Big dogs disappear?

Yup. Delicious sauteed and served with rice. It's known as woking the dog.

I thought that only happened if you lived next to Koreans.

Thanks Dennis!

This is truely a useful list.

Excellent list Dennis. Thank-you.

Going down the list I realize just how well prepared I am. Not only do I have most of the things on the list, I have a second and third and fourth spare one (for barter). Many of my tools and utensils are manually-operated (i.e. don't run on gas or machinery - just good-old-fashioned tools).

I wouldn't recommend getting a large dog. They eat too much food.

The most important things are: a source of heat (i.e. wood), and ammo. You can live without electricity but you can't live without heat. There is nothing more miserable than waking up freezing cold at 4 in the morning and not being able to get warm or heat water to wash yourself. If you don't have a plentiful source of heat - forget it. Ammo is also important for self-defense and hunting.

The other thing I would add to the list is lots and lots of newspaper for starting a fire with. Starting a fire without paper is much harder and tedious.

To piggy back on this - you also will want to be able to heat water b/c when a crisis hits, that's when the diseases will break out like wildfire and bathing, washing hands, and sterlizing water will be vital.

So....Dennis....not that I'm paranoid... but is there any particular reason (tinfoily or not) you posted that list now?

Nah, I was just surfing, ran into it and saw its revelence to the forum...

But I am a pretty hardcore doomer and beyond bearish about the future...

As I don't yet have the 200K I need for the homestead I want, and I'm running out of time, I'm leaning toward buying an older not fancy house in a small town somewhere out of Florida(because it's too hot here to store any food long term if the power goes off) that has a basement with no windows (not so obvious it's there) and FILL IT THE FUCK UP WITH 50K OF ALL THIS SHIT AND TONS OF BULK FOOD!

Then hide the basement door real well and go out and get involved in a community garden. I don't have the energy to do all this gardening, chickening, rabbiting, and mooing all by myself.

[Lowblow]

Great list, was able to check off several as * in Inventory* 

If these items do not become scarce, They will surely RISE in Price.     )

Thanks for posting that, I've been putting my own list together and there's a few I would not have thought of.
