yeah water is life or death. ammo is not. hoarding thousands of rounds when u know you aint going use it all within a decent amount of time is uncool especially rounds that are in shortage. the guys i know who have 10k rounds of 22lr will have to shoot 100 rounds a day on sat and sun for 1 year of constant shooting. now if you do that much than fine but if you only shoot like 1000 for the year let other have a share of that 9000. be nice to your fellow shooters 
Water is needed for survival. So if you have to have water to live, who are you going to depend on? Costco? The Water Department? The Red Cross?
Here's a novel idea. How about yourself?!
I already had more than a dozen cases of water before the week of the hurricane warnings. I also had a month of dried food for the household for after the fridge and cabinets run empty.
When everybody else was Chicken Little, crying on the news about spending 4 hours in line at the Menehune Water bottling plant (and then buying as much water as their vehicle could hold -- not "leaving some for the next guy"), I was home watching it all. The DAY BEFORE the hurricane was due in, I went to the Costco at Waipio, and they had pallets on top of pallets of bottled water, and for the same price I paid before! SO I BOUGHT SOME MORE, JUST IN CASE.
Every disaster preparedness website, sign, PSA, or pamphlet I see says the exact same thing. Buy water and other hurricane/emergency supplies long before you need them. As you use them, replace your stock so it gets rotated, and it will be good for consumption later. Do not wait until the last minute, or you run the risk of being without. In that case, it does become a matter of life or death if you can't get to the stores, or the store shelves are empty for an extended period.
You can blame whoever on this forum for you not getting water, ammo, food, condoms, or whatever else you can't survive an emergency without. But as we all know, if you didn't plan ahead, you have no one to blame but yourself!
