3 months Water storage. .22lr handgun, .22lr rifle, 3 months food, bbq grill, briquettes, small solar generator, knife, matches, ammo, metal pot, $10 worth of corn/squash/bean seeds, bicycle, backpack, shovel, wood, anything else needed to "prep"? A TEOTWAWKI scenario is slim to none, so you don't want to spend too much money and you don't want to buy anything that you don't use in normal everyday life.

Watched preppers on tv and thought that those guys had a good idea, but were just a bit overboard for a very unlikely scenario. we all "prep" by carrying a spare tire, but it would be folly to bring 4 spare tires every time we drive a car.

did i miss anything or should i leave out anything for a minimalist prep kit?

Something a little larger than a .22. I'm not sure they're rated for quick elimination of the "charcoal briquette" stealing Zombies!

Seriously, I like your simplified approach and short list of items. Only thing I'd add would be a propane grill or burner (and approx. 3 bottles) to make coffee or heat soups a little more efficiently.

Just my .02

A first aid kit.

Dear lord, don't get him started on that again.

A couple dozen acres far from large urban areas.
