I’m not sure what I’d put in the cart. What I do know is that I’d want to talk about it on an internet discussion forum!! ---

And a 10 lb. bag of milk bones and a 4-pack of K-Y jelly. Just to make the NSA boys say, “What the . . .” P.S. Amazon advertises 4-packs of K-Y jelly “new and used from $16.99.” Used!? ---

Why buy packs when you can buy a 55 gallon drum? ---

> [@Sicks\_Ate](#): > > Ball bearings. Shrapnel, bitches. On first read, I thought this was a three-item list, and briefly wondered whether Amazon had a good selection of bitches available. ---

Well, at least out in the barn 😛 pvc pipe, chicken wire, duct tape - check Gas mask and filter - check Empty glass bottles - mason jars count? Rags - check Flammable liquids - check Scrap metal - our roomie is a blacksmith, we have more scrap metal than I care to think about. Metal pipes - check Axes - check Bolt cutters - check Sledge hammers - check Old tires - nope, we don’t keep any around, we always leave them at the place we get our tires done. Rapelling equipment - nope but we do have 2 parachutes. Kryptonite locks - nope, but I do have several miscellaneous masterlocks An army helmet- an old SS stahlhelm my Dad looted In addition we have a CD V-700 Geiger-Mueller counter, a Scott air pack, assorted guns and ammo, a kevlar vest with plates and more military clothing than you can shake a stick at. [Old school BDUs wear like iron and are great around the farm or for any manual labor that could destroy regular clothing. mrAru bought a tri-wall of blouses and a tri-wall of pants at a DRMO sale and has been gradually destroying them since :p] ---

Folks on drug discussion sites get a good laugh out of the “also bought” section. Looking at any book on shrooms, for example, gets a list of all the items needed to grow them. Or so I’ve heard.
