    While I think I'm OK right now riding The Pandemic Out who knows maybe any of you have available Survival Items/Products/Resources that I should consider having on hand. So anything you recommend that is still available on Amazon or another mail order place? The Key word is available.

    Here for example are some items I bought online mainly from Amazon because of Coronavirus though many are no longer available:

    Many items one can get in Supermarkets, Costco, etc, but I personally have not gone into any Stores or Restaurants since the end of March

    Skinny Pop Popcorn 12 packs

    Phone Soap (Gadget) which destroys bacteria on wireless phones but are no longer available on Amazon I don't think

    Sealed Clorox & Lysol Wipes which I paid high prices for on Ebay

    Many Bars of Dial Soap

    Cases of Canned Black Beans and Canned Pea Soup

    Pasta 12 Packs, Oatmeal, Nature Valley 100 packs Oat and Honey Bars

    Disposable Kimberly Clark Sterling Nitrile Exam Gloves Powder Free

    Face Shields

    lock pick set, instant ice packs, ace bandages, back brace, pain relief, vitamins/supplements, good pair of boots, really good hiking socks, precursor chemicals, cannon fuse, electrical ignitors, garrote wire and toggles, pistol brace, ammo, magazines and magazine repair kits.
    there is going to be lots of stuff you could grab.
    depends on your needs and current / suspected situation.

    G4000A.
    A good multiband receiver with ssb. For me gathering info is more important than communicating with people i don't know. Comms in a group is a must.

    If your FAK doesn't already have one, get a pulseox meter, a stethoscope and blood pressure cuff.

    Hm. Well, you think you have enough water, food and other things you might need, so far so good. However, we do NOT have a complete list of what you have, so finding holes in your preps, then doing the Amazon (or other sources) research for you as the membership has done for you in the past seems a bit of more than you should expect from us. I'll pass, other than to say with your hermitting practice, getting the ARRL ham license manuals and get to learning is better than fretting about this damn virus fright.

    No idea on current models available. Just make sure to get a quality radio. Cheaper ones are pretty much disposable. An Eton i have has solar, crank and battery power built in. Plus it can charge a cell phone. Hate to think how many hours it would take cranking the thing though. I don't think my Grundig powers from external 12v. I remember a few years back a cat had chewed up the power cable and fried the transformer. Had to dig around to come up with the right replacement. And I know I have too many 12v ones in the shop.
    SSB (single side band) isn't necessary. I just wanted to have more options. Lots of signals can be picked up with side band. It's the mode of choice for around the world stuff.

    And remember to not leave any dead alkaline batteries in any electronics. Pissed me off when I forgot that and had to open my radio up to clean the battery compartment contacts after letting them sit for a couple of months.

    any of the various emergency heating and cooking gear is readily available - if you haven't taken care of that necessity >> times a waiting >> US made and most likely sitting in a store while the TP idiots walk by it ...

    @ED GEiN
    Since we know you aren't leaving any time soon, along with the radio manuals, you need to get some plumbing and electrical texts. With the storage piles you have accumulated, you cannot call the building super to fix things. There's a good chance he'll have something to say about overloading the floor.

    I'm enjoying the Hermiting though I still unfortunately have to leave my Apartment Fortess to empty my trash, get my mail and on occasion open the outside entrance door of my building to let the Supermarket Delivery most of which even at 2:00 AM I may encounter these idiots in my building. Unfortunately I will not risk using the Laundry Room which I perceive as a total "Hot Spot" and haven't done my laundry since March. I just order new garments from Amazon instead as needed.

    LOL Semi Right. I don't consider my place overloaded because of the spare second bedroom which I used as a Gym and Den before but I have a nonstop very small leak from the sink one of my bathrooms and I won't have anyone come in to fix it during the Pandemic especially the handyman who can't speak English after 20 years in the US. I don;t trust him not to be one of the infected.Yes I could hire someone but I do not want anyone entering my premises at this time. Learning to Plumb would make things worse as things like that I admit I'm totally useless.

    @ED GEiN How are you for surveillance? I would want something that shows me what's out there or even something that detects something is out there? Even audio would be an edge over nothing.
