Lists are static, while circumstances vary, technology changes, and people grow, adapt, and learn new skills and strategies. Don't take any lists too seriously, but look at them for hints and new approaches to improve your current preps.

When I started my career, my first supervisor was a Mormon. We lived fairly far out in the boondocks (Wupatki National Monument). Isolation due to storms, etc. was not at all unusual. It was fairly obvious that stocking up was a good thing to do,as was acquisition of a fair number of emergency skills. It was quite a few years before I lived in any kind of town where one could make casual trips to the supermarket.

I agree with you about the religious stuff. On the other hand, their practical advice is rock solid. Trust me,in a real tight situation, you can do far worse than having Mormons for neighbors.

My first "list" was the classic mountaineering "Ten Essentials" (actually more like 14 or so items). It is still fairly valid. I like the guidelines here at ETS, of course, or I would hangout somewhere else. I particularly appreciate the rational, generally even handed presentation.
