Had never thought about it much but lately decided it may not be such a bad idea? Curious If many have something like that.

You have a carpeted garage?I have A LOT of camping equipment. Like, an entire vertical garage cabinet full of just stuff for camping. One backpack in particular is packed in such a way that you might refer to it as a bugout or survival bag. It would just need a weapon and some ammo. Flashlights, knives, crank radio, old cell phone & changer, glasses, stove, fuel, mre's, water purification, blanket, basic hand tools, first aid etc.
However, I have 40 gallons of fresh water in my garage via 8 5-gallon containers that I fear will eventually actually be needed and much more useful than any survival bag.
I have back up money for when I lose a bet of $1000 to someone on a message board.

I don't have a survival bag packed. I have a lot of gear that would be useful, but it's not ready to go.
This is pretty much how mine came to be. It's just an organization of tools. It can be a go-to bag for specialty items when camping, but when not, it could be useful in another capacity... so why not.I don't have a survival bag packed. I have a lot of gear that would be useful, but it's not ready to go.
I started saving water several years ago when Wyvern(CastleRubic), twice, said it might be a good idea. I figured it was smart to listen to dudes working at the CDC.so you people with all this survival shit at home, what happens when your at work or shopping with the wife or doing whatever miles and miles away when the shit hits the fan? pretty useless then, right? except for us looters that will be happy as hell when we run across these prepper stashes and just know someone else did all the hard work for us.
Bottlecaps, man.I got a cool half million in CSA dollars. Just bidin’ my time.

My Mormon friend always told me that they are taught to keep a year's worth non-perishable food and other random supplies.
When he amd his mother would visit me, they always brought their own food.
The generator thing is on my short list. When we had all new electrical put in the house last year, we almost had a permanent generator installed with it. Just didn't know how long we;d be staying here... almost regret it now.
Don't forget about a seed bank. Gotta have a seed bank.
My stash isn't for SHTF, its more for "big ice storm (or tornado, etc) takes out the crappy power lines in BFE where my house is and the roads are closed because BFE also doesn't have the money for ice removal on any of the rural roads". The last big ice storm we had shut down the roads around my property and took out our power for almost a week. I added a generator and a bank of golf cart batteries with solar charging so we can at least have nice electronic things running to kill time with.
The 30 days of food was just a random number that popped in my head when I was planning - seemed logical at the time - and it fit the closet. The water barrels are for keeping the plants around the house watered, and the one on the garage keeps the small stock tank "pond" in my duck pen topped off, so they aren't SHTF either - just usable as such if needed.
Besides, If society falls apart so fast that someone is looting all the way out in BFE at my house on the first day, we're all doomed anyway. Even in an apocalypse, people are going to loot Best Buy well before they come to my house.
If shit gets that bad, I'm doing as many drugs as I can until I die. Might as well go out with a buzz.
-Probably one of the biggest things we have going for us are skills. Knowledge of the outdoors, fishing, camping, hunting.....making fire, shelter. Preparing food and water....etc.
Excellent point. In the age of grown-ass men not knowing how to even hang a picture or change a flat tire, trying to survive in the wild would be like watching a monkey **** a football.
That might be the best idea for a reality show ever, and one I might actually watch - take the cast of Big Brother and put them on Naked and Afraid. It would be one of the shortest shows ever, but the entertainment value would be through the roof...
"I saw that jaguars are just like big housecats on a youtube video - it was purring and everything. Lets go pet it!"
going in when I can save up 200 dollas...
