  • Iodine, just in case of radiation and whatnot. If the boogaloo hits and the nuclear reactors stop being properly maintained (even the decommissioned ones), iodine can save your life.

  • Bulk quantities of foods that store well, such as rice, beans, oats, dried fruits/meats, etc. It will be great in the short term when shit hits the fan.

  • Blankets/towels

For other survival thinking, some basics:

  • Get some seeds, learn basic gardening for your area

  • Get a good bushcraft knife and learn how to make a fire.

  • Have some method to filter or distill water

Iodine sounds like a good one and would be nearly impossible to get a hold of if a real disaster hit. But be sure to look into what you're buying. The usual dietary supplements don't contain nearly enough to be meaningful. One bottle of those will last about one day.

Yeah for sure. I keep a concentrated nascent iodine around that would work well for radiation and probably wound treatment. It doesn't take up much space and is far more portable than bulk tablets
