Get yourself 10,000 gallons of fuel and you could run it non-stop for half a year. The fuel costs are always the most expensive part by far. For that, they ought to just give the darned gensets away for free, dontcha think?

This reviving an old topic, but...

Firearms and Ammunition, $4000
Kitchen Upgrade $6000 (got to compromise in a marriage)

I'll play too. A new used vehicle, big enough for the whole family to bug out in.

Liberty Lincoln 50 safe: ~$3500
AR in .308 & .243 ~$3000
Generator & installation ~$1000-$1500
Start block wall in back of garage (other three already block & roof is concrete slab) & fill cells w/ concrete as req'd

Rolex Milgauss with green crystal -$6000
LaRue OBR 5.56 completely setup - $3800

Two 55-gallon drums to hold water: ~$200
Take down two pine trees in front yard: $350
Put chestnut tree in front yard: $200
Add more fruit trees to back yard: $150
Assorted preventative maintenance on vehicles: $1000
Hire maid: until whatever $$$ was left ran out.

-Blast, pretty much prepared for anything at this point.

By the way, saw Sheriff Blasts's comment and I needed to ask a relatively dumb question. I need to get a clean 55 gal drum to hold water. I live in Los Angeles. The local hardware stores dont seem to have them. Where would I look?

thanks,

Emergency Essentials has the best price overall of anywhere I've found them because their shipping rate is only like $9. I've ordered assorted stuff from this company in the past and they are okay price-wise and good at customer service.
