I just had a semi shtf. Just had to go through the Butte Fire in CA. I am still a bit stressed from it but I thank
God I still have my home. Electric was down for a week but I do have an old generator that I connected to my refrigerator with a extension cord. The generator is not connected to the house so my well was not working. I was not allowed to leave the area and come back so I could not buy gas for my generator or buy more water jugs. I thank God also for our firefighters.
I am seriously thinking about getting a new generator that does not cost an arm and a leg and have it connected to the house. I am not sure if I should get a gasoline, diesel or propane one yet. I wonder if any Freepers have any opinions on this.
You die because you are skinny, underweight and have a high metabolism while your fat buddy loses 15 lbs, feels better, and uses your bones to make soup and your skull to make a tureen to serve it in.
“Also watch for those who are ardent anti-preppers not only will they want your stuff they will want revenge because you was right and they will blame you for it. And they won’t all be flaming liberals.:
Maybe we should all STFU about our prepping to friends and neighbors?
Other than you guys, I don’t talk about it with ANYONE. :)

Well, I’m sure I can get a water filter. The stream in back of my house is only intermittent, however.
I’m screwed.

I would imagine they would also be extremely valuable to trade if you had a couple extra. They’re around $20 to buy now for a single ‘straw’ .... about $75 for a family system.

This is the REAL primary objective of Obama. He WILL find a way to kill the grid, killing 90% of Americans within a year.
Not me! I got enough ammo for the co-ax to take 'em all down!
