Don't put too much stock in "stuff". Develop skills and a plan. Remember, if you don't have anyplace to go to, you are a refugee. Get the basic weapons you need and plenty of ammo. You can't eat either of those so get a food plan together. Live in the city? You better have a country relative that will take you in. You won't survive long on handouts and charity. You won't live long on looting. The "head for the hills" folks that are going to live off the land when they get there will be fodder for the golden hordes. Don't wait any longer to get prepared. Start right now. Buy some extra canned goods, go to the range with your family. Buy a home in the country. If you don't do it for yourself, nobody else will do it for you.
