Thanks to TreeDoc for bringing this up again.
Am still eating up my Y2K stash so am set for a year or so

Seriously though, I was going to do this about a week ago but never got to it.
I'll add to the topic by mentioning we have been keeping supplies in the bunker for Winter power loss. Our hill always seems to have that trouble a few times during the Winter months.
We're using some hard containers and Cabela's bags to store our gear. If vehicles are working and you can travel, any of it can be put in the Trailblazer. If not, we'll have a seperate way of traveling on foot with minimum supplies for a few days.
It's a bit on the cheap side but this radio does work well and we'll be adding it to our list: http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/te...h-results1.jsp
A water filter is also on the list which will help to minimize the weight of extra water. Similiar to this one:

We have Lodge cast iron (plenty of hardwood for coals) and coleman type stoves. We have 3 gals of coleman fuel at any one time stored away from the house in an outbuilding.
Hate to think about it but MRE's are about the best (?) for packing the most amount of nutrition in the smallest space.
I'll post more about our specific list later on. Both for home and for bugging-out.
