View Full Version : What's in your disaster kit?

I'm curious about the types of disasters any of you and your loved ones may have prepared yourselves for! Floods, zombies, earthquakes, general apocalyptic conditions?? Might be dependent on what kind of dookie likes to hit the fan in your location. I know people in the Pacific Northwest like to think they have zombie issues. Regardless, you hear that it's recommended you have 3 days worth of supplies in the event of some kind of major disaster. I personally am skeptical of this time-line and would rather plan for worse without being overly cumbersome.

So here's where you share on what you have in your disaster kit/supply/cache/bunker and why! Anything that makes yours unique? Are you prepared for anything specific?

Don't have disaster kit?? Talk about what you WOULD have in yours, then. I'm just starting one myself right now and have divided it so far into medical supplies and camping supplies for what I want to throw together. My hope isn't to survive any one scenario, just general survivability itself if things get ugly. And maybe we could improve each others' kits with ideas, feedback, and experience.


--------


Medical Supplies I have so far: bandaging supplies, masks, sterile gloves, topical anesthetics, IV supplies and fluid, and a few medications that I doubt would ever have to use on myself.

Camping Supplies I have so far: leatherman multi-tool, Swedish FireSteel (~3000 uses), waterproof matches, Coleman Fire Starters (these tiny flammable blocks that can ignite when wet), and a self-charging flashlight-radio (12-in-1 gadget with some cool built-in features)

Things I plan to add: a suture kit, MREs, broad spectrum antibiotics, potassium supplements, a portable water filter, a firearm (after becoming more familiar with them), hiking pack, small tent, and quality sleeping bag

Things I want to add:

- One of these: www.fleshlight.com (http://www.fleshlight.com)
- A firearm (only when I learn how to use it!)
- A dark, private room accessable only by me with locks on the inside and windows with privacy glass so I can see out but NO ONE can see in and see what I'm doing.

A fishing pole, water proof matches, and a gun. That's all I need. At least that what Survivorman tells me. Everything else could be scavenged.

You don't plan on incorporating the firearm into your private room activities, do you? :confused:

I've got my rifles and pistols, lots of ammo, lots of stuff to reload my brass, what else do you need?

Dependings on how wide the barrel's opening is. Also, if I get my fleshlight before the firearm, I wouldn't need to, but who knows. I might get bored.

I dont need a disaster bag. I plan on chopping off one of my legs and putting in its place an m203 grenade launcher. Then with the help of several losers who only own lingerie I will destroy all the bad guys.

I actually won both Les Stroud and Bear Grylls in a poker game, so I think I'll be alright.

Make sure the ball gag fits you. Chafing is the worst.

edit: Fuck you, AR. Anyway, my comment was better.

What a man does in his zombie shelter is his own business.

I am pretty set, I have camping gear like crazy, dozens of knives and axes, a well for water, and a good amount of rations. Firearms, I got a few, and the ability to use them. I also have two generators, one general portable one, and one high end one now in the game2u van i bought for the biz which is ultra high end.

Just need to commandeer a fuel depot, and be fairly set.

Heh

Rob is that head cannibal the evil plantation house scene in The Road that made the movie so terrifying. We are all just waiting to be pieces of meat in his dungeon. Why plan for anything else.

I do not have a dedicated "kit".

My garage/tool bench has most items that I would require and because of its frequent use - I'm assured that all supplies at any given time are not old/outdated/rusted/dull etc. The only other location I would require access to is my gun locker - which is also well stocked and frequently used.

I actually have a small "in case of emergency" stash. I have 8 gallons of water which I change out every 6 months or so. That's it.

But I also have (not on my in case of emergency list cause I always have it). About a dozen weapons, ammo, fishing gear, knives, etc. I should be the last house you want to break into to see if I have something to loot :)

Yeah, most are hunting rifles of various calibers. A few single and double action wheel guns, and a few automatic handguns. I'm no Ted Kazinski!
