How much ammo do you really need for an SHTF, grid-down, or civil war scenario? In this video, I share my personal perspective on building a realistic ammo stockpile for survival, preparedness, and self-defense. Many new firearm owners get caught up in the numbers, but I break down a smarter approach to stocking ammunition and building a firearm collection that balances budget, capability, and long-term sustainability.
From defensive rifle calibers like 5.56 and 7.62, to shotgun shells and handgun ammo, I discuss how to prioritize your stockpile for home defense, tactical training, and survival situations. If you’ve ever wondered what’s “enough” ammo for a collapse or how to be better prepared as a citizen, prepper, or tactical enthusiast, this video provides practical insights for both beginners and experienced firearm owners.
This discussion also compares different approaches to preparedness: hoarding thousands of rounds vs. training with what you have and steadily growing your supply. I highlight what I believe is a better strategy for new gun owners and preppers who want to be truly ready without wasting time or money.
