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.

I haven't found anywhere to buy ammo. I have 5 shots if anybody wants to get ugly. But I'm a good aim.
I'm not lost. I'm exploring.

Back in 1980, I was production supervisor for a water bottling company in CA. The company owner brokered a deal with Great Waters of France (Nestle/ Perrier) for the sale of a large local mineral water company. They promptly took the sales list and started the decline and eventual closure of the company.

They've owned Poland Spring for years now and have expanded a lot drawing water from all over the state , very little actually comes from Poland Spring anymore.
I used to workamp at a place actually in Poland Spring and would tell the campers to drink all they wanted , for free !
Hell , I flushed with it , and took showers in it ! Guess , so did everybody else staying there....
stay tuned
