(This is the conclusion to the article series that began on Friday.)
Appendix A
The following is essentially a “wish” list; however the items that are in bold are relatively important. The tools and medical areas would be for a complement for 1-10 people. The sundries area covers a family of six. The food area is for one person for one year, multiply (or divide) as you see fit. There is extra food included for charitable impulses. Coordinate purchases among the group if you plan to congregate. I live in Georgia, so the clothing and supplies are tailored for that area; make modifications to the list to accommodate your particular AO or preferences. The weapons list really is a bare minimum. The anvil included in the lists is a clue that I plan on bugging in, rather than bugging out. (Bugging out, while it may become necessary, is just a fancy way of saying “refugee.”)
