Right now I have a hot water tank as well, but will be moving into a place with a tankless heater - which is probably the only downfall to a tankless heater - no water storage in case of emergency.
My pantry is always full. I probably could eke out 4-6 months of food if need be. I also have some supplies in my car (small campstove for melting snow, emergency candles, lighters, blankets, snacks and drinks etc. I have a crank/solar powered radio that also charges cellphones. n-95 masks for the kids. And so on.
My parents have a lot of supplies also, live close (10 min walk, less than 2 min drive) and have a lake lot an hour away with supplies, firewood, propane powered RV, water from the well or lake if need be, fishing, fruit and nut trees, etc.
My plan is to be 'off the grid' eventually, so working towards that, although I'm not too worried about the 'end times', I just want to live sustainably.
