Traps & Snares + Solar Panels & all the things you need to set them up+Potassium Iodate the Anti-Radiation pills=Geiger Counters++++++ Don't give up your BEER,GUNS & GOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Libertarian_Guard]

night vision goggles.

Any small strong 90 degree clip, with a hole on each side works as a snare with cable wire looped through, it's best to secure the cable with an anti-rotation swivel.

[IrishGold]

I guess I must be really dumb; just what is "an anti-rotation swivel"? That sounds like an oxymoron to me.

[Libertarian_Guard]

It's to prevent the cable from becoming untwined, for small game a fishing tackle swivel would be fine.

[goldissima]

just a reminder - as the collapse gets closer

[Raccoon]

Condoms should be near the top but they are missing completely.

Edit: I found booze and cig on the list now...

[Maple Leaf Steve]

Curious, has anyone put an order of PRIORITY on any of these items, such as, which are most important, and quantities?

Won't the oil also smell like fish? What would the uses for the oil be besides cooking? Good idea though at least for a change of pace when eating large quantities of tuna, as all I have is tuna in water. Eating it in oil will be like a eating a different dish, lol.

The oil probably has more calories too, which is a plus if you are down to eating your preps.

Maybe we could use a list of 100 SHTF items that could be sold on the Ebay for people that could use items.

[____hoot____]

huummm your wetback neighbors? maybe I'll follow them, would much rather be there than here where it gets to -20 degrees

That could me the reason?

I don't like it though and it got feed to the dogs.

[MidwestMan]

Thank you for a very good list. (copying)

Side note: how long is Kerosene good for? Does one type of container over another make a storage length difference? Being warm is a very important thing and I would like to have a backup plan that is multi-faceted.

[Tn...Andy]

For the purpose of burning ( as fuel in a heater ) or lighting a lamp, I would imagine kerosene has an unlimited shelf life in a sealed container.

I have couple 55gal drums I put up 10 years ago, and I never plan to crack them open unless TSHTF. Also have 25-30 five gallon metal cans of almost the same age where I walked into Home Depot one day and they had them piled up on closeout for 4.94/can....regular 25 bucks. I took the whole pile ! I've used a few of the cans in a torpedo space heater since then, but still have most of them.

For the purpose of a Kerosene Heater. Although a kerosene stove seems to be a good thing to have too. Either way, your suggesting it would last a long time. I was thinking of getting kerosene 5 gallon cans and filling them up, for a SHTF scenario. However, you seem to have found sealed 55 gallon drums.

my only real choice to store the kerosene, is in the garage, or above the garage (over rafters) It gets hot up there in the summer (my guess is about 100+ degrees) and can be 10 degrees or less, in the winter.

Any thoughts?

p.s. And thank you for all the info you have published here.
