Default Preparing For Post Apocalyptic Earth/Emergencies

Okay, I'm going to sound like one of those prepping nuts but I actually have decided to build a stock of food, medical supplies and water in case of natural disaster or war. I have been through serious earthquakes and was not prepared for it at the time. I don't believe it's not worth having a stockpile of goods for emergencies, especially for things like power outages. I'm interested to see what you guys think and if anyone else has considered doing the same.

A good list of what you can get:

Preppers aren't nuts. They're smart.

I have a gun in my stockpile, then I won't have to worry about supplies when chaos strikes.

****. I should probably buy some ammo.

When I'm out on my own I'll probably have a stock of food and a gun.

About 30 days worth of food and fresh water for 3 people.
Lots of hurricane candles and matches.
Plenty of paper products.
Tons of lightly bleached water for cleaning up.
Handgun and more than enough ammo.
First Aid kit.
Heavy duty gloves and an axe.
Flashlight, transistor radio, and lots of batteries.
An acoustic guitar.

It certainly makes sense to have a kit in New Zealand or California. My dad keeps a well-stocked emergency kit in his car at all times. Winter driving up here can get crazy sometimes.

Here in Japan, you'd have to be an idiot not to have food, water, etc for an emergency.

Good idea. Then you'll have three times as much food after you shoot your family.

I live in a civilised country, no need to stockpile.
