We normally have enough canned and dry goods to last several weeks when you include our frozen goods. If power goes out, it's usually restored in less than a hour. If it can't be restored, we'd cook any proteins so they last a little longer and eat what won't last.

Oh there's a few of them. At least one in each calibre. Quite a few magazines too.?Beat me to it!
Easy ammo(along with the firearms) makes you very popular with folks who need it. Similar to a large alcohol stash.You can't eat or drink ammo. You can't heat or cool with it either.

We always have too much food on hand. With two fridges full and an overflowing pantry, I have been begging my wife to buy less food.
Water is another thing. Hard to stock water, but I have a 25,000-gallon swimming pool in the back. It may have too much mineral and salt in it due to evaporation. I lose about 1/3" of water each day, hence the salt and mineral build-up. Drinking that water is still better than dying of thirst, I guess.
