    I am prepared too. I have an extra case of beer in the shed and some good weed hidden in my underwear drawer.
    I should have been a boy scout.

    You have watched Red Dawn one too many times.

    Just bsing ya. I got credit,cash and insurance. Plus I can barter for my skills. And if some crap hit the fan, even though I QUIT, I got some gonga for medicinal use for coping with the stress of it all.

    Now if it became so uncivilized where cash, credit or insurance did not matter, I still got the weed so, it's all good. .

    Actually all joking aside. This is serious shit for these people. No job left, if they were not with some cash, alot of credit cards and insured I feel for them. I have nmo clue what they are going to do.

    Lets see, beer under the stairs, beer in the camper, beer in the fridge, beer in the garage.
    Weed goes in the tool kit.

    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.

    The way we build has a greater impact on our comfort, energy consumption and IAQ than any HVAC system we install.

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

    I noticed without being notified

    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.

    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.
