We're bugging in

[Aloha_Shooter]

I have a bit more equipment and flexibility than you do since I have a house rather than apartment and I'm a Scout leader but here's a partial list of my set up for a shut-in:

- Gas grill with 2x20 lb propane tanks
- Coleman 2-burner white gas stove
- 2 Coleman dual-fuel backpacking stoves (white gas/unleaded gas)
- 8 gal white gas
- 2 gal unleaded gas
- 2 Coleman 2-mantle dual-fuel lanterns
- Sleeping bag rated to 10 F
- Sleeping bag rated to 40 F
- Sleeping bag rated to 50F
- Camping ceramic water filter
- Aussie collapsible fire pit/grill
- Dutch oven
- Mess kits
- First aid kit
- Wilderness First Aid reference book
- 19W solar panel
- 5 Li-Ion rechargeable batteries for recharging USB electronics (approx 35000 A-h total)
- Recharger for Ni-MH and alkaline AAA and AA batteries (8 slots)
- 20x rechargeable AA batteries
- 20x rechargeable AAA batteries

The Coleman lanterns will help me keep a small room warm if I need it and I can supplement that with one of the backpacking stoves but it doesn't take much.

On water storage, I don't keep more than 2 gallons stored daily but I can store 60 gal if I have a heads-up. I figure worst case, I'll use the ceramic filter on the hot tub water but that's my last-resort plan.
I regularly keep about 3 weeks worth of non-perishable food around -- haven't formalized it but starving is really my least concern. I might be vegan my last week or two but I definitely won't starve.

Of course, I have my 10 book cases worth of reading material in the event of a shut-in so I don't have to worry about lack of TV or Internet. People forget having something to do but that's why people go cabin-crazy when shut-in. What are you going to do to pass the time besides clean your guns when you're shut or bugging in?

Could it be improved? Sure but I just don't want to store more gas on-site than that until I get close to a SHTF scenario and I can go get more 5 gal water containers easily, I just don't want to have to cycle through all that water regularly.

Only 2? We have that in one cabinet . Can never have "enough propane", If you know how to read them, garage sales can net you 1 or 2 extra tanks. Nice stash of AA & AAA batteries, been looking at solar panels.

Over the years I have picked up some here and there. I now have 3-30's, 1-40 and 5-20's filled. Have another couple of 20's I need to fill.

Go rechargeable with adapters. I have 12 "D" and 6 "C" adapters for the AA size. I have solar to charge with and even though I can charge through an inverter I need to make a separate 3V 3A solar panel to run the charger. I need to finish my last 175W of panels. currently down to 3 with about 130W of charging ability.
