We rarely have less than a month's supply on hand. This is not especially because we "expect disaster", it's because it's a 50 mile trip to the grocery store and it just makes sense to make one trip a month instead of four.
As others have mentioned, when we shop we buy more than our immediate needs on non-perishables. If we need 2 cans of green beans, we buy four. We have a pantry in the basement that stays pretty well stocked up and we rotate the older stuff to the front. Have NEVER opened a can that had gone bad. Probably everything gets rotated in a year's time, maybe a bit less.
We also have two freezers chock-a-block full by the end of October. Our own chicken and lamb, plus select cuts of this and that whenever the store has a special.
A good generator is a given. Again, not because we foresee Armageddon, but because the local electric utility is a freakin' joke and we have outages every time it clouds up. I have a portable gas unit big enough to run the freezers, well and furnace. I've been contemplating a bigger built-in autoswitch unit, but haven't been pleased with the results reported by local folks that have them. Mechanically they're okay (altho there have been some failures) but electronically they a huge PITA with frequent and repeated failures and long repair delays. I'll keep my old Briggs for right now.
And how much ammo I have on hand is classified...";^)

Imagine a crude hole made in the hood to accommodate a new taller air cleaner, the fender wells cut away to make way for larger tires, and half of a sliding glass door used to replace the windshield. Top that off with an old set of '36 Ford headlight shells bolted to the hood. Pretty unlikely for a car... but for a tractor, this is pretty normal. It seems that more often than not they a
