So, I said I was going to start a section on getting ready for any supply disruptions or unexpected changes in our lives. This is no different from preparing for a national disaster such as an earthquake. Running out and getting supplies once the shit hits the fan… well it will be too late. The shelves will be empty, the lines long, and desperation high. Frankly, I’d rather remove that stress from my life. Why no do something now to prepare for a possibility?
It goes without saying that personal protection is important. After all this is America and personal protection is in our Constitution. What personal protection means to you may be different from me, but being in shape is a start, taking a self-defense class (one that teaches you to be active and not passive), and having some basic gear on hand. Keep a small high-powered flashlight on your person or near you at a minimum. Who knows when you will want to see down a dark alley or shine someone in the face. I really like the SureFire lights.
Stating the obvious we all need food and water to survive. What happens in the case where your well stops working due to no electricity, your city water supply turns off or becomes contaminated? You are going to be in a world of hurt. Being without water or depending on someone else such as the national guard for water would be brutal. Think about Katrina and how well that went. No thank you.
Check this out! Talk about a cool product and you can even use it for camping. I don’t have one yet, but will. Think about clean water with no viruses that will last for about 4000 liters or 6000 for the larger unit. Personally, I’d rather have two smaller units than one large. This would get you through a pinch as long as there was some source of water, and besides you could take it camping or exploring. It will even hold the dirty water and then when you want to drink you filter it.
