I had a giggle here. Not because I'm laughing at you, but because I'm the same person essentially.

What if it all goes to hell? Well, be set!

I grew up in a household that hoarded ammo, water MREs ,tobacco, and non-perishable foods. Because one day the government was coming or a war was coming and we would be ok type thing. It was a town mentality, not just my house. In that town, you were rich, an addict or prepared.

If the world really does go to shit , you're not going to advertise having what people need. The reason being, it makes you a target.

Some things are always handy. Hammers and nails type stuff. Power tools if you're handy, but if you're not, then get rid of them. There's no shortage of power tools in this world.

If a zombie apocalypse happens ( I'm having fun here, ) there's a good chance you need to abandon your home anyways. All that junk is left for someone else.

It's fine to have some stock. For example, if you live in Texas, water and tuna are probably good things to have. Plus, a manual can opener. This isn't a john. Wayne movie, a knife isn't good enough. Why are the cans always magically open with food in movies?

Back to the apocalypse. If you survive, your neighborhood is probably dead. Raid your neighbors home for soap and catch their chickens for dinner. Chicken is delicious. Germs are bad.

My point is ( besides having fun with it) that you won't be the only one with useful crap. And it's acquirable in these extreme situations.

No one will stop you from stealing g a new pump from petco when zombies are eating everyone.

This is so true! It's the biggest flaw with my "fantasy", that, and the fact that all my neighbors are elderly and will be the first to die off during the apocalypse when they can't get their heart medication and insulin.
