I both appreciate and despise these discussions. 
Because they are not as inclusive as they seem. 
They are normally geared towards the gun-guy (or girl), who has multiple firearms and platforms. 
And in my experience in law enforcement and firearms training, that is not the norm. 

So let’s take this and break it down a little. 
First how long are we looking at? A month, a year, a decade?

Then the situation. Because the needs will be different in New York from Wyoming. 

A simpler way to look at this is to put back a thousand rounds of decent ammo for each of your primary cartridges. 

This is not range ammo, and potentially not your defense ammunition. It’s just good ammo that is put back “in case of fire”. 

For example, I may run HST’s in my 9mm, but I may keep a case of 124gr NATO ball in reserve because I got a great deal on them. 
Are they as good? Maybe, maybe not. But they are sealed, and can be used in 25 years and get the same effect as the day they were produced. Maybe not as good a bullet as the HST, but they will do. 

Or a case of 147gr flat points in reserve if I am carrying the 147 HST’s. Again this is reserve ammo, they just have to work 100%. 

As for the carbines, again a thousand rounds in reserve. I have the good stuff in the mags for use today and tomorrow. And there’s the practice stuff, but we aren’t talking about the practice stuff, this is the emergency stash. 

This is the zombies are at the door stuff. Not for blasting paper on the weekends. 

How much defense ammo do you need? If you are rotating your carry ammo every year, most of us need a box of 50 each year at most. Now take that for 20 years and that’s 2 five hundred round cases of defense ammo. 
Now just put the unused rounds back in the box when you rotate and you now have some backup defense ammo if you run out of the new stuff. Buy a box every two weeks in time with your paycheck and you have a 20 year supply in less than half a year. 

In the case of defense ammo, plan for what you know you are going to use/rotate, and if you have extra, great. If you dig in a little deeper, you already have it and can add more later.

Hunting ammo, I can keep us fed with 5-10 rounds per year. 
I am not shooting classes with this stuff, I am not dumping hundreds of rounds at the range. 
So if I need 10 rounds per year, a twenty year supply is only 5 boxes. As long as I keep that much in reserve, on top of range ammunition, on top of potential “defense” ammo, which is just my stock of  hunting ammunition, I can live with that. 

As far as defense ammunition goes, I will admit to preferring to keeping a little more around. 
I carry three pistol mags on me, and three more in my war bag. 
That’s a hundred rounds, rotated annually. Again, not hard to put a pile back a box at a time. 

Now my rancher friend who tags a coyote or two with his rifle each week, he needs more ammunition than I do, as he is using it up. And for many years, he has been just buying a box a week from the store. 20 rounds a week. 
He didn’t notice the last couple of ammunition shortages, didn’t change his use either. And right now he could not buy any more and still have a pile in 50 years at his current rate of consumption. 
The difference is he doesn’t train, he doesn’t take classes, but he is constantly using the rifle. And doesn’t need to train. 

Figure out what you need before you go out and fill the garage. 

Selco Begovic of SHTFSchool also recommends a thousand rounds, and he spent a year in a besieged city as well as 10+ years in a revolutionary area. 

But you do you.

@rustymiller194

I put back 1000 rd for each caliber of guns I have……

@JayHayyy

Kimchi cowboy lmao 😂 love the channel

@dennisdial7872

@S.WilliamsArrow

Good Job Sir. Thanks for sharing.

@twinarrowssurvival.2.065

All the ammo for everything

@Thebrssbrgd

Golden rule 10,000 rounds of 9mm 10k preferred rifle!

@dennisdial7872

You gonna get killed before you shoot 1/10 of all that ammo

@dennisdial7872

I do believe in being prepared

@keeperoftruth5951

Man you have to be living in an extremely rural place and not have to do much moving to keep all engagements out to 200m minimum. Train for every scenario because one day, maybe even years after shtf, all who survive will be put into a less than ideal situation eventually.

@dennisdial7872

We need to network

@ACommenterOnYouTube

Here's the EXACT Amount of Ammo You Need

LMAO like you know exactly how much everyone "needs" 
Its not about how much, its about what caliber/s will be the most valuable.

@bensonhedges5471

So when the shtf and your defending your house against numerous assailants who just keep coming - in through the windows, kicking in the doors u can't take them all on....where you gonna run carrying all that heavy ammo?

@dennisdial7872

You talk about this like its going to be like a trip to the range
Very  very  different  people die

@dawss

Terrible  boring video
