Have you ever lived through a hurricane? Lived without electricity for weeks on end? I assume NOT! Baby wipes are hygiene! What rock have you crawled out from under? Do you not have children? Baby wipes may not be antibacterial but they do help bathe.
At the hospital I work at, we had to use them for a day....So I would say the epic failure is your inability to comprehend the intention

Lets face it, $1000 is not a lot so I suspect you are looking to get through an emergency situation only lasting weeks to a few months.
First: How many people are you to provide for? That is important.
Next: Think about your space and where you are going to store your supplies. I have quickly learned that space seems to vaporize once you cross the threshold of prepper
Here is a start:
SALT: Its cheap, buy 10 pounds per person
Sugar 25 pounds
Honey 12 pounds
Salmon in cans: 2 servings per person each can about 2 bucks
Tuna in OIL
Vienna sausages
SPAM
Chicken in cans
Canned PUMPKIN
Large jars of peanut butter
Box of cocoa
Dehydrated apples (honeyville)
Powdered milk in cases: I go with Honeyville brand its the best tasting!! I have tried many brands.
Wheat: Go for the wheat berries sold by the case from LDS, they are only 28 bucks for 30 pounds, you need many cases per person
A large Thermos: You take a cup of wheat berries and 1 cup hot water, put in thermos let set overnight. Open and add some honey or sugar and enjoy the cereal. You will survive!
Rice: Same thing, LDS is about 30 bucks a case... These are designed for up to 30 yrs storage
Beans: I bought cases but they take such large amounts of water.....I suggest also buying them in the cans! They can stay good 8 years from exp date. Get black beans, kidney beans and black eyed peas for nutrition
Get a solar oven
Yeast packs
dutch oven
Ramen cases
Stock up on toothpaste: Here AIM is 87Cents a box get toothbrushes
Baking Soda
Stock up TANG
Buy bottled juices, large cans of fruit
Laundry soap to have on hand
Shampoo soap etc
Bleach a few gallons
BABY WIPES!! I buy these by the large packs..Instant shower
I also use lanterns with oil, get xtra wicks, extra packs of lighters!!
Tarps, paracord,
Bug Out Bag.....
Duct Tape
Aluminum Foil
WATER!!!
WATER FILTER this to me is The BEST, I love this one, www.katadyn.com...
BUY THE BOOK
SAS Survival Handbook: Teaches you everything you need to know about shelters, traps, how to clean animals etc..
BUY THE BOOK:The Ultimate Food Storage Cookbook!!!
If you dont know how to square foot garden: LEARN NOW!! Seed to Seed is all non gmo seeds
Learn how to build an outdoor oven to bake your own bread
Aluminum Trash Cans, build a cold shelter in your backyard in a pinch with these and a shovel
Buy some antibiotics, vitamins, vitamin c etc....
You may now have spent your $1000... Good Luck!!edit on 21-12-2011 by Starwise because: (no reason given)edit on 21-12-2011 by Starwise because: (no reason given)
