Expect to spend at least the same amount per month as your monthly food bill X 2 (at several thousand dollars) since you need to buy lots of 5 gallon [[food-grade]] buckets with color coded screw-on Gamma Lids and 55 gallon blue water barrels (see Emergency Essentials<ref>Emergency Essentials, [[Utah]], http://BePrepared.com) along with Country Living [[grain mill]]-grinder, bread maker, [[food dehydrator]], [[canning|canning supplies]], 1 quart [[Mason jar]]s, 2 [[camp stove]]s and lots of [[propane]] tanks, etc.<ref>http://www.survivalblog.com/2013/02/economics-and-investing-1450.html Accessed December 10, 2014</ref>

===Water Storage===
[[Water]] is generally ready to be stored directly from the tap, [[rain]], or a [[water well]]. Large, [[food-grade]] containers are best for this. A [[pond]], [[lake]], [[spring]], [[creek]] or other natural water source can go a long way towards providing long-term water [[security]], but a [[water filter]] will likely be necessary for most natural sources. Store 2 to 3 months of [[water storage]] in blue food-grade [[55 gallon drum]]s with a [[Big Berkey]] [[water filter]] and replacement water filter inserts.

== 2. Defense and Security ("Bullets")==
This means invest in, support, protect and defend the [[Second Amendment]], your [[family]], your [[liberty]].
''Read the main [[Home security]] or [[Firearm]] articles''
The term "bullets" is often used to describe the ability to defend one's self or loved ones, usually with [[firearms]] and sufficient stored [[ammunition]]. Other [[home security]] measures should also be considered.
[[Liberals]] and [[socialist]]s support "common sense" measures - a "good first step" of the [[Police state|Nanny State]]. To a [[citizen]]-[[prepper]]-[[patriot]] and to the [[Bill of Rights]], this is "[[incrementalism|death by a thousand paper cuts]]". This video shows why you should invest in firarms and invest in ammunition.
This [[Second Amendment Foundation]] video is the formal response to [[Hollywood values|Hollywood]]'s [[Demand a Plan]] [[gun control|gun-grabbing]] [[propaganda]] video. The video shows one of the main differences between [[liberal]] [[gun control]] [[Nanny state]]s ([[Blue states]]) and [[conservative]] and/or [[libertarian]] [[Second Amendment]]-supporting "[[free state]]s" ([[Red states]]). This video shows why we [[vote with our feet]]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBelF4UddcY
There are many different types of firearms, but a small selection can meet most needs.
* [[Rifles]] are a primary component of many survival armories
** [[.22 Long Rifle]]s are hunting small game, dealing with vermin, and practice. Popular models include the [[Ruger 10/22]] or [[Marlin Model 60]].
** [[Rifle#Bolt Action|Bolt-action]] [[.308 Winchester]] [[chamber]]ed rifles for [[hunting]] or other long-distance shooting. Popular models include the [[Remington Model 700]] and [[Winchester Model 70]].
** Large caliber [[semi-automatic]] rifles are useful for hunting, but are particularly useful for defense. Popular models include the [[M1A]], [[FN-FAL]], [[AR-10]] and [[HK-91]].
** Small caliber [[semi-automatic]] rifles are useful for hunting, but are particularly useful for [[home defense]] and [[varmint hunting]]. Popular models include the [[AR-15]] ([[.223]]/[[5.56]] [[ammunition]]), [[AK Pattern Rifles|AK-47]] ([[7.62x39]] ammo), and [[Ruger Ranch Rifle]] ([[.223]])
* [[Shotguns]] are very versatile tools that can fire a variety of [[shells]] other weapons can not.
** Shotguns are useful for defense, [[hunting]], and [[vermin control]]. Popular models include [[Remington 870]] and [[Mossberg 500]].
* [[Handgun#Pistols_.26_Handguns|Handguns]] are used primarily for defense, but see some use in hunting and vermin control.
** [[Revolvers]]
** [[Semi-automatic pistol]]s
===Stock up on Ammunition===

Remember that "[[Essay:Two is One, and One is None]]!" Gun cleaning supplies, [[holster]]s, gun cases, gun slings, optics, and basic gun-smithing tools are all necessary accessories for firearms. Also consider high quality [[knives]] and [[force multiplier]]s like [[IP camera|security camera]]s and [[radio communication technologies|Comms]] such as [[CB]]s-[[MURs]]-[[Amateur radio]]-[[Short wave]] [[radios]]. In-person firearms training, not just [[Youtube]] gun videos ([[Nutnfancy]]), and gun range time should be priorities as well.
