Home Survival Kit

Also called a Pantry Kit, this is your stockpile of stuff to chill at home while trouble blows over - usually a good idea to plan for a week or two. Depending on where you live, this could be your snowed-in supply cache, hurricane holdover, locust layaway, etc. But no matter where you live, it's a good plan to have at least a few days food, water, and other essentials stocked up in the homestead.

Some basic rules of thumb, until we get to the Gear Manifest:
- 1 Gallon of water per day, per person. Don't skimp on the water!
- While a sack of beans is always great, get some no-cook comfort foods as well: beef jerky, canned cooked ravioli (you know the one), anything that your family likes to eat that stays good for years and you don't have to cook. Canned tamales, whatever.
- Booze! You bet. Even if you don't drink, you may have a neighbor or someone who just really needs a glass of wine or shot of Jack to calm the hell down. Gets better with age in most cases, too!
- Full On Medical Kit. These are always smart to have around the house anyways. We'll manifest these out separately, but in a pinch be sure to have space blankets, lots of gauze, medical tape, cold compress, scissors, Ibuprofin, and a crap-ton of assorted bandaids. Good idea to include any special stuff you need like extra athsma inhalers, contact lens stuff, antihistamine like Benadryl, etc.

Again, we'll be doing a more in-depth layout of a good Pantry Kit as soon as we can.
