Got lots of ammo, and a bug out box with gear and clothes and items. Made that right after I saw what happened during Katrina.
Also have lots of water.
I'd really like to have a generator and extra gas - but my wife would think I'm a nut if I do that.
Slowly restocking the food supplies again. I used to keep some water bottles on top of the food storage. 1 leaked and ruined everything. I have to start over again on that.

well i dont she`ll think your nuts if your the only house on the block with electric in the winter. Show her the new die hard movie, and how important it is to have a back up plan because the goverment isnt going to specially help you out in a emergency. Prime example New Orleans.

Speaking of lose of power, are you guys planned for SHTF that includeds an intense electromagnetic storm (created from a solar flare or elsewhere) or a strong electromagnetic pulse (EMP) that will fry all your eletriconic devices? Say..an eotech, aimpoint, flashlight, eletronic gun safe (try getting your guns out then :-D ), or backup power generator?
Just curious on your thoughts and plans.
Lets hear them.

You could keep everything inside a faraday cage.
Or have one built into your house. Let's see whose wife kicks them out first
It would cheaper to just sell the house and move into a shipping container.

I don't think a backup generator would do you any good in a disaster of that scale. It would probably only serve to attract the attention of other survivors who will try and take it from you.

Here is my kit that I have assembled so far. I have also included a list of future purchases once finances allow. My plan is to meet up with the extended family at a pre-determined location and move into the mountains away from the city. I think if you stay in the city, after about a week people will know who has food and who doesn't and they will find a way to beat your defenses. By moving into the mountains you will have plenty of locations to set up a base camp and plenty of resources to replenish your supply's. hopefully within 6-7 months the world will calm down or we will have set up a sufficient hunting/gathering/farming system to be self reliant.
Current Preparations:
-Sig P226, 5 Mags, 200 rds
-M4, 4 mags, 500 rds
-PS90, 1 Mag, 100 rds
-1 years worth of food for 4 adults
Future Plans:
-Springfield M1A SOCOM 2- for hunting/protection
-FiveseveN( already will have the rounds so why not)
-henry surviver 22LR
-at least 1000-3000 rounds for all weapons
-at least 10 mags per weapon
-extensive medical kit
-tools(shovels, saws, hammers, etc)
-generator
-fuel
-water purification system
-a house in the mountains, or a way to transport my family, gear and relatives to our new hold up site.
-more food because my extended family isn't preparing
-clothing for all seasons(it gets cold in the mountains)
