5 Surprising Items you NEED to Hoard
If you’ve ever considered creating a stockpile of necessities in the event of a crisis, you are not alone. Many people throughout the world are prepared to keep themselves and their loved ones safe and fed during any situation man or nature throws at them. However, you might be surprised by some items you will need to stockpile to actually make it through the crisis. This list does not contain any food products. NOTE: DON’T FORGET FOOD!
#1 Aspirin.
Everyone knows Asprin is a general pain reliever, and most everyone has used these pills to reduce fever or a bad headache. What most people don’t know is Asprin can be directly placed on a bee sting or bug bite, greatly reducing the pain experienced by the afflicted. When mixed with corn starch, Asprin can be used to create a very powerful bug repellent. Asprin infused water can even be used to help your plants avoid infection.
#2 Cat litter.
Even if you don’t have a cat, cat litter can be used for numerous purposes. Much like the use for a cat, litter would work for human waste. Litter poured into a portable toilet will greatly reduce smells. In addition to the obvious reasons, litter can be used to increase tire traction on icy roads. Just pour it under, in front and behind your tiers. If you are growing your own plants in a dry climate, add litter to the soil mix. It will actually hold in more moisture than just the soil.
