Industrial/DIY/Hardware/Outdoor store, it's 200m from the tracks and has almost everything I don't have already. It's also got the bonus of being in an industrial area so it's got fairly heavy gates/fences so on the off chance I do get stuck on site I can survive for a while as long as it rains enough (which this being England shouldn't be a problem).

Wal-greens is right by my house. I'd go and find a ton of pain relievers, antibiotics, general meds. Also I'd get gauges, food items and a collapsible cane incase of a leg injury

Firstly I would acquire petroleum (gasoline for US citizens) and diesel fuel from either a rural farm house I know of that stores a significant quantity of diesel fuel or an industrial complex with large tanks I am also aware of.
I'd acquire petroleum as well as diesel - and hopefully collect a large quantity of both.

Following that, I'd venture to a Gardening/Hardware store I live nearby.

Gardening supplies I would seek include: fertiliser, quality seed raising mix, pest control chemicals, fencing wire, plastic pots, irrigation fittings and rubber sheeting.

Hardware supplies I would attempt to acquire include: fixings (nails, screws, rivets), steel, rubber matting, plumbing supplies, padlocks, batteries, specialist tools, welding wire, chemicals (chlorine, kerosene, engine oil), light bulbs/light fixtures and electrical cabling.

I wouldn't attempt going near any food stores or petrol (gas) stations for at least six months after SHTF because I am sure those locations would be a killzone due to other survivors.

I already have a significant quantity of seeds and the knowledge required to cultivate my own crops. I am also able to find my own clean drinking water, as well as having an extensive rain water catchment system where I'm currently living. I will be able to "hole up" inside my house for at least six months before any "bug out" type situation is required.

While the prospect of raiding/looting other stores in the area would be tempting, I don't think I'd risk it. The fuel, gardening and hardware supplies would totally complete my preparations.

Got my ford running on cooking oil and the sorting bins they got what I need to patch up or repair. They even got security if fenced in. Most of em are when I was going up and down the west coast. I stayed at one for a few weeks getting over the flu years back. The owner didnt give a crap as long as I didnt cause shit. I repaired my crossbow and found parts for my glock too. I made a rocket stove outta some crap for the owner for $100the and earned my keep killing rats with crossbow. He had fricken huge rats the size of chickens.

Supply warehouses are what most market chains uses nowadays to get their products. Basically real easy to find. Industrial parks is what I'd look for things that I can build with. Earlier I mentioned junkyards they're easy to get into without any hassle.

>raiding after z-day, like all the other plebs who say they're gonna run to walmart/academy/bubba's hunting supplies/the mall (god forbid)
>not having your supplies stocked beforehand
Have fun being trampled or shot because Jamal had his hand on the can of beans first and you wouldn't let go.
Honestly though, I'd grab a bunch of cash and go to the stores no-one would think to loot (specialty stores and the like, just some fun shit i couldn't afford before the habbening) just to get out and get some action but not too far in danger's way. If there's no cashier i just leave the money (it'll be useless soon anyways) and if there's actually a cashier there, I'll leave the brave sonofabitch manning his post a weapon that I don't really need that might help him out, like a spare crowbar that i'd have in my bag or something.

We roleplayed through this scenario as a tabletop RPG. My group decided to first raid a nearby store which stocked both food and hunting ammo. That was an obvious choice.

The more interesting choice was the second place we raid -- an adult novelty store. We went there looking for batteries, but we came away with all sorts of handy stuff. Those vinyl costumes are surprisingly bite-resistant.
