What is the one “prepper” item you will go buy soon?

[TXBRASS]

Tons of lessons learned the last few days. Many “I should have got one” thoughts have went through all our minds I’m sure. What’s the one thing that you will for sure go buy as soon as possible now to have for “next time” ???

I'll also add 1kw of solar panels for summertime back up

And I need a sterile 275 gallon ibc tote for washing water.
I have a few of them on the property now but they are all for garden irrigation so I don't really care if they get bugs in them

And more propane tanks
Couple more 100lbs and maybe five more 20lbs

[J-5]

A second generator(already ordered a dual fuel). One generator specifically for the well and a bigger electric heater for the house. And a window unit for the summer.

[Playa]

Generator with interlock system
Kettle for French press coffee
Propane and propane accessories
Solid sleeping bags for the family
A few lanterns and plenty of 1lb propane bottles. I grabbed a pair early last week, but shelves were empty by Friday

[Trumpkin]

I think I'll set up my next garden with hoops so I don't lose everything I planted... The tarps aren't going to hack it.

Maybe more frozen veggies in the freezer to go with the meat? Generator might be nice, I guess. but I need that more for summertime power problems.

Same here. I have a Lincoln 200 welding machine. Need to have it ready to go when the power goes out.

Adaptor so I can use 20lb propane bottles for coleman stove.

If one has a generator and ammo are they considered a 'double hoarder'? Be prepared sure make life less complicated.

It don't matter. If I need somethin I go get it regardless of the weather. Unless there's 2 foot of it there's no reason to just stay inside.

Yep, that’s on my list. Useful not only during blackouts but sure would be nice for that small catalytic heater.

I had one and can’t find the thing to save my life now. It just disappeared. So a new percolator is first on my list.

Nothing. We’ve been quite comfortable.

Just saw a post about that and sure would be a good idea. My generator switch was installed in the far opposite corner so need to redo my panel for that to work

Do you mean available or literally on hand? 🤣

What amount do you usually use on your hand? What are you going to increase too? Asking for a friend.

For those wanting a decent cup of coffee either at camp or when we have the next Fromageddon, the above coffee packs are more than sufficient.
I stumbled upon these while on a biz trip to Denver last week and they are GREAT!!!
I bought a couple boxes for my land and I should have bought more because I'm already using them at my house (Third Gen is closed) .

Its more expensive than percolator coffee but in my opinion much more convenient and much better tasting (than I could make)

My old timer neighbor at my land called and asked if I could bring him some 22LR
Now I'll be scrambling to find a bucket for less than $200

Black prepper. We just ran out

[Landrover]

Nothing really, we are not missing a beat.
I may learn more about a well for my pool filling, yard sprinklers and if we loose water during bad weather. Some of my neighbors have them.

A couple of Buddy heaters and hoses.

[Razorback01]

Diesel anti-gel, I think we have everything else.

[sasqy]

More Vodka !
You know just in case. That’s how the Russians stay warm.

[Gladesgator]

Doing good, so far with supplies and no water issues. I keep a good supply of most things here at the ranch as its a ways to the store.

Hot water, stove and fireplaces on propane. Whole house generator on propane.
Keep the tank topped off, have diesel tank for tractor which I parked by the shop, so could thaw it out with the diesel shop heater. Using it to dump 200-300# corn piles for the deer later this afternoon.

And, have a little ammo on hand.

[Antlers86]

More firewood that’s split and dried! Good for now but getting very close to the end.

A cord was not enough!

[asu-indian]

More firewood.

Whiskey distillery

[curtintex]

I’ve never considered myself a prepper, but there isn’t one thing that I’ve needed or would need that I don’t have somewhere.

I have a 15kw gen if power is ever lost.
I keep 20 gallons of gas at the house and 100 at the farm. 20,000 gal of diesel at shop.
I have about 2 cords of firewood cut.
40,000 gal of water in my pool.
Four freezers full of meat and vegetables.
250gal propane stays topped off.
I have an outdoor kitchen that runs on propane.
Have a Percolator.

I don’t even consider myself “prepared”, I just have so much **** that eventually every possibility is covered.

High quality space heater. The ones i have are not sufficient in these temps with no power. A lot more firewood. Down to about two days worth. A bag of rock salt would be nice so i don’t bust my butt on the steps. I would have been fine had they not left us with no power for so long. Once the pipes froze there was nothing i could do.
