I put the SHTF bag together a while back and own a Jeep that I've built up to be able to go anywhere, paved or otherwise, that I test all the time for fun by beating the crap out of. But I had been lacking on preps for the house and am getting a small start now.

I ordered one of the Shelf Reliance 55-gallon drum kits with wrench and siphon hose, then ordered some Mountain House #10 cans. One each of the following: beef stroganoff, chicken teriyaki w/ rice, noodles & chicken, lasagna w/ meat sauce, corn, scrambled eggs w/ bacon, and apple dices.

I also added 5 cases of 16-ounce bottled water, flavor packets for them, and a new jar of freeze-dried coffee. I plan on adding another barrel every month or two until I have a 90-day supply for 3 people, and adding to the food a little at a time also.

I'm pretty happy with my start, even though it's kind of small. Just gotta keep at it,
