Guys, I started to stock up on "heirloom" seeds for vegetables.... Simple things that get over looked, but you may have to grow your own foods. With no seeds, you are going to have to rely on hunting/fishing for your food, which is fine, but your using more ammo. Having a small box of many seed packs, you are sure to supplement some of your intake.
I also have " The Weekender" backpack from LLBean that is my "armageddon" bckpk. Inside, I have decked it out with two basic survival kits. Waterproof topography maps of N.East area for traveling. Compass. Plenty of nylon rope. Literature/charts of local biology/plants and their medical values. A ziplock bag of "strike anywhere" matches individually dipped in wax. A zippo, extra flints, and one bottle of fluid. Tent rolled up. Knifes w sharpening stone. One broken down fishing pole. Extra spool of line. Two ice fishing "tip ups". Hand held small hatchet. Small flat rate box of vegetable heirloom seeds. Water canteens. Pancho. and a few other odds and ends things.... I know it sounds ridiculous, but half the battle is being prepared and having a plan. Me and the Mrs. will be ready at the drop of a hat to get up and go if we need to.
Also, SALT! Read up on how to dry cure meats, and other food that you may have to keep around for a while. With the possibility of no electricity, getting thrifty with your food storage will come in handy. Just some "food" for thought...
