- Prepping Supplies You Need to Survive the First 2 Weeks of SHTF
What are the prepping items you'll need during the first two weeks of SHTF? This list of preparedness supplies will help you during any emergency.
New preppers are joining the community daily and providing them with some beginner level advice is important. But even some of us more seasoned preppers need a reminder as to what we will actually need versus what we will want. Hopefully this prepping supply list will help anyone who might need it!

I am not saying that this is all you will want for the first two weeks of SHTF but, it is likely all you will NEED which is obviously different. What would you add to this list? Anything I should have left out?

Все вірно! Головне підготуватись морально, психологічно. Це найголовніше! Чогось не буде вистачати, щось взагалі закінчиться або зникне. Тому найголовніше це - ліки, вода та фільтрація, їжа швидкого приготування, засоби гігієни, одяг запасний та взуття (все для холодної і дощової погоди). І важливий захист балістичний і броня. ❤🇺🇦❤️🇺🇸❤️
Everything is correct! The main thing is to prepare morally and psychologically. This is the most important thing! Something will be missing, something will end or disappear altogether. Therefore, the most important things are medicine, water and filtration, fast food, hygiene products, spare clothes and shoes (all for cold and rainy weather). And ballistic protection and armor are important.

My first 2 weeks of food is stored in my belly, hips and thighs. Canned foods start at week 3
You can go that long but after a week you'll get pretty weak & your thought process might not be the best.

@@Darryl-kb5wothe later seasons of Alone contestants would "fatten up" to last longer before the competition started
I recently had heart surgery and was told by my doctors NOT to lift anything over 10 lbs and not to drive for 30 days. My friends and family kept asking..”Do you need anything?” I said you all know I’m a Prepper. I don’t need ANYTHING for the next 30 days. I have water, solar, LP gas and butane stoves, Fans, a small A/C unit, a freezer full of food, instant dry milk, stored can goods and fruits as well as a planted garden and chickens that produce eggs. And as a US Marine Vet, I also have a particular sent of skills and tools, should those be required. Stay prepared and Stay Frosty! Semper Fi.
Radical amigo 😊
Make sure to remain hydrated and not take on any stressful activities
I would add a basic tool kit to your preps.
I think in almost any shtf situation a dog is a great thing.
Even little one's great alarms and always alert and best of all companionship.
Works in reverse also. Domestic animals will alert outsiders that there are people around. Pets will be hunted for food after a very short time of during a SHTF event.
I have 2 dogs.a beagle mix and a border Collie mix.great companionship.and they bark when people come around.
@@Utah_Mikecalm down Mike.
Pets won't be on bbq for a long time
Every house and warehouse is going to be looted before Lassie is served with BBQ sauce
I have thought about having a pack of big dogs like some livestock dog that will destroy our enemies 😂😂😂it would be a huge advantage to have a pack to watch your ass
@@Utah_Mike Anyone hunting my pets will be hunted by me - John Wick style.
A small pair of binoculars seem like a good thing to have on hand… thanks for doing what you do!
I agree.
People should always have one $20, two $10's, two $5's, and five $1's in true "emergency cash" at all times, and it's also a good idea to make it a practice to carry and use at least $50 to $100 of discretionary cash each time that they get paid.
I lived off of Chef Bouardee ravioli when I was a kid. It’s ok now and part of my food storage. Ready to eat right out of the can.
@@DamionJR4923 that's what's great about it. Pop the top and eat.
Hell Yeah!!! I've stocked up on those AND spaghetti & meatballs , beef stew , chili , corned beef hash , roast beef hash & canned meats etc. ALL in cans ready to eat. Pull the lid , put on a fire or eat cold. I also ONLY buy what me or my dogs will eat. Got some cases of MREs too. Lots of canned veggies & fruits etc. Also started getting these cups of Rice of Roni & mashed taters. Anything that all I've GOT TO do is add hot water to. Pretty much anything NOT perishable. AND I'm going to start getting those freeze dried bucket meals as well. I've been stocking up the past couple or so years. I've GOT enough to last a year or more. Ohhh , ohhh chipped beef too. I think you GET the picture...
I’ve eatin so many cans of cold ravioli lol it makes some people gag Lolol
@@chuckfinley3152 Ikr , I WAS homeless for about three years cuz of financial disaster/divorce SO I was living in a tent etc. had cases of that other canned meats etc. GOT burned out on raviolis...
Dinty Moore beef stew is great to eat right out of the can!
I dug a couple ponds to store rain water
Smart
Good.
Great part about having 2 weeks worth is that you can get a good system down and then expand into longer timeframes without it feeling overwhelming. You don't need a years worth of supplies right off the bat. If you start with 2 weeks and slowly expand, you'll get there.
@@Ravespillo 💯
Even if it is just two weeks if in a cold climate you need a way to stay warm in the winter.
Indeed
I hope I'm in a cold climate when shtf.
Most inexpensive car jump packs have USB ports alot of power for a decent price
I believe that a Leatherman tool would be a good thing to have on hand to add wirh what you mentioned.
Thank you! Just occurred to me that having spray bottles my reduce water consumption during the dark times. Peace
@@Saoirse.n.Murphy interesting. Definitely helpful for hygiene and cleaning.
Also garden pump sprayers (never used for chemicals) for shower options.
Lots of off grid people use a pump sprayer for showers cuz u can use exactly what you need to not waste water
Actually, your correct. a good quality spray bottle will make any product last longer and is efficient for many needs. I just got a glass one last month and it has greatly improved my ease of cleaning and i use less product. Whodve guessed?
Two weeks is something most people can do off of what they already have in their home.
Fill your tub and you will have your 28 gallons of water (30-60 gallons for most tubs), most people have more than 28,000 calories sitting in their cabinets in the form of food that they keep pushing back because they don't want to eat it or because they are ingredients that could be eaten in a crisis outside of the foodstuffs they were purchased to make.
Most people have enough clothes and blankets for any amount of cold if you just wear enough layers and if you have shade you can weather most any heat.
If you can crank your car you can sit in heat or AC while charging a phone and listening to the radio for instructions for a window of time each day (idling runs through about half a gallon of remaining gas per hour - more if you are in a bigger vehicle, more if you are cranking the AC - less if you are just listening to the radio and charging your phones). That is all the outside communication you can hope to have.
Most people even have enough books, games, flashlights, candles, and the like to keep you sane for that time.
You can expect that most of your neighbors can also bunker in for two weeks without much issues. It is after then that society will start to get dangerous as people get to their breaking points where they can't keep bunkering in and start wandering out in growing despair (sooner in urban areas and later in rural).
A sleeping bag and blankets are Essential. A tarp or tent may be too.
Yes! If it’s in the winter and the grid is down, might need to create a “nest” to stay warm.
For the algos.
Bless you brother!
Sardines, canned salmon & tuna with rice. The Aroma 4-cup rice cooker only uses about 225 watts although it`s listed as 300. It`s also actually holds only slightly over 1 dry cup & 2 cups water to cook rice...but it can be used with your small 300w solar power stations to cook various foods and boil water.
Great article, as always. The best videos imo are the less sexy, more practical as it offers a plan. By category, hygiene is one of those very often overlooked and underrated. In his 1 year under siege, Selco and his family in Yugoslavia lost 3 relatives, and all were due to hygiene issues. They faced starvation, lack of clean water, and at least 2 group gun battles. Yet hygiene cost 3 lives. Even with a 2 week supply, good hygiene sets a positive inflection point, should the crisis go longer. Sanitation, keeping people out of the kitchen and away from the food, an obsessive designated cook who does not have to pull regular detail if possible, lots of cleaning, bleach, antiseptic ointment, and waste disposal are huge issues and should not be overlooked.
I'm a solid disciple of the Anker power banks. They last!
Most Anker products are solid.
@@PorkyPrepper I've been using this one for years now. Good to go.
Although I like them. I dont put 100% of my trust on any ONE brand... I diversify my backup power like I diversify my ammo, food, and pew pews.
A folding portable 100 watt solar panel with USB charging ports can charge all your devices and directly power a USB fan or a light in a dark room with extension cable. You can also wire up a 12v USB car charger to a real glass solar panel. The USB works fine on cloudy days with a 100w panel/
Having a Jase case saved my life over Memorial weekend! Literally! Cannot express enough how grateful I was to have one, And if you use the medicine within the 365 days of purchase, they will refill the prescription you used to replenish your case for future needs. Very awesome and worth every penny!
@@SaltwaterRebellion that's great to hear!
I could use an emergency supply of blood pressure medication. How many day's supply do they typically prescribe?
@SaltwaterRebellion
Absolutely
💯💯💯
@@TM-ey5py if you have a prescription, I believe they can give you a 12 month supply if I'm not mistaken, but its worth going on their site and looking into. Hope that helps!
Yes but what if you don't use anything for a year? How much would it cost after they expire?
As far as the food category goes and we’re only talking about the first two weeks, I’ll be eating the perishable contents of my freezer and fridge. I’m in a rural area similar to yours and will be cooking indoors so any odors generated shouldn’t be a problem. If SHTF happens in the winter the whole outdoors is a freezer so that won’t be such a priority.
MP: All that looks good. Put in a deck of playing cards! It boosts the spirits have’s something to pass the time by. I understand they make playing cards with survival tips written on them. Read, play cards, do both.
Thanks for the addition!
REALLY??? Well that's cool as fuck. WHERE I GET those???
It's called SHTF....as in disaster, as in things are falling apart, as in very high likelihood of VIOLENCE starting at day 5 from those not prepped

one thing I remember that helped us during the earthquake.... a clean watertight trashcan or large container. Use it for collecting water that can be used to bath and wash dishes and clothing.

My list of must haves: plenty of stored drinking water, Mt. House instant meals, dried ramen noodles, instant rice, instant oatmeal, powdered or shelf stable milk, dehydrated fruit and vegetables, small cans of meat or pouches of freeze-dried meat, instant coffee and multivitamins. Would also want a homemade composting toilet (in case tap water stopped flowing), boxes of facial tissues (can use as toilet paper), a charged fire extinguished near each exit door, 1 or 2 one-burner butane stoves, extra batteries for smoke detectors and CO alarms, butane fuel cylinders, solar charged lanterns, two solar charged emergency radios, butane lighters and large jar candles. I would want an assortment of nonprescription meds and herbal remedies (for aches and pains, coughing, indigestion, fever, constipation, diarrhea, anxiety and poor sleep), gauze pads and surgical tape, povidone-iodine solution (for cleaning wounds), a set of N-95 face masks to help filter smoke and asbestos dust and clear googles (to protect eyes if walking outdoors at night or to protect from windblown dust and grit). I would want a bottle of original Dawn dishwashing detergent (all-purpose cleaner, can be used as body wash and shampoo), bleach tablets, anti-viral wipes, baby wipes and lawn trash bags. Also, would want various kinds of non-electric forms of entertainment for children, teens and adults (real paper book, coloring books, art supplies; I have a portable DVD player, many DVD movies and a Jackery set-up to charge the DVD player). Would want some extra pet food and other pet supplies such as kitty litter, chew toys and treats if I had pets. Would want several small, portable, solar charged power banks for recharging smart phones. Would also want extra ammo, extra gun cleaning supplies and extra materials for sharpening edged weapons. Would want some shelf stable junk food for morale (carbonated beverages, chewing gum, candy, trail bars, cookies, pretzels, tortilla chips...).
got all of that plus a deep well and draw buckets, a river full of fish behind the place a garden and EMP proof diesel tractors, security is my major priority now.
Awesome list 👏🏽
Im working my way through it slowly :) most of the way there !
Wish me luck 😅
I also try to "keep a little ahead of" my "bare-bones NEED" for all sizes of "Ziploc bags" (of the highest quality); bearing in mind; how much of my former property got destroyed by Firemen's efforts at extinguishing a house fire... Anything "of value" that REALLY DOESN'T "want to be wet"; OUGHT to be protected from moisture.
Indeed.
Gasoline: Never drive home with less than 1/2 a tank. Keep enough filled jerry cans in your garage or shed or whatever to completely fill the tank of your primary escape vehicle. Know exactly how far your vehicle will travel on a single tank of gasoline. That way, you will know how far you can get away before you are forced to stop for gasoline. I've lived though multiple hurricane landfalls where power wasn't available to gas stations for a week. If you drive a gas car, get a gas generatorl if you drive diesel, get a diesel generator.
Third thing you need is a Classic Nintendo with Super Mario Bros and Contra! Up up down down left right left right AB AB Start!
I've got that 😂
Tecmo bowl as well.
Water, Part II: Get familiar with sawdust composting toilets. Flush toilets waste an incredible amount of drinkable water. Get a few 5-gallon buckets, a couple of Luggable Loo seat tops, and as much raw sawdust as you can store. Build a compost pile.
Given the amount of heat that can build up in a car in the summer, especially on the dashboard in the sun, canned food will heat up enough to eat comfortably. Better than ambient temperature inside the house.
Good info!
Food and water is absolutely the most important supply. My children love the Bush's baked beans and corned beef hash, so you can believe me when I say that is a lot of what I get.
@nicks2581 that corned beef hash has a lot of fat too!
Great video.
Preparation in depth...
Have a PACE plan for every thing: food, water, communications, defense, meeting up with disparately located family members, etc...
As a personal example, this is my PACE plan for potable water...
Primary: Well (electric with back-up generator)
Alternate: Hand-pump well
Contingency: Bottled water sufficient for two people for min two weeks
Emergency: Rainwater collection and multiple purification devices / methods.
This worked for me after a hurricane in coastal Virginia when the power was down for just over 30 days in my area.
Thanks for the idea and example
WE LIVED THRU Hurricane Irma in 2017 in Florida. Electricity was out in our area for 8 days - no water, no food (stores were closed), no A/C, no ceiling fans, no stove or microwave, no flushing toilets. Afterward, we invested in an emergency generator AND a TRANSFER SWITCH to run our water well, refrigerator & freezer, clothes washer, microwave, house lights, TV, and ceiling fans. Only drawback is the generator runs on gasoline - so we're looking into an adapter for propane instead.
Have you thought about a hand well?
You need a way to boil water. Check out the bio lite camp stove. It lets you use small sticks to make a fire. And use the from the fire charge electronics!
Hey kids, you might wanna have a good knife
This is one of the most overlooked tools ever. 👍
Have a lot of knives, then stash some railroad (can be hammered into tools if needed, but are cheap and easy to store).
But we all have a knife in our kitchen? 😆
Morakniv knives are high quality and inexpensive. For a folding knife I'll recommend a Cold Steel Recon 1
Then there's knowing how to properly sharpen a knife.
@@MB-jg4tr yeah, but most peoples kitchen knifes are garbage.
@@nicks2581the 😆 was too hard for you to understand?
@@MB-jg4tr 🤣 yes! 4 double IPAs after months of no alcohol = 😵💫
For those low on space, yes water on hand is important, but at the least, some form purification and container, especially if bugging out is a possibility. I would add a headlamp, either rechargeable or rechargeable batteries, working in the dark often requires both hands. The most important, is at minimum, a very loose plan/understanding amongst family in the home. No cooking foods that are aromatic after a couple days, power consumption restrictions, plans for shopping/travel etc. Even members that think it's dumb (usually kids), will retain the basics.
Baby Wipes and Witch Hazel are also good "items" to include in a "Toiletries Kit"; as well!
Costco has 5 gallon gas cans for $18 right now.
Nice
Remember to use the expensive unleaded gas for long term storage, and to add STA-BIL it in appropriate amounts, should extend the life expectancy for the gas to at least 2-ish years depending on storage conditions ⛽️
For those that may have space constraints when it comes to storing water, I have an alternate idea. Its relatively cheap and saves a ton of space so long as you have the room for a 5 gallon bucket. Buy a Sawyer mini water filter and find the nearest lake/river/stream and filter your water into the bucket. Yeah it takes some physical work but its a sure fire way to secure water in a situation where you may have to go without.
Ravioli for the win!!!!👍
@davidbaize4825 all day everyday
I'm addicted to water filters!!!
Could be worse.
I always know when I’ve spent way too much time in the Philippines visiting my wife’s side of the family.
I start wondering if my life straw would work on open water sources (river and canals).
Then I remember what goes into the river from Olongapo City.
The sailors and Marines called it “sh!t River”.
Sawyer Squeeze is the best low cost filter. Better flow and won't clog as easily as the Mini. Ditch the bags it comes with though and use a liter smart water bottle
@@Odd_Interaction don't use life straw for that. You'll need a better filter
@@surfingtothestars even then I would have my doubts.
Four 33 gallon plastic trash cans of water should be enough to last 2 weeks. You use more water than you think. You can refill them by catching rain water off your roof.
One important aspect of having "X-number of weeks worth" of basic necessities "set aside"; is to remain mindful of whatever products you feel to BE actual NECESSITIES, will sometimes have "Expiration Dates" and BE "rotating your stock"; continuously using the oldest products FIRST!
Good point
@Able-Man I just went through my pantry and if something was going to expire in the next month that I didn't plan on eating went to the food bank
hopefully there is relief after the 2 weeks. I remember the laast time I was told 2 weeks would be enough, and it stretched to almost 2 years. (CV19)
I'm a 3 time cancer survivor, and besides the normal prepping stuff, I also stock up on my medical cannabis.
I have 2+ weeks of food and water stored. My granddaughter had a baby 3 months ago and she has been buying water for the formula since that's what most Dr's recommend anymore. I take the water jugs and refill them with well water and add that to the storage. The baby has been having a issue with the simalic formula so we've been buying Enfamil. I told her to go ahead and put the simalic away in storage. If all hell breaks loose it might be better than nothing. We've been buying and storing back extra but who knows the time line. We bought cloth diapers for emergency times and I been putting back extra of the throw aways.
It's important to remember the little ones and the elderly and disabled.
Excellent work on the cloth diapers. Good stuff!
Be careful on brand of bottled water...it ain't all pure....pathetic but true. There are recipes out there to make ur own formula also if need be, and usually healthier than formula. More work tho, but it's a backup for when it may not be available
@@laurenc9857 thank you. We're not afraid of extra work. My granddaughter wanted to breast feed but she couldn't produce more than an ounce and a half a day. She sat and cried and said if it wasn't for this poison my baby would starve. I told her it runs in our genes.
@@laurenc9857 we're trying to find someone who has a goat local that will sell some of the milk. We have found a farmer who sells cows milk. It's legal to sell and use raw milk in our area.
@grannygrump7425 aww bless her heart. There are situations where breastfeeding doesn't work and I hate it for her. It's rough the first few weeks . There are supplements, etc to help produce more milk, but I'm sure she tried. I was told to keep the baby on and keep switching sides and ur body will figure it out and catch up. One fix doesn't work for everyone. You do what you have to! Will pray things go well for you guys!
My wellness/holistic doc only drinks LeBleu water (more expensive of course) it's an NC company so idk if avail everywhere....home filters are expensive too...🙄
The Ecoflow Solar Power bank is an excellent idea for the power recliner chair. It will also power the Audiophile Hi Fi and the electric throw blanket. Get some decent Port wine as well when listening to the Hi Fi with a Little Dot Mk2 Headphone amplifier (I use Russian Military Spec tubes). For a Prepper Radio, an old Pioneer F-445L FM/AM separates radio for 10W power use.
An HD projector will also use much less power than a Television. They are relatively cheap as well now for the Blueray player. Off Grid Cinema!
If you cook rice or beans the water that is used is part of drinking water too.
This list is a great starting point but you need to add an alternative cooking source... In a natural disaster situation you may not be able to use your stove or your cooking source in your home
My personal shtf was 2 years ago. I am an arborist and got my ankle crushed by a machine and have been unable to work for 2 years now. I get paid so that wasn't the issue. I'm single and live alone and was completely unable to get out of bed or do anything so i had to have people come over and stack a bunch of food on my bed and put the microwave next to it so i can eat. I have never been so constantly hungry in my life. I got to the point where I wasn't able to eat anything and started puking from it. Its been a nightmare and I am almost thru this shit but if i didn't have a bunch of canned food and water on hand i would have starved to death😢. Being alone is a huge weakness. Family is the best prep possible
Good deal MP! I think I can make it for 3 months depending on how many senior neighbors show up
Cash may or may not get you access to supplies/food. Case in point - serveral times in the last year our local Walmart has been without power, and NO purchases were permitted because the registers were down (well, that and they probably don't have anyone who could even manually add up purchases and count back change).
Fun fact, if you take what you need and just Leave Cash it's not stealing. Sure it's against store policy, but it's not theft. Make sure you leave enough to account for tax, error on the side of caution
@glyphicent it may or may not I agree. But it gives you another option.
Awesome channel.
Do a SHTF video about pools (h20) & their advantages.
@@H20Spy I'll consider it. Thank you!
Excellent source of stored water many may overlook
This is a great topic since tons and tons of neighbors have pools.. please do a video soon since water is the number 1 resource on the list. God Bless
@@MagicPrepper Dont forget the aspect of securing that resource from non-preppers. You might even include the ability to divert h20 from rooftops to replenish the level. Last but not least, have ceramic gravity filters on hand.
If this does happen, there is no reason why you should be drinking as much water, eating as much food, showering as often... As when everything was going steady. If your diet was 2800 calories, try 1800 for a change. Shower ever four days or less. Drink less water. Conserve what you have.
Cash will always have value because that’s what people are used to. Those who say otherwise don’t understand what’s going on
@Joe_Brown99
History would say different. Jus sayin
Pretty much every country that used fiat currency has had the value of their money go to zero. What you might not fully understand is the financial system already collapsed. The only thing holding it together is a bit of confidence in the system. That’s dwindling fast. Soon people will realize this. The dollar will be accepted after that for a very short while then dollar bills will be blowing around in the streets. I know people that lived in Venezuela several years ago. Also talked to older relatives that lived through the depression in Europe.
@@MaritimeHomesteader
Yet here you are saying two different things and solidifying my position so … there’s that
@@Joe_Brown99 no I’m not saying two different things. I said the system already collapsed in actuality but the powers that be have injected billions into the system to keep it going. Confidence is the only thing sort of holding it together in the short term. It will soon collapse (as far as the sheeple are concerned) and then cash will have a week or two maybe of still being “accepted” then it’s over.
A great list Magic.... thanks for sharing. Cheers from Alberta!
Thank you Magic !!!
Thanks for getting to the basics of preparedness. Well done, Sir! Thank you!
Great ideas for the beginning preppers. Thanks MP! 👍
Thanks Magic!!
Great and simple way to look at things!
What people don’t understand is defense is going to be paramount because supplies won’t be available which means everyone will be coming for yours. Can you defend your house, family, and supplies?
Second thing you need is Freeze Dried Candy
Be cautious with hard candy though, it's made if nearly all sugar and will rot.
Non freeze dried candy wouldn’t expire for years anyway 😅
Solid knowledge transfer brother...
Great info as always Mr M.P.
We appreciate this channel very much ✔
@@auntbarbara5576 thank you!
A Fire Extinguisher is always good to have. Also have several of those protective gloves in such times it will prevent scratches cuts etc when out and about having to unexpectedly lift or move things work on machinery even picking up rubish on your way out of town city etc
TH-cam doesnt have your videos pop up anymore. I always have to go looking for them.
@@Palmtreepeace 😞
A few years ago I did a little experiment trying to get by on one gallon of water for three days. I had plenty to drink but at the end of 3 days, I had a lot of cleanup to do that I couldn't do on a measly one gallon of water per day. There were toilets to be flushed, laundry to be cleaned, dishes to be washed, showers to be taken, etc. I agree with you that two gallons per day is a bare minimum (unless you don't mind living like a caveman).
A way to stay warm can be very important depending on your location
SHTF currently going on in Northern California due to heat and dry conditions. Power outages possible. Apparently normal during fire season.
Don't forget the cheap bartering goods you can get at the dollar store now. Just as good as cash in many situations sometimes better. That was a great vid you did a few weeks ago, MP. I'm slowly accumulating all the little things with spare change anytime I can.
I agree
THKS
You’ll need a DELTA PRO 3 and at least a couple things from Midway USA.
Add a couple cheap fire extinguishers. Keep one at home and one in your vehicle. Just in case
Great overview.
Great video as always 💯
@@tractormanx5954 thank you!
Speaking of food, one can check out couscous, as you can cook it just like ramen by pouring in boiling water, which makes it easy and fast to prepare in comparison to other standard dry goods like rice and beans.
Good list
Great video.
Thank you
A gallon per day accounts for drinking, cooking and hygiene. With that said I plan 2 gallons a week day because we’d like to have extra in case of spilling, contamination, or a neighbor in need.
I have the instant coffee slender packets. For me, coffee is a comfort thing. I found, at my local Asian grocery store, the instant coffee that already has sugar and creamer. Very awesome add to my "0h sh1t" stores.
Beef Ravioli is my favorite!
As a Comm radio alternative, TIDRADIO makes a TD H3 thats also HAM and GMRS for $29.99 each.
Sometimes you can even find unissued police trade ins. I picked up a M&p 45 used unfired. Great deal.
the only other thing i might add under needs is tied into shelter. depending on your location and season you might NEED things like a way to heat your home, or clothing to keep warm etc. otherwise this is a great starter list
You should get, while you still can, a radiation detector for area and dose rate monitoring. Something with a Geiger-Muller tube that can determine if water or food is contaminated. Make sure you have some means of recharging it. Get a base line of what is normal so you don't freak out when you find out the respirator filters always become little hot, sea shore activity is always greater background than inland and used vacuum bags are always screaming.
I love the idea of "you need a gallon of water a day to live", and i know this is the common consensus, however i do not EVER drink a gallon of fluids a day, let alone water... Typically most of my fluids are coffee 😅 (i know not good blah blah) and ill go days sometimes without having any "straight water". And no i don't pee apple juice or get UTI's lol

Hey Magic Prepper,
With recent events and personally experiencing a natural disaster (i.e. a flood) can you go through some suggestions for people on what they should prep when they must leave quickly. We saw a flood destroy my town of Spencer, IA and luckily many lives were saved but the problem many people encountered was not having stuff ready at a moments notice like a go bag or emergency prep items they could take in a hurry to their relocation centers. Just a thought I had being so recent and many Midwesterners are experiencing.
Good topic , thanks for sharing YAH bless !

Peak refuel is actually really good. I eat it alot.
I would say add a gas mask since air is even more important than water, perhaps in a very rural setting it may not be as necessary as in urban settings but is pretty important to me lol.
Olight is coming out with a new tower ( AA ana a AAA version) that holds, sorts and recharges batteries.
For power, I think you're really missing a trick if you don't have an inverter for your vehicle as part of your plan. I have a Renogy 700w unit, which is a real 700w, and it will run my refrigerator or freezer (one at a time, of course), and even has enough guts to run my Kurig. They regularly go on sale for around a c-note. Well worth it, IMO.
Location and time of year is a consideration. If you're going to be outside in most parts of CONUS during the Spring and Summer, DEET is a necessity. Believe me, nobody wants something like Lyme's disease during a period of extreme disruption. I'm still dealing with the consequences from a tick bite 25 years ago. Also, I don't know if Tamiflu is in the Jase Case kit, but it should be......triple antibiotic ointment, also.
I have proof of ownership of my property........."GET OFF MY LAWN"!!😂
