I am assuming that you will be farming, patrolling, standing guard, walking everywhere, etc.
So, I am opening you guys up to my thoughts about clothes and boots. This is long term, of course, I would say, 3 years.
Ok, I have 3 sets of good AOR 2 woodland Camo, with Goretex top, with fleece and long john top and bottom. Boonie hat, 2 8 point covers, and helmet cover.

I have 3 MARPAT tops, and 1 set of bottoms (so far). More items to come.
For last resort, I have 4 blue camo sets of uniforms, 1 fleece, 1 Goretex top, 2 8 Point covers.
I own 2 sets of desert boots, 2 sets of black steel toed leather boots, and 1 set of Converse tactical boots.
2 Rigger belts by Blackhawk, and lots of socks (30+) sets, 8 belts with buckles, and 9 brown T-shirts, 15 blue T-shirts, and 10 white T-shirts.
This is not my normal civilian clothes, and I plan on having all of the aforementioned items in the car if we have to Bugout, because I know how hard it is to make functional clothes.
So here is the discussion topic: What do YOU (and your family) have for long term clothes? do you own more than 1 of what you need? what about cold weather stuff (like gloves that wear out)?
I hope to see some good responses.
