Dear SC,

Can you pass on any of the thoughts of the LDS Church?

I have let my lists to the LDS groups go no mail, in order to read all the news here.

I have found the LDS groups to be the best prepared, guns, gas, and food.

I don't know how to safely store gas and won't attempt it, as I am not leaving my place, but I do worry about the folks who are going to attempt to escape on an empty tank.

To those of you packing the 72 hour, Bug out bags, don't put in food that needs to be cooked, you won't be in a location that has room for all those camp stoves.

Instead, make it cans and right NOW get 6 can openers, (non-electric) to put in each persons bag and the cars.

Canned fruits are good, as you can drink the juice.

Put in some cooking herbs, as green beans with a touch of rosemary, taste better, than plain green beans.

As you know, I think Lavender Essential Oil, is the most important item for the bags, but you will want some type of aspirin and Peroxide.

Large needles and dental floss for heavy repairs, the only use for small needles, might be to sew skin back togather.

They have always been telling us to prepare for the return of Christ. I don't really follow their doctrine much anymore, but as I recall, gas wasn't always something they said would be needed, as you wouldn't really want to go anywhere while all that was going on. Regarding terrorism though, gas can be essential. One of the best things they told us to do though, was bottle our own fruit and vegetables. That's good, as you said, cause you can drink the juice. They told us to prepare for an unspecified amount of time, so we have 2 barrels full of wheat, and a large amount of canned and frozen foods, and are always preserving fruits and vegetables and saving other foods. Along with a generator, first aid supplies and 3 shotguns with enough ammo to hold out for a long time. We only have enough for a few months, but some people I know have gone and stocked up enough for a year or more. Basically stocking up for the Second Coming. I think if it's at all possible, stocking up for something like that, although it may or may not happen in our lifetimes, is a good thing, so you don't get caught off guard for anything at all. I'll have to take your advice with some of the things you have posted. A few of the things are something I hadn't thought of before.
