I took a trip yesterday, and, just by chance, found the outbreak shelter I can't get near my home.
In my area, there isn't a damn thing a far as supplies. But I took a trip to Ocala (Florida), and happened upon one of these:
http://www.gandermountain.com/
The store is HUGE! Browse the online items, then figure - oh, let's say - about 1,000x the selection (online is just bare-bones). Put it this way: when I walked down the main aisle, the first display item I saw at the back end was a .50 cal rifle (about 1,500 dollars). Now, that's the way to make an impression on a browsing shopper.:lol:
Everything we need, from firearms (including semi-auto assault rifles; they don't have the full-auto, military grade stuff thanks to the Democrats) to all the fishing gear you can imagine, to small boats! Hunting supplies, outdoor camping/survival equipment...everything.
And the icing on the cake? The shopping center only has one other store: a Northern Tools outlet! Generators, plumbing, lifts, winches, every power tool you can imagine. And every non-powered tool, too.
Run there, and we're set. Only thing missing is the raw material (like lumber) to build the place into a fortress.
...the one drawback is that it's about 40 miles from my house. I'll have to battle through one hell of a zombie gauntlet to reach it.
