I am by no means a theorist but I am a realist. I see things going on and it makes me nervous and realize I probably should do more to have my family in a better situation. There's a multitude of crap going on that could change how we live day to day.

Let's just say your town/area gets hit by a tornado or hurricane. Do you have the supplies to carry on for a week, or a month, or longer if you have to without natural gas and or electricity?

What are you doing to get ready for a what if situation?

We have been trying to stock up on canned goods and bottled water. We grew a lot in our garden last year but it wouldn't be enough to feed a family of 8 long.

Things I want to do soon:

Make a rain water collecting system for out door water/garden.

Get our old diesel powered light unit up and running to use as a generator.

Have some extra diesel on hand.

We will be doing a 2nd garden at our in laws this year.
