My daughter sent us a video of her shooting a .50 cal. at a range in Idaho. I told her she must really like this guy, as she's never shot a gun in her life before and has never been interested in doing so. He's not a crazy prepper, just a guy who likes hunting and fishing and, apparently, shooting large-caliber weapons.

Packing one of these beasts around (the gun - not the Humvee) along with the ammo, and perhaps even a bipod, just seems like severe overkill to me.

The one she fired was on a sort of tripod mount, and she was prone when firing.

Within the next month, I will be buying another year of food storage accordingly, as well as feminine hygiene products. Also, (laugh at me if you want, but I'm doing it anyway), personal items necessary for married life in a crisis.
Quite a few. I already mentioned feminine care items, as well as other items I think might be good to have for a relationship while the rest of the world is falling apart. I wouldn't imagine having children in a crisis would be wise, so that issue would need to be prepared for as well. Beyond that, maybe some extra toiletries of various kinds. Shampoo, soap, feminine toiletry items...
That sort of thing.
I'll let the Holy Ghost prompt me in what to get, just like I did when I followed the Holy Ghost's advice in getting my self-defense items in order. There were some interesting things I was directed towards. For example, I felt guided towards buying security/warning signs to hang around the neighborhood during a disaster to ward off people up to no good. Beware of dog signs, armed guard on patrol signs (which would be me), etc.
Same deal when I sought out the best combat instructor in the state to teach me how to fight and defend my loved ones in a crisis. I prayed about it and searched around for about a week. Ended up finding and hiring a SWAT Team Leader and an ex-Special Forces Commando, all by the direction of the Holy Ghost. This is the Urban Combat training I did with them 2 weeks ago. They were excellent, and I'm going for more training over the next few weeks:
