“Once the truck stops are empty/looted, it’s over.”
When I need to solve a problem, I go to what started the problem for me, then decide how to fix it.
In 1998, I got up one morning, got a pad and pen and said no trucks had been in this area for six months - how do I live in this house without power because it would be gone and I couldn’t buy any food because there wouldn’t be any to buy and the water wouldn’t come out of the faucet any more. I went in the bathroom and developed a way to have running water and wrote down “store toilet paper”. I went through the whole day that way to try to overcome the problems so I could live with some bit of comfort after the basics were covered.
I’m still doing that so that’s 15 years of preparing for the ultimate problem of no trucks. I get through hurricanes easily and any other reason power goes out so the preps have been there when I need them. If the power goes off and stays off for a year or more, I don’t want to see that happen to my friends, my relatives, and everyone living in this country.
How would you manage water in a townhouse? Did you drill a well in your back yard or have catchment?
