Updated the list. Added section for hardware, "software" and bug out...
Some new items such as hand sanitiser and survival candy.

Today at the store I started collect items on the list (from memory). My daughter asked: - Shall we do as on the exhibition on survival at the museum? I guess I'm not the only one to see this as a exciting task! We did shop:
Couscous, Crushed tomatoes, Pasta, Oil, Tuna, Goulash soup (!), Bouillon... all with a good margin for expiration date. Not exactly as on list, but I thought a good start anyway. I thought I search the hidings of the house to see if we already has some of the other items, before shopping all the rest.
But when it was time for supper, the goulash soup was to tempting...and we did a little taste test! Taste OK and for less then 1 dollar per portion, we will not be ruined. :)
Next weekend we will stash some more from list!
It's not IF but when...!
