Water filters, medical supplies, lighters, more ammo for your primary, would be a good start

>>35038731
As long as you can move it. That's enough supplies to hold out. You should also have the normal food for daily life, that does account for a few days. So just have your plans. From natural disasters to Chinese invasion. Seems fine to me. Just continue to consider what you would do for continued water needs and any electric needs like phones and shit.

Water and canned goods. I disagree with 'more ammo for your primary' as a pistol would be more concealable and versatile.

Walking around with a full sized rifle like an sks would instantly get you too much attention if people are losing their minds.

thank god i'm leaving this shithole of a state today and have a full tank of gas to last me till Oklahoma

fuck texas and these wannabe cowboys

oh and the spurs suck ass

Yeah I think I can hold out for two weeks at most if I fill up the tub. I just was astounded at the sheer stupidity of people hoarding because of a rumor

>>35038890
I found it for $500 at a pawn shop

>>35038920
didn't even think of multivites

How long can I store water/ what's the best way to do so?

Thanks for the feedback, guys.

I mean it's just like playing dayz senpai, you let the gear whores do all the legwork hoarding loot and bushwhack them for their gear

Have fun getting your shit pushed in by someone with a rifle when SHTF. At least your pistol is easy to conceal. While you're at it, why don't you load yourself down with more ammo for an ineffective sidearm?

>>35038731
you should probably get more pistol rounds. what you have is like 3 mags worth. might be a good idea to add some vegetables to your prep. canned goods lasts like a decade. you should rate your tuna in lbs of meat rather than cans. lastly you need more water. think a gallon a day plus a gallon every 3 days for bathing.

>>35039007
Yeah this is just what I have on hand. I have a quad-pack of huggies babby wipes so I figured I could bathe with those

>>35038731
Need much more water, ideally a bit more food, antibiotics (critical!), more medical supplies, and it wouldn't hurt to have like 10 gallons of gas in your garage.

>>35039061
Oh, also a water filter. There are some backpacking ones out there that last a while.

>buying a water filter
you guys need to stop falling for this bullshit.

>People getting in fistfights over an imaginary gas shortage
same here in Waco, these retards dried up the tanks and all we got was some rain

>>35039098
QuikTrip near my house was the only place that had gas. I spent 40 minutes waiting, burning that vague amount of fuel that is left after the needle dips under the red line.

QT employees were actually directing traffic efficiently and streamlined the process. I hope they got raises

>Don't buy a water filter, idiot, just use all the ingredients that comprise water filters

A water filter system is useful because you don't have to spend a fuckload of time making it safe. You can use solar water disinfection if you have a plastic water bottle. Just leave it in the sun for 6-8 hours and it will kill most organisms. This doesn't filter particulate matter though. Look up SODIS for more info, but if you have no better option, leaving water in a clear plastic bottle in the sun will work.

Ah, yes, that's so small and easy to carry around. And water that looks clean is totally safe to drink.

Meanwhile, pic related (Sawyer Mini) is rated for 100k gallons, is $20 on Amazon, and is fucking tiny.

>>35039208
That's neat as hell

>best way to store water
Boil it to kill off microbes, then stick it in a sealed container (ideally glass for taste) in the dark
>how long
A long time. Feel free to check it every couple months to make sure it's still good.

>>35038731
The real answer that the peppers don't like is "get the fuck outta dodge before shit goes down". Have a buddy in a different state where you can crash on their couch if need be, get there before SHTF and not after

That only works if you live close to the equator (i.e. upto 35°N/S)

I've got a buddy with some bottling gear i could borrow, good idea

>>35039416
I live in the 9th biggest city in the US (the rank may have changed but still). Counting on being on the leading edge of the wave of evacuees is unrealistic at best

>>35038731
For dry foods your going to need mylay bags (Get 1 gallon bags) 50 for $30, oxygen absorbers and a hair straitener (To seal bags)
Put foods in bags, put oxygen absorbers in seal bags, there are many YouTube videos on this process. Mylar bagged foods will last 15 to 20 years depending on what foods.
Good foods to bag are rice, beans, flour, sugar, grits, oatmeal, coffee, dry gravy, corn, the list is huge.
I store my prepps in cooler sized storage boxes, each box is 1 week of supplies, it makes inventory easy and if I need to take it, I have 1 week of supplies instead of a box of 30 bags of a single food.
A few things I also have in these boxes, multi vitamins, seasonings, hot sauce, salt, hygiene kit, towel, candle, duct tape, water filter.
Each box is a tad different, like 1/3 boxes actually have multi vitamins, different hot sauces. But Id say they are 3/4s food.
Know the difference better oxygen absorbers and silica packs.
Oxygen absorbers are for foods.
Silica packs are for keeping things dry.

>>35039208
Can confirm these Sawyer mini filters are the best filters available.
Pro tip: these screw into most plastic bottles like 2 liter soda bottles, you can use a plastic bottle gravity fed so it filters water all day.

It's not imaginary. Most of Texas uses Texan gas. Those refineries just got ass fucked, and hard. There are literally no trucks coming to fill your stations. The one next to my job ran out before there was even a gas panic at all.
