Oh IDK, meds and hygienics?

Why does everyone forget this shit?

>>35112142
Not nearly enough water. 36 MREs vs 10 gallons? Yeah no. You'll need 2 gallons a day for drinking, plus more for washing and flushing toilets.

Plus wet wipes for washing your ass in humid conditions. Bug spray.

>>35112142
Replace the carrier with a battle belt. Replace the griptillian with an ESEE 6 or similar knife. Get way more water.

Enjoy your shitty filtration system.

Not gonna lie i've been thinking about this recently.

I live in a naturally safe part of america but there is the potential for severe earthquakes made even worse by lack of preparation as they are extremely uncommon. A good go could have the area fucked worse than Katrina in the matter of hours with no warning. not to mention aftershocks. All this storm shit has me thinking about my own situation.

thinking:
>very basic supplementary food to compliment typical pantry stores. Focus on enough basic nutrition to support household for 1-2 Mo
>basic medicine. Really only acquiring "fish" antibiotics combined with typical OTC medicine comes to mind
>Having some basic use chemicals on hand at all times might not be a bad idea for disinfectant, etc.
>Basic body armor. Thinking enough to stop typical rifle rounds would be best. carrying armor is an inconvenience, might as well be meaningfully protected.
>Trauma kit.
>ammo store ~500rnds

Id welcome any advice on materials

Yeah fixed blade def the way to go. More water really needed though if its a short term (call it 7-10 days) event? Honestly think I only drink 1 gallon a day right now

>>35112165

Yep, first aid kit definitely needed.

Would include:

>Nasopharyngeal Airway
>Chest Seal
>Needle Decompression Kit
>2 Tourniquet
>2 x Emergency Trauma Dressing
>Gauze
>QuikClot Gauze
>Medic Shears
>Hydrogen Peroxide
>Rubbing Alcohol

Think that about covers it from the medical side.

More water is definitely necessary. You don't just need it to drink, you need it to wash yourself and also for food prep. You don't have to go out and pay for a gallon of it like OP said. everytime you empty a gallon of milk or if you're OK comes in a plastic container instead of paper, wash it out and fill it up with water.

>>35112353
Forget the macho bullshit. Think potable water, like as big a tank as you can carry and a bottle of bleach, and an entire closet fulla toilet paper plus a trowel for digging shitters.

Two hundred rounds will do you fine. You're not laying down suppressive fire in the Sunni Triangle. What kind of rifle do you have?

>>35112894

Windham Weaponry CDI and a Glock 19 for my SHTF kit.

>>35112142
$2000 worth of ramen.

>>35112894
Of course the gay dude us telling people "forget macho shit"

>>35112435
What about an ace bandage, gauze, antibiotics, and large band aids? What about tissue closures like steri-strips and suture kits? All the stuff you have listed is to keep people alive until they get to a hospital which might not exist.

>You'll need 2 gallons a day for drinking
In order to drown yourself?
