if you really want to be prepared, stock up on food, water, clothing, guns, and ammo...but even that is no guarantee that, if shit is to hit the fan, you're going to be spared.

You have your priorities wrong. This is the field recordist's opportunity-of-a-lifetime. Stockpile mics and optical recording devices. The world will never sound the same...
