ive always thought about, but never really did anything about it. i think in the following months im gonna start, slowly, putting some shit together for a just in case. not a zombie apoc or an end of the world type situation, but more along the lines of realistic threats like weather, power outages, lizard people...
i put a small list together which will start me off. not quite sure of the amounts yet, but this should give you an idea...
Rice Pasta Oatmeal Beans Peanut Butter Salt Spices Olive Oil (not sure why i need it, but i read somewhere that its a must item so...) Sugar Honey Ramen Noodle (more of a filler item...) Water

I've got a little backpack setup. You've got a good start for non-perishable foods, but definitely grab yourself a few space blankets, a little medical kit and an all in one tool. An extra set of clothes is great. They make really cool crank/solar powered radio-flashlight combos. Rope and a towel, some maps. I keep mine on top of my gun rack.
I think they sell pre-made ones on ebay and stuff if you're really lazy, but its kinda fun to put together.
-------------------- Of course it's happening inside your head. Why should that mean it isn't real?

thanks for the tip. those are all great items and are affordable.
i do own a gun, but i like that survival .22. it breaks down and fits into the stock and comes with a compass and has room for other small much needed items.
http://henryrepeating.com/rifle-survival-ar7.cfm this one is a bit expensive and has a small mag, but is still cool.

Prepping is a big reason why I love my chemistry major. Come the apocalypse I will be privy to a lot of knowledge, and knowledge is power. Frankly I need to befriend more engineering majors though.

I was thinking Meth personally.
Meth in a zombie apocalypse cannot be over-rated.

i dunno... not sure how i would react or feel if ive been up for days and then crash. what if you get thrown into a stim psychosis? i would want stims, but im not sure if the positive would out weigh the negative. what about dehydration?

Well I happen to have set up plenty of stills before too. I think it's most important for making sure that people on guard duty stay awake. It isn't about binging, it is about having the means to stim yourself should you have to. Frankly if I have to go hammer time on some zeds i want to be methed out.
Other than setting up a still or stock-piling meth I'm not sure what else I would do. I suppose teach people how to do it?
I'm actually pretty surprised I never actually saw a still in the walking dead.
