Hello from Florida!

This is my first post! I'm currently a "wannabe" survivalist. I have some camping gear, some veggie gardening skills, a few old guns, and a cluttered pantry, which we could live on for maybe a week if we were lucky.

I think I've finally watched enough shows and read enough books on enough "doomsday scenarios" that I'm scared into making some progress on our family's preparedness.

We are in the process of purchasing 40 mostly wooded acres in north Florida as an investment/camping spot, but it has great potential as a BOL.

I made a quick list/brain dump (in no particular order) of what I would like to have in order to feel "ready for anything"...comments/suggestions are welcome!

Ham radio (equipment & knowledge)
Fire extinguishers
Long-term food storage (1-2 years worth)
Canned food storage (3-6 months worth)
Garden supplies (heirloom seeds, equipment, irrigation plan)
Cooking fuel and/or solar oven
Water
