WDB, that does help. "Have both!" is what you basically said. Cool, I'll just buy one box of each (multiplied by as many times as I feel like it).

Reiterating once again:

-Water purification
-Food
-Heat (and tools to get heat)
-Medical supplies
-Fuel

Are ALL more important than ammo, both for utility and for bartering value.

Then, below that and next on the list is centerfire rifle ammo, rimfire rifle ammo, and then handgun ammo.

Probably below that are things like clothing, etc. I got my priorities straight, just looking for refinement on a particular point. Thanks for all the help and thoughts.
