I figured these supplies could help with some fortifications. Anyone else besides my parnoid self thought of this?
These are all good things to have around, and may well be useful if the SHTF. But I tend to subscribe to the "hide in plain sight" philosophy myself.

Just curious, where did you get 800 empty sandbags and the sheet steel?
