<p>[QUOTE=&quot;treylxapi47, post: 1644424, member: 41863&quot;]To add to that list I would say if you have the means to stock up on items you should first acquire things for your immediate survival, then stockpile items that benefit you in some way and can be used as leverage.</p><p><br /></p><p>So first few things should be food for a few months, silver and gold to trade with initially, guns and AMMO to protect what you have plus hunt for food, and in the case of AMMO, trade like silver for what you need, water supply or purification should be high on that list somewhere too.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then the next things you stockpile are society crutches. Prescription medicines, tobacco, alcohol, etc. Things people go ape-$h!t3 when they dont have access to it. For instance pain medicine. People who are addicted to those pills will do ANYTHING for that next fix, so you have the advantage in several ways, first off you have what they need so you can calm them down by providing it for them, that earns loyalty to some degree if they know they can keep getting what they need from you, and secondly you have now forged a worker who will quite literally do most anything you need done so they can keep getting high. Plus, you also have a stockpile of pain meds if you happen to fall and break an arm or something, AND most addicts will sell their valuables CHEAP for a fix, so the upper-hand in acquiring other useful materials. Same goes for alcohol, when people get depressed or lose their job or marriage they frequently turn to alcohol to &#039;forget things&#039;, I could see a similar situation playing out if they lose everything, so alcohol becomes useful, plus its also a great disinfectant and sterilizes, not to mention potentially helps as a mild anesthesia during mild operations if no real access to true medicinal alternatives. Learn how to make and use a still, its value could be great!</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway in short be as prepared as you logistically are able and in a terrible situation like that dont be afraid to play off of other folks addictions and stupidity. MY survival is what matters most to me and protecting my people and family, short of that, everyone else is fair game unless they are trying to band together as a group to help. As it stands right now, EVERYONE has the opportunity to prepare themselves in some way for a worst case scenario, even $100 bucks can go along way in ensuring your survival so dont expect much help from those that prepared <u>IF YOU DIDNT</u>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
