It’s tough to have loaded guns in the house at the ready, especially with kids around. With these combination boxes, you can have several. The size of a book, keep one on a bookshelf, another by the bed. No electronics to worry about.
Great hand-crank emergency radio: has an internal battery you can charge. Includes a flashlight, is strong and light weight, you can charge your phone off this for that critical call. It’s small: the size of a few Hershey bars.
I’ve gotten these ammo cans at gun shows, accessory sites, and most recently seen them at Walmart for cheaper, though with no lock. Great for storing ammo and keeping electronics safe from EMP.
Good, inexpensive gas mask for a number of possible scenarios. Worth having a few in storage for when outside tasks require more than one person.
Replacement filter for the gas mask. It’s good to have some spares.
Decent, inexpensive Geiger counter/disometer. Let’s you read your exposure to radiation. Outside the blast radius of a nuclear event, you can survive, but this is essential. For EMP, keep all emergency electronics in a metal ammo can.
Written by the scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, it’s hard to find a better source. Contrary to popular myth, you can survive a nuclear war. To the extent one can prepare, there is some peace of mind to be found.
You need an iodine supplement after a nuclear event to keep your body from up-taking radioactive iodine. Most people are deficient anyway. I’m taking Lugol’s Solution at present (in my coffee), providing iodide as well.
The survival books explain how to purify water, but it will be your most immediate need. This amazing design makes most water sources safe to drink from. Just stick it in a stream or a fountain and suck. Treats up to 200 gallons.
One of today’s greatest issues: the criminalization of health care. There is good reason to doubt every pill they want to shove down your throat. Unfortunately, this is nothing new, but it is well-guarded. Time to expose them.
