9. Get some guns!!  Having weapons such as guns, knives and pepper spray for self defense is a must!  Ask any survival expert!!  You want to do so legally!!  If you go about getting a stash of guns illegally you will find yourself in a hell of a lot of more trouble in a time of panic!

10. Get a gas powered or solar powered generator.  If the SHTF you want to have power to heat or cool your house or bug out building.
