Great article. This thread is going back to the good ol days of the beginning when we ejected ourselves from another location. Yep, still here, still busy.
Wood: got a 100acres
Stoves: coleman gas 2EA.
Lanterns: 8
Deer: a plenty
Been at this awhile so it's more about recommendations.
We, having been on the move an build for the last 4yrs are getting down to the last of the details on the cabin. Then we'll be able to "unpack".
Keeping with topic at hand. Accumulate, inventory, organize, stash. Wash rinse repeat. Rotate stock.
You don't have to buy all at once. A bean here a bullet there, etc. Just bought two AR parts kits, and a few other spare parts the other day. AR's have tooo many little parts..........
Be safe.............the night is your friend.
Nail clippers
Chapstick
bandaids (small boxes)
small bars of soap (amazon sells hotel sized soap bars)
pencils and note pads
shoe laces (550 cord may not fit well)
Basically, things that are on the ends of aisles in stores...
Medical is often overlooked, or at least under stocked. So many think of surgery and gunshot wounds, but ignore the splinters, nicks and scrapes we get all the time. While the big stuff is important, although most likely, people won't survive any serious home surgery, the small stuff can turn into big stuff when ignored.
Supplies to clean and care for the small things will also be important in a world where hygene has dropped down.
Liberty is not a cruise ship full of pampered passengers.
Liberty is a Man-Of-War, and we are all crew.
the number and seriosness of those cuts & nicks will be increasing for the majority of the people - they'll be doing outdoor chores they only did on occasion on the weekends - and chores that are a lot more dirty they did in their entire life >>> like latrine duty ...
what won't be helping is the lack of running water to wash out any cuts - don't compound it by neglecting to sanitize and cover it well >> stock a few pints of betadine - finger cots along with a good supply of bandaids - the $$$ Dollar Stores have tubes of triple antibiotic ointments - rolls of med tape - 4 X 4 gauze pads for the bigger injuries or piece out for the smaller ....

Also antibiotics for "Murphy" type infections that come along....abscessed tooth! Blood poisoning from those cuts, etc. Many to get into to deep but you'd need to think about those that are allergic to the penicillin family. Pills last longer than the expiration dates. Liquids do not.
Be safe.............the night is your friend.
Not a lot of people can trim their nails with a knife, any more - and will suffer mightily in the attempt. As far as letting toe nails grow out, their footwear will soon not fit properly.
