This list I hope will grow will everyone thinking of things we might need in the near future.
Batteries rechargeable
Rechargeable lights /////led lights
Drills rechargeable 18 vote or bigger and I found the Black and Decker at wall mart works great as you get two batteries with it .
Food for a year or more,, till crops are in. Rice and beans will get you by but you will get tired of it so get things to add to it. if it is something you really like that can be stored (dry type food) get all you need or think you will want.(((( popcorn ????
Everyday things, so when you buy something you use all the time get two or more.
Hand tools,saws, all types you can get a two person wood saw still.(www.harborfreight.com/) ebay
Animals Goats for milk, cheese, butter, meat, donkeys or horses to pull with Chickens,rabbits,cows
Water tanks
Feed for the animals till you can raise some. This time of year I would say a years worth.
Seeds
Wind generators even if you have one and you find one cheep get it. (parts) Also found if you use four 400 in a series and one goes down you still have power. you can set up as many series as you need.
Solar panels all sizes
Fence ( you don't want your garden to go to all the animals around after you work so hard.
Here I hope to get a big diesel tank (500gal. or bigger for red diesel to use for the tractor only) I could make 500 gal go two years or maybe more with my tractor. by that time I would hope for crops to make fuel out of.
Also here need water well casting for wells as I have a deep rock (Mother Earths News)
For you that live in cities check your free sites on the net. You can get a lot of things you will need to live off the grid if you have to. If I live close to a city I could build a big house just out of free stuff I see on the Phoenix or Alb.NM craigslist under free and there are all types of free groups of people who would rather give then throw something away.
Wood stoves to heat with and to cook with.
Come on hit them yard sales and flea markets as you don't have to have everything new.
Yes this sounds like I think things are going to change big time, I hope I am wrong but I feel that it will get real bad for a few years, or longer.
Why would Spirit send me out here to set up this tribe if there wasn't a reason for it.
Things to trade with. barter may end up being the way we live.
Ok this was my two cents worth, see what you can add.
Now also when you post add links where you found the cheapest and best stuff to use off the grid.
Love & hugs

one other thing you might not like to hear is guns. Here I will give anyone food as long as they show they can help here on CTMT but what about the ones who just want to take what we have anyway they can. This can happen and I pray and hope it will not.

Re: List of things to have on hand
Tue, December 16, 2008 - 9:10 PMHere's a list of dried foods that will keep for a while and don't cost much, also easy to prepare:
Flour, Baking Powder, sugar, salt, grits, corn meal, oatmeal,cream of wheat, tapioca, powdered milk, dried beans, rice, couscous, fufu flour (made from yuca &/or plantains, potatoe flakes.
Most important is storage. you need a air tight sealed container for each food item. one small one to hold what you use for every day. and a larger one to hold your main supply. you don't want to be dipping out of the main supply every day, you'll run the risk of getting the food contaminated.
We can probably get a resale license and buy things bulk directly from the producer/ manufactuer and have a bigger savings.
a basic lamp can be run with cotton (like cotton balls strips of any kind of cotton) rolled into a wick and any oil, butter (ghee), or even animal fat. no lamp? you can make a bowl out of dirt and clay, indians call them diyas
there's so much you can make yourself, or find cheap alternatives for. -

Thank you for your reply Indera
Yes these and many more things and if you have a dug out you can store other things, also I use old army ammo box's as most of them are water/air tight. I get one that is about 14" x 16" x15" tall that holds 50lb of beans or a little more rice.
Here I hope to raise our own food once the well is in. I all ready got a calf/goats and donkeys to guard them. The best thing if it is dry and you use it ofter buy more then you use each time you shop or if you have room there is a lot of the extra stuff in jars that you can buy up.
Have a great day all
