Hi Mark,

I've got enough supplies for about 6 weeks as it stands.

If you think there might be a chance for barter, I would recommend stocking up on:

rubbing alcohol
hydrogen peroxide
batteries
benadryl
cigarettes
booze (personally loathe the stuff so wouldn't do that one)
.22LR, 9mm. .223 ammunition (.22 would be a staple)

If you can get your hands on antibiotics and pharmaceuticals you might also have some bargaining power.

If it gets really bad I don't figure to "survive," but what little I do have will give me some leeway once we see what change the day itself (0.0.00) actually brings about.

I'm of the mind that if there is a 5% systems failure it will result in the death of 90% or more of the population.

The truth is, no one really knows what is going to happen, except of course the Lord. Show me a prophet with a 100% track record and maybe I'll listen. Everything else is simply speculation.

FWIW
Andy
