*****Survival Kit/Supplies*****

Not to post a paranoia thread, but the thought of a recession/depression in the US got me thinking, that it may be a good idea to start stockpiling some stuff and be prepared for the worst.
So, if you want, feel free to post what you would have in your survival kit in case of a disaster. I personally am worried about medications, specifically for my girlfriend. She is epileptic, and I am not sure how to deal with a disaster of some sort that would inhibit us from getting her meds.
Anyways, I was hoping to just make this a compilation thread of people's smart ideas about survival, so lets get it going!

a decent high power rifle that can be used for hunting and self defense. if your not comfortable with the idea of using a rifle for self defense then you can also keep a pistol for such occasions.

im not prepared because of the economy, im prepared simply because you never know when you may need to know how to live off of the land. natural disasters, world war, famine, epidemics. you never know. i take pride in the fact that i could live indefinately in the wilderness if i HAD to. and i just plain love guns theyre fun.

ok in the event of a US recession/depression store your money in foreign funds.. even if the value of the US dollar significantly decreases, you can still have stored wealth in the form of foreign currency.
makes sense in my head.
what do you mean thought of a recession? as far as i'm concerned we've been in a recession.
wish afoaf was here.. that george clooney lover would probably understand where i'm comin from..
why do you get the feeling that there would/could be a depression syle??

if you want ti live through a depression, liquidate and buy gold or land, if you want to survive a civil uprising or a complete collapse of the US infrastructure, invest in a horse, guns, ammo, tobacco and liquor

Cookie dough.
And a snow globe. There's nothing particularly useful about the snow globe, I just like looking at them.
