Are YOU prepared?

[gruvn]

Tornadoes ot terrorist attacks on nuclear towers, are the big voncern here, I don't do anything about either tIf a tornadoe hits , it is very violent but the damage is usually contained to a small area so supplies would not be very far anyway.If there is a nuclear attack I dont think I would be able to outrun it, so why bother preparing.

My experience is you need to prepare for three weeks.

Two of the wierdest things to make sure you have, a car charger for your cell phone and a fly swatter.

Make sure you have your tetnus shots up to date.

I should have been a boy scout.

Shortwave radio, batteryless. (Is that a word???)

I won't tell Norm just in case.
Seriously, is the radio crank operated?

I noticed without being notified

Damn I was going to say where do you live Palistine, or Baghdad,

to really know what yer gonna need is to go live with some folks in a third world country for a week or so and THEN you will realise what is necessary and what is merley fluff.



unless you live with a group community like the Minnonites or some folks who are totally family oriented in some remote regions of rural states ... one of the biggest issues with survival is going to be self defense for your family members.

This is if you live in a highly concentrated populous.

Yesterday, we updated our earthquake kit. We have K rations, enough fresh water for a week (jugs are good for two years), water purification tablets, flashlights, emergency blankets, tool kit, first aid kit etc.
We also have our camper with 110 watts of solar power and propane fridge if it makes it through a quake.
Can you last a week?

I am sure you have a few barbeques as well

Mennonites own cars and have internet access these days.

When we were without power after the blizzard a few years back, it actually brought our community together.
There was NO gun fire whatsoever.
Kind of scary how things can go, 9 11 seemed to bring you guys together, hurricane Katrina brought chaos and anarchy.

When faced with a disaster where it's every man for himself it makes no difference who you are or where you live. It comes down those who have and those who don't.

I never owned a gun in my life until after going through a mass evacuation of my area for Hurricane Floyd. It was clear that when in dire straits people become desperate. I knew that to protect my family and property after the storm I needed a deterrent as well as an effective weapon, so I got a Mossberg 18" 12GA pump.........what we used to call a riot gun.

I hope I never have to use it.
