I'm not a prepper but if I was or had been I'd have followed the ammo stockpiling that seriously started in 1999 (for Y2K), and hasn't slowed down. It's great trading/barter stock. Gas spoils/goes bad, ammo doesn't. You can still (take a risk) and fire decades old cartridges.
Diesel lasts a long time, it's funny watching YT videos of old abandoned vehicles starting up again after 20, 30, 50 years with the same diesel (supposedly) that was in their fuel tank. I'll bet farmers/ranchers who have the above ground storage tanks are happy they have a small stock, and refill when it's cheaper.
Not worth it to carry extra 5 gallon gas cans to save 30 cents a gallon though.
