Kartographer :“There is no greater disaster than to underestimate danger.
Underestimation can be fatal.”
As the LDS say “When the emergency is upon us the time for preparedness has past.”
great bump!
Thanks for the ping. I used to have some of this stuff bookmarked—but that computer bit the dust - course it is also around here somewhere as a hard copy. Been working diligently now for a couple of decades, but my list of things for prepping never goes to zero.
I bought some calcium hyperchlorite. And it came in a very good container, so I left it that way. Checked it every 3 months or so. Well, one day I checked and things were not good. The shelf it was on and some metal gadgets were kinda damaged by it. It some how ate through the container and began soaking up the moisture in the air.
I now know I should have put it in a bag stored in a glass jar with a plastic lid. I am not sure what to do with what remains. I have it stored, but it has absorbed moisture and changed colors.
I really don’t know if it would still be useful for sanitization. I searched on ways to dispose of it, but didn’t find anything that I had confidence in. So I have it double bagged in a glass container.
Glad to have this thread to refresh my memory on Kart’s great advice and links to various topics.
I read a lot of Selco and articles about Argentina and Venezuela back then. It was all very helpful.
So a big thank you to Kart for posting all that stuff back then. And thanks to you TIK for all the recent pings.
Was in my local Tractor Supply this morning, and noticed they have a “10 bags per customer” limit on wood pellets for stoves.
I thought those things commonly sold by the pallet.
And it’s only October.
