Prepper Challenge

Challenge, kids:

You have $200 in disposable income to spend any way you like on preparedness items. Any items. Presume you already have a basic amount of food, ammo, firearms, etc.

What do you get, and why?

Buy more ammo.

Unless you have a warehouse full, you can always use more.

Porn...and soda!

Ammo is a pretty good idea. If you pick a common caliber (I'd say .22 LR might be the best bet) you can use it to hunt, defend yourself AND barter just about anything.

Ammo and barter goods. Always be ready to barter for what you need but don't have.

Proven heirloom seeds & .22 ammo.

The why is hopefully obvious.

Seeds, sugar, salt and ammo... and if any money is left COFFEEEEEE :-)

Bandanas. Lots and lots of bandanas. My first (and only) trip out into the field as an aspiring paleontologist years ago, an experienced hand told me to pack a couple of dozen bandanas as I'd find no end of uses for them, and so would my fieldmates. She was dead-on.

And cigars.

Extra medical supplies that you wanted but didn't buy before becase they were too expensive.

A lot of good suggestions here and I go with ammo and meds. Never enough of either and beans can be had with the first!

A camp stove and fuel. Because I don't have one yet. And a bigger cooler so I can store more stuff longer.

Cigars and scotch, because I'm going to need something to entertain myself.
