I’ve gotten a bit lax on preparedness

Admittedly, it was a lot easier to be fully stocked with certain items when I lived in a house and had more space. But after the recent assassination attempt, I realized I need to restock some items if we were to ever had turmoil that forces us to hunker down at home for a time.

Very, very good list. I too believe in having a good collection of reference books for the survival library. I didn't hear you mention common hardware like a few boxes of screws, nails, etc. Keeping some spare lumber around is nice too, assuming you have storage to keep it dry and laying flat so it doesn't warp.

@@TheBackwoodsHermit Those are great suggestions! I think we do have spare hardware lying around, but I’d have to double check with my husband. I’m glad you mentioned it because now I’m going to ask him what he would like to add to the list and get to gettin’. 👍

Thanks for some items I'd missed. I've started collecting Hand tools such as drills, planes, and augurs etc. Picked up a 1950s hand drill , which my neighbour had thrown out. All it needed was a bit oil. These things were made to last. Modern tools seem to be made of Chineseum. A metal that breaks after a year. Also have been given books on cooking, which are over 100 years old.

@@robert-yv2yj Modern tools definitely have an unfortunate lack of quality these days!

@@miscellaneousme Very true. Plus if SHTF there may be no electricity.
