While I agree with you on the TEOTWAKI flavor of the link I shared, I thought that, since others were discussing the idea of a bucket for stashing some "bug-over" supplies at a relatives or other location, this might be found useful.

My biggest disagreement with the TEOTWAKI type survivalist is thier presumption that they will be better off hiding at a remote location desperately defending what little they have rather than in immedaitely joining ranks with whomever they find and attempting to rebuild as much civilization as can be as quickly and amicably as can be. Both are likely to happen as is often displayed in the microcosm of hurricane survivors. Some come out day after and set up their grills and start cooking anything that they have and throwing a block party for whomever is left standing, they pitch in and clean up each others downed trees, share gasolene, help stabilize homes and look after the elderly. Others will get out the shotgun and run off the looters that inevitably arrive to take what they have after hearing their generator and seeing the blaze of their electric lights in the otherwise darkened landscape. Both scenarios will play out and both are probably unavoidable. For myself I would rather serve the looter a nice barbecue dinner and recruit them in the effort of rebuilding the neighborhood if possible than confront them and have to protect myself from them with arms.

OTOH, I would be prepared to protect myself with fire power if that became necessary but it wouldn't be my first option. Rather make a friend and widen the zone of civilization than make an enemy and isolate myself into an armed garrison.

Maybe I'm a starry-eyed romantic.
