I would add a few rolls of blue painter's tape. I am much more likely to put that up on my doors and windows that Gorilla Tape. Maybe if the world is truly ending a bit of tape residue or peeled paint won't matter, but if I'm doing it just in case, then I don't want things ruined.

For covering windows or dividing rooms to save heating, I prefer the clear or opaque shower curtains from the various dollar stores and painter's tape. If you are using a flame source for heating or lighting, make arrangements for easy access to at least one window inorder to provide whatever additional ventilation might be required.

Have finger nail clippers in every medical kit in various go bags. Not much weight, and yes other things could work. But for the weight and volume they take up it doesn’t make sense not to throw them in there.

Superb advice as always. I swear by Mylar emergency blankets. Combine a bunch of them with some duct tape and you have solutions to so many problems. Just a heads-up from the UK. Those Coleman gas canisters are sold out here across every supplier I could find. It was kind of odd. Even my existing order with a reputable supplier was cancelled and refunded. I have a few valves and widgets that allow me to refuel canisters of one type to the next. I am not saying that its sensible, but I am glad I have the options (never more than 50% full though)

All good info but I think one thing that can't be stressed enough is improvisation! Thinking outside the box is what can really keep you alive. Something as simple as knowing that the powdered chlorine some people store to purify water and brake fluid will react to make fire is gonna expand the number of tools at your disposal for staying alive. Whole spices last longer than powdered spices, dried corn plus lime used in construction will allow you to make maza to make tortillas from hard to digest corn and so on.

Some emergency blankets came very handy during a heat wave to partially cover some windows, can be used for extra insulation as well. I could save some power for the air conditioner unit that way. The solid fire tabs or lamp oil/diesel can help to start the fire in the stove in a chilly morning.

I use that very ferro rod. Put a paracord or bank line wrap on it helps holding it while striking, particularly as you wear into it. 3-5 inches of wrap helps. I have also struck it off a leatherman saw blade because it's 90 degree cut. The back of a folding saw also works well, more so in cold because it's so big compared to a knife.

We have a couple of dedicated hurricane lamps that we use on the patio. We burn tiki torch fuel that contains citronella in them to help discourage mosquitoes. The box stores often put the fuel on sale at the end of the summer. It's smokey and it smells too bad to use indoors though, so don't plan on doing that unless you're Very desperate for light. Estate sales are a good source for nice, but cheap hurricane lamps. The Amish store, Lehmann's, sells extra burners and chimneys. Academy sells cheap lamp wicks.

I bought Dietz brand which are much better than the cheap ones at Walmart. I use lamp oil and it burns much cleaner than kerosene. I'd never use kerosene inside due to the odor.

Is Jesus the only way to Heaven, or are there multiple ways? John 14:6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father but by me.” If He said that, why are there so many religions worldwide who claim they’re the way too? Satan is a liar and a deceiver, and there is no other place he’s infiltrated more than religions around the world. Even further, he set up many of the religions. My point is absolutely not to say somebody who’s religious isn’t saved. Only God knows the heart. As long as they believe in Jesus alone as Savior, they’re saved. My point is that many Christian religions take the focus off of Jesus & the Bible, and put the focus on religious traditions. Jesus knew this would happen. He rebuked many of the religious Pharisees of His day because they valued their good works, and their traditions over God. The will of God is that you’ll put your faith alone in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus to have eternal life in Heaven. John 6:29 “Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the will of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.” John 3:36 “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.”
