Complete overkill. YAGNI. A month or two of food and medicine is just about all you&#x27;ll need. Dude is acting like he&#x27;s going to be homeless, society will evaporate, and be scrounging for water from mud puddles like some episode of The Walking Dead. I live in Paradise and deal with fires, black bears, drug-addict trespassers, insurance companies and power outages. This story&#x27;s level of insanity is a waste of money and unrealistic. I have a SHTF bag, but it&#x27;s only for when I don&#x27;t know where I&#x27;ll end up.. and haven&#x27;t needed it yet. And, a lot of that prepper stuff is junk: I tried a Survivor Filter Pro and it fouls the filter into uselessness with any brackishness or sediment; it&#x27;s totally worthless.<p>And you can still go out if you:<p>- wear indirect vented goggles (eye protection)<p>- an N95 mask (disregard the CDC manipulative lies)<p>- use 70% hand sanitizer, 1% bleach, or 0.5% hydrogen peroxide per WHO for cleaning surfaces<p>- wash your hands thoroughly for 20+ seconds, and nails too<p>- decontaminate&#x2F;remove yourself, your clothing and PPE outdoors before entering your or someone&#x27;s home.. removing clothing straight into a washing machine without entering living areas is a good idea<p>Also, the latest is that SARS-CoV-2 can survive up to 9 days on fomites (objects), so surfaces will stay contaminated for sometime.
