    Hey guys,

    I am doing some research on puting together a survival kit. If anybody has any good websites to buy stuff from or recomendations on MRE's, Survival Kits, etc that you have personal experience with I would greatly appreciate it.

    So far the list includes:
    -Ammo
    -Guns
    -Water
    -Cash
    -Emergency Kit
    -MRE's

    Thanks!
    ~Slim

    I like that "Emergency Kit" is part of the list of what's in your Emergency Kit.

    Para cord and fire lots of fire. tampons can be more valuable than cash sometimes, they have multiple uses, one - for your chick, two - trade for goods or things from someone who doesnt have any for their chick, three - they make a great clot for a bullet wound or other similar wound
