Buy land (several acres) if you can. On or close to a body of freshwater is the best.
Weapons and Ammo: I prefer tactical military weapons. IE Shotgun with 00, tactical rifle (M4 platform or FS 2000 with a good scope for me), a couple of good large caliber pistols. A good scoped hunting rifle is good too. Ammo, ammo, ammo. Learn how to properly operate a firearm. Including quickly clearing jams.
Start a garden. Non-hybrid seeds is better.
Cows and chickens for protein. Fish if you live by a large body of water.
Form a good group of people. This is the most important thing IMO. You'll need to be around people you can trust when things get ugly. Surviving tough situations is always easier with a good team. Immediate family is the most important.
