17. Kinda sorta?

Friday

I keep a fairly substantial pile of cash available in the event of a short term Market crash.

I keep some food staples in good supply in case of supply line disruption.

...and maybe not so popular here, but I also have a decent supply of copper, brass and lead. I don't anticipate wide-spread violence, and I'm too old and fat to go all "WOLVERINES!" But I do wanna be able to hunker down if I need to. I live in a red state with some A-holes who would absolute terrorize "da libs" if they could get away with it.
