40 Items to stock up on before a SHTF situation

[Hinotori]

I have enough zip ties to last a normal person a lifetime. Or just enough to have a few spare after I put up new chicken roofs. Then I need to get more

Haha that reminds me of this video my husband showed me. Everytime we shoot our pistols we always think of this and say, " We throw the bullets, not shoot them! " The stupid, but kinda funny things my husband finds on YouTube.

If I'm ever in a gun fight I want it to be against someone with using the super modified gansta grip throwing bullets at me.

I'd add canning jars to the list, especially ones filled with food!

 

[Hinotori]

Canning lids to go with that. Lots of lids!

I like the video - those would be my lame taunts, too. lol

As for ammo - I had a friend who had an ammo-couch in his basement. He had enough ammo stashed that he stacked some of the boxes to form a couch, he put some old cushions on it and covered it with blankets. It was not very comfortable.
