guns.
What you need iS what you consume now! It's pretty simple, actually. Like right now I have an infant, I've never seen formula on a list anywhere. I know I need it, but if I go off whoever the latest guy to claim to be a "survival" expert, I'd have none. You'll know and figure out more by assessing your own situation and planning from there, then look to others for additional input.
I'll start a list...add to it.

3. Bacon scented homemade candles

Let me start by saying this is my opinion and may not work for everyone and I am a guy.
I am so tired of seeing people say they need formula for their infant. My wife nursed our children and so have generations upon generations of other women. Why stock formula, your wife has the ability to make all the food your child will ever need and it won't cost anything and you don't have to store it.
Let us what if for one minute...
S has HTF, "your" wife gets pregnant, "you" have no formula stored because "your" child is now 5 and all that "you" did have was bartered off or went bad, there are no formula manufactureres and "you" don't own a milk producing animal and can't barter for milk from one.... what are "you" going to do then?
this is another stupid question brought to you by: Me
Does alcohol expire?
Both rubbing alcohol and liquor alcohol?
After reading One second after I think I need to stock up on T.P. and feminine hygiene products. I just can't figure out how to store those bulky packages and keep the mice out. Sorry not really what you asked for. I have not seen the "list"
Not sure what the big deal is....you can eat mice and insects. It's the cool thing about being at the top of the food chain.
powdered or in the jar?

dont forget powdered milk, instant oatmeal and instant potatoes. the both high in carbs which will help you get through a day of looking for other thing you need and the prep is easy and you can store a lot in a very small space. dont forget your over the counter pain relievers
Add pancake mix and dehydrated water to the list.

So has anybody actually bought this guy's DVD with all the "extra bonus" information?
Since you should be rotating your stocks anyway, this shouldn't be an issue. Most PB on the store shelves has a 1-2 year expiration date. Check before you buy! The last time I bought from Sam's club the expiration was 2014, and that was earlier this year!
I have seen ...crank radio receiver....listed, and wondered if any of you have specific recommendations. I read amazon reviews, and there was so much information that I am just not familiar with yet. ( I have an interest in ham radio, but am just at the very beginning.)
At this point, the radio wouldn' t need to be real portable as it will be in my house...possibly /probably in the basement. It would be a place to start, so that I am covered if there is no power, for now.
Also thinking that this could be a good Christmas gift !
