I received some money recently. I have decided to put a portion of it aside to spend on retrofitting the house and packing in some supplies for 6 for a year.
I want to be able to rotate the supplies through our regular pantry. I also will be retrofitting our well to pump into a holding tank...and I am looking for a good wood cookstove, I have a big jotol in the living room.
Candles, oil lamps whatever. Your input and links would be appreciated.

(rant on) Water... you must have water. You can't live without water. Your family will have to have water. Your friends, too. You can also trade water to thirsty people for other things you need/want with one of these...

I plan on hooking up a manual pump to my drilled well.

This is portable and very useful if you have to travel further than you can haul water.

Re: Water and your water tank...
If you live near a fault zone, an earthquake can play havoc with a second floor water storage tank and damage your well. Get a Big Berky filter as a backup. You'll never be sorry.

No no earthquakes here...at least very tiny ones. I think having one on hand will be great.

This is all great stuff, I'm making a list for the upcoming hurricane season!
But I think the one question I still have is how do you store all your gear and protect it from the natural disaster?
I've got my gear spread out, some camping gear in the garage, food items near the kitchen, guns and ammo in the bedroom and other handy places (wink, wink).
I'm having an addition put on my home and asked the builder to 'harden' the new connecting hallway, door on either end and 3/4" plywood over 6" walls that includes my new utility closet (HVAC and water heater) so I can keep gear there also.
Any other ideas?

Water is not a problem with my home, so my supplies are on the ground floor in a storage room that I am preparing.
