Eddie you and I are on the same page for sure. We have to come prepared. Self sufficient without depending on outside sources is great.......but thats why we need to come with items to get us thru until we know what we are dealing with. I don't think my list is perfect for the per person gear, but I think it's pretty darn good. LOL. That stuff will keep us alive long enough to adapt and overcome whatever it is we will face.
The stuff people think I forgot to deal with, I will give you a list of now. I had my dad read this whole thread and he agrees with you Eddie, there needs to be an account to put money in, to find our 10th planet fortress and start stocking with the rest of what we need. My dad thought 20 bucks a month would give us a good start to work with. He had a good idea, We all hope the only thing that happens is a 10th planet tourny on that date. I still want to be a world champion, I can't do that if the world ends.LOL.
If nothing bad happens, we can take all the food stock piled to the homeless. Any equipment, can be sold off and give to charity, That was my dads idea.....I thought it was a good one.
Ok this is a list of what I think we will need at 10th Planet fortress. Sorry it took so long, put some thought and research into this.
Large storage drums for water. You can get huge 1000 gallon plastic storage tanks, Not that expensive. Made for homes that have shortage of water problems. tanks are filled and used when wells run low. A bunch of house's in my area use them. We have them filled prior to date. We would just have to boil stored water before we use.
Hand pumped water filter, with stockpile of replacement filters. Use to pump water from tanks and filter at same time.
Several normal hand pumps for fuel and oil.
Stored 55 gallon drums of gas and oil. Someone smarter than me would need to figure out how much we should have on hand. I just know we will need it
Cistern for collecting rain water
Extra Iodine and purifcation tablets
Tons of canned food. Enough to last how many ever people in the fortress for at least 1 year
Surpluss style blankets, can be bought at army surpluss cheap.
Portable natural gas stove and supply of natural gas.
ASigned area that would be used for medical area, with supply of bandages and stuff that could be used to treat injuries. It needs to be as well eguiped as possible like a war MASH unit.
Bicycle powered generator
Gasoline powered generator (used only in emergencies)
Rechargeable portable short wave radio
Extra flashlights
Several case's of batteries, for flashlights radio etc.
Full tool chest, Car mech style. fully stocked for needed repairs on machinery
Rechargeable lamps
Full supply normal building tools. Hammer nails sledghammer hand saws ax etc.
case of chemical light sticks
case of emergency flares
Case's of toilet paper
Supply of lime or bleaching powder to make latrine
High powered telescope
Several cases of duck tape
Several fire extinguishers
Hardware supply chest, nuts bolts, fuel line, rubber hose etc.
Gieger counter and radiation stickers, stickers attach to clothing and change color if come in contact with levels to high.
Most important.... a library. Stocked manuels for small engine repair, auto repair general disaster what to do books. This may help us survive long term. This could be done by us starting now until the time. We read books than forward them to the address of fortress. So we have a fully stocked library when we arrive.
As with my personal supply list we should adjust and build to this as we think things thru more.
