Good for you, sir! My hat is off to you. I’d bet that you’re going to be very popular if/when TSHTF.

I’m not financially able to do a solar power system — or even a decent generator — but fortunately do have people I can crash with, who have a generator + sufficient fuel.

Food and water-wise, I’m OK for a few months, and will continue squirreling away what I can for as long as stuff is available.

Very good! That's the key. Speaking of water, an emergency supply of water was what started my solar project about 2015. I had a friend who was storing about 1000 gallons of water. I didn't have the space, and keeping a rotation for freshness seemed a lot of added work -- but I did have an unused 200' well. So I bought a 24vdc deep well pump and put up a couple of solar panels and used that a bit until Ghengis Bitem entered the WH... then I decided to upgrade the whole system for real emergencies!

Quite an undertaking at 78 years of age. Whew! šŸ˜‰
