100 Items that will disappear first in a SHTF Situation (Revised and Updated)

(Before It's News)

I’m sure at this point everyone has seen this list, it has circulated all over the internet for years now. I don’t agree with the original list, so I am updating the list based on information from actual events such as the collapse of USSR, Greece financial meltdown and Iraq, along with other events and situations I could can locate information about online. I condensed the list down to only 70 items and categorized them to give you a better overview.

Food & Supplies

1. Chickens, Cows (diary and beefers) and all other forms of livestock will be hoarded, stolen, traded and sold for insane prices. After a month or so you will not be able to purchase any.
2. Deer and wild game will be shot and wiped from existence quickly.
3. Water (Bottled, Gallon and 5 Gallon)
4. Water Filters/Purifiers including bleach will be impossible to find after a week or so. People will be selling spring water and public springs will have lines hours long.
5. Salt – this is a vital nutrient and will be used to preserve meat. Don’t be surprised to see this used as currency, it has been used as such in the past and in a SHTF situation it will be used that way again.
6. Cast iron cookware - long lasting and can be used over an open fire.
7. Rice, Beans, Wheat, Flour and Yeast. All these basic ingredients will be purchased in mass and quickly hoarded. Expect these to be purchased faster than canned goods.
8. Cooking Oils
9. Charcoal – city folk will hoard this immediately as they will see it as the only way to cook their food.
10. Everything Gardening (Seeds, books & videos, supplies and tools)
11. Canned Foods of all types. People will just shove them into their carts without even looking at the labels. These will also be used as currency as in a few months everyone will be tired of consuming canned goods but they have value so they will barter with these.
12. Canning supplies (Jars/lids/wax) – Most stores carry very little if any canning supplies so one person can easily clean out the entire store’s inventory.
13. Jerky and other long lasting meats
14. Teas, Coffee, Gatoraide and Koolaides
15. Milk – Powdered & Condensed

Medicine & Health

1. Hygiene supplies: Shampoo, Toothbrush/paste, Tampons, Mouthwash/floss, nail clippers, etc
2. Vitamins and Supplements – Some foods like bananas will be hard to come by so pills will be the only source of many needed nutrients.
3. Tylenol, Advil, cough syrup etc …
4. Wine/Liquors (for bribes, medicinal, etc…)
5. First aid kits
6. Gas masks
7. Medical guides, books and magazines – Knowledge is power
8. Toilet Paper, Kleenex, Paper Towels
9. Infant/Toddler Supplies (formula, cloth diapers, wash cloths)

Outdoors Gear

1. Survival Magazines, Books and Guides – Knowledge is power and Americans lack the basic skills needed to grow food and survive
2. Fishing supplies/tools – Need meat? Everyone will be wiping out the fish in all public rivers, lakes etc …
3. Bug and Rodent killers, repellents and treatments.
4. Tarps/stakes/twine/nails/rope/spikes
5. Lumber (all types)
6. Wagons & carts (for transport to and from)
7. Bow saws, axes and hatchets, Wedges (also, honing oil)
8. Gasoline Containers (Plastic & Metal)
