Ok.

You have $2K at your disposal. You want to make some preps- just in case. NOT INCLUDING food or firearms, what do you pick up that you may not have access to buy later?

a welder? a grill? tools? Pick 5 things guys (or survival and family-minded ladies lurking...).

BTW- think in terms of practicality, not necessarily survival.

First aid supplies. Things like one emergency backpack per family member ready to go, with an emergency blanket, food rations, water, matches, flashlights, toilet paper, etc. And one big one for the car.

A generator, a stove that doesn't require gas or electricity to work. A wood stove would be great, so you can cook on it and keep your house warm.

That's what I'm talking about...keep it coming.

Here's my list:

Gasoline (you'd need cans to store it in)
Extra Clothing, especially coats, hats, and mittens
AM/FM/Shortwave radio
Batteries
Flashlight

Conceivably, that 2K could get spent quickly when preparing.

Water purifying items (tablets, pitchers, straws) depending on where you live.

Flint

A couple of good knives with sharpening stones (if your in an area where you can hunt)

A crank radio and one of those shaker flashlights.

We got flashlights and radios that don't need batteries already.

A cook stove fireplace sounds like a good idea.


planning for getting left behind, huh...

No way man! I'm thinking more like no access to cash- bank holidays and such. I've got all kinds of stuff for "camping"- we've been campers as long as I've been alive. I'm talking practical items in a pinch, not survival.

Say my trailer cracks, I might need a welder. Maybe we lose power for a week or two- a generator, a good grill, etc. Things like that.
