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.

Thank you for your information.

I know that a lot of the LDS stored gas for Y2K, there was a lot of talk about it.

I too will stay in place, too old to run and am in a safe enough spot, except for the escaping folks from other areas.

If people are smart, they won't leave home, unless they have someplace to go.

Don't forget the Plastic drop cloths and Duct tape, that will be needed, possibly it will help in sealing out the drafts, that will show up, when there is no heat.

You do know that your frozen food won't keep long, unless you have a lot of gas for the generator.

At least you will have friends and neighbors that are of a type to help you survive. In 1991, I almost moved to Cedar City, wish that I had done so.

Twice, I have used up the stored food, once a sick husband who didn't work for 2 years, and then when I got sick, so yes it is valuable.

Did you remember extra salt and booze for trading stock?

Sending you a warm Mormon hug,
