3. Three acres of Texas farmland,
4. Four packets of heirloom vegetable seed,
5. Five golden shotguns,
6. Six cases of cigarettes,
7. Seven cords of firewood,
8. Eight cases of toilet paper,
9. Nine gross of coffee,
10. Ten dozen candles,
11. Eleven jars of Tang,

I love tang : )
ReplyDeleteDo they still make that?
I love this. Great image also.
ReplyDeleteLove that blue.
and
I too have a lot of wood. Stove goes night and day.
There are definitely a few on here that I wouldn't want to be without!
ReplyDeleteA guide for the preppers out there. Sometimes, when I watch the news, I think I should become one too! :)
ReplyDelete12 cases of peanut butter ... Hotrod loves it ... Me too
ReplyDeleteJar of Marmite, lovely Log fire mmm
ReplyDeleteA Partridge? B
ReplyDeletebeautiful photo...i would need to add internet to that list ;)
ReplyDeleteIs it true that Tang is good to clean toilets???? LOL!!!...:)JP
ReplyDelete11 jars of tang!! Oh my word!! That is one way to have the energy to survive the season!!
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what to add, but I sure like the photo today. The colors really catch my eye.
ReplyDeleteI think I'd rather 2 chickens than the gold.
ReplyDeleteHaving been in the military, I understand the reason for wanting cigarettes.
Have a great week!
A case of serious paranoia pills for Beck...:)
ReplyDeleteagree with deb - would have to have peanut butter. and maybe beef jerky. :)
ReplyDeleteHaha - I never believed in any of those until lately! sandie
ReplyDelete12 bottles of aspirin? yikes! lol =)
ReplyDeletei'm not familiar w/ a cord of firewood, but i know what a rank of wood is... a lot
beautiful capture
How about a case of wine. haha
ReplyDeleteI love the red birdhouse on the fence post.
12 bottles of bourbon. Essential sometimes.
ReplyDeleteA wise man with some whiskey.
ReplyDeleteHahaha...love the comments! I'll give a nod to the peanut butter addition as well as silver. And how about we do away with the Tang and add powdered milk. And chocolate...can't live without chocolate. I could go on forever. Is a prepper's job ever done?
ReplyDeleteHaha I love it! Sounds like the perfect Christmas to me :) I'd have to add in a couple of chickens to that!
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna have to have some French Vanilla creamer to go with all that coffee and might need to add a little more to that toilet paper - unless, of course, that is just for me and I don't have to share - then I'm good!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy Nancy!
Lovely image. Ill have all thats on you list. I'll fly out next week to pick them up !!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day

Think I'd want some matches for the cigarettes & firewood and a crate of books. Oh, yah - a lamp w/oil.
ReplyDeleteHaha! I love it! It's a perfect list, and your wintery picture is great!
ReplyDeleteLove your little red birdhouse!!
ReplyDeleteI agree, we would need some chickens and let's swap out the Tang for 11 cases of wine! ;)
13 bales of barbed wire...for some reason I just think that goes with this list. And does that come in bales or yards...oh well! Love that photo!
ReplyDeleteCase of Nutella! :)
ReplyDeleteTang! Gosh, that is just what I have been missing! lol
ReplyDelete12 cases of vodka.
ReplyDelete1-9 mil
5 boxes of ammo for 9 mil
2-12's
6 boxes of ammo for each 12
3 gates for entry way
better doors
4 locks on better doors
cloaking device to thwart google
Nice shot.
ReplyDeletePeanut butter and wine! Love the photo!
ReplyDeleteDr. Pepper...by the ton.
ReplyDeleteI'd add some Nyquil, seeing as how I've caught the twins' cold and slept just 2 hours last night.
ReplyDeleteLove the pile of logs we too have a wood stove but no snow just frost and a north wind. Like your twelve days list it covers everything I am still thinking of what I would add.
ReplyDeleteFabulous capture!! Fun post, love the list!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day Nancy :)
ReplyDeleteIts like you read my mind! You appear to know a lot about this, like you wrote the book in it or something.
I think that you could do with some pics to drive the message home a bit, but instead of that, this is great blog.
An excellent read. I’ll certainly be back.
Heirloom seeds
I don't see wine or water or chocolate on there!!
