RE:

We're moving into a new place and will have to start all over. Does anyone have a quick list reference of things we would need so that it becomes easy to go about buying.

Just looking for something already existing as it would become a bit easy.

With every day pass, our country is getting into more and more trouble. The inflation, unemployment and falling value of dollar are the main concern for our Government but authorities are just sleeping, they don’t want to face the fact. Media is also involve in it, they are force to stop showing the real economic situation to the people. I start getting more concern about my future as well as my family after watching the response of our Government for the people that affected by hurricane Katrina.

According to recent studies made by World Bank, the coming crisis will be far worse than initially predicted. So if you're already preparing for the crisis (or haven't started yet) make sure you watch this video at http://www.familysurvival.tv/ and discover the 4 BIG issues you'll have to deal with when the crisis hits, and how to solve them fast (before the disaster strikes your town!) without spending $1,000s on overrated items and useless survival books.

Mack sure you have a hand can opener, an extra flashlight and batteries, tea light candles when power goes out, jars they will fit in, if you can find kid's battery operated lanterns - they can be hung up and last for hours on 2 AA batteries. They give out a lot of light,.

If you can afford some expensive stuff look for you closest furniture store and go from there. if not go to the thrift shop or salvation army or something. they have a bunch of stuff thats cheap and good for you to still use.
