alt Hacker NewsLOL sorry, here's the list:
Generator 5kw - you want something with a higher duty cycle than you need so it can run for extended periods
Diesel storage for back of a truck - 330 Gallon (nice to have, after a week or two supply lines got fixed)
Diesel - for said tank
Medical supplies - IFAK kit (NAR is a good vendor). Bleeding control & dexamethasone.
Solar power - 1-5kwh. We still get 10-15 hrs a day on the grid, but this would be ideal.
Batteries - minimum 5+kwh storage
Network cable - 300m+ to start. I'm shocked how many times I need a cable and cant get any.
Hand pumps or small electric pump for different fuels and water
Ice auger - gas, but electric ideally, large / long drill bit 2" works too if you have a drill and smaller pipes?
Take a first aid course - MARCH protocol
Iodine pills not important - way bigger issues if you're resorting to that.
Get a rifle - not good for military but useful against looters and other unarmed crazy people
Get familiar with remote detonation with drones, these are what we use to set off the molotovs: <https://www.amazon.co.uk/100-30cm-Electric-Fireworks-Igniter...>

If you have a solar panels, a battery, and generator, it would be good idea to figure out how to hook them all together. Using the generator near its full output, to charge the battery, will use far less fuel than idling it all day.
Even if things are bad enough for iodine pills, they are only really needed for children. Once you hit your mid teens, your thyroid is fully developed and not pulling in enough iodine to worry about radioactive isotopes.
I was thinking the other day that ALL drones SHOULD be considered LIVE explosives. It's probably never a good idea to handle one if you're not trained.
is the last point correct? "Get familiar with remote detonation with drones, these are what we use to set off the molotovs:" seems off for this list, like way off and more on military/offence side of type of thing?
and why would you need a 300m+ ethernet cable in a disaster?

If you’re going to do that, become proficient with said rifle.
