We were driving back from Basil last Sunday and a public service announce came on the radio. It was from the Department of Homeland Security. They asked if you were prepared encase of an emergency. They were talking about having a food storage supply in your home. It surprised my middle daughter. She's the last one of my grown kids who thought her parents train had ran off the track.(senility setting in) lol
Survival is many things, from being so simple, that now is a good time to buy extra shoes and warm coats, to storing food and medicine.
We've covered every base and scenario that we could think of.
Make that Sunday before last. Last Sunday was yesterday, Easter. ;)

Just had a curious thought — what’s the demographics of this thread??
I’m willing to bet that the majority of us are of the pre-nanny-state generation...
I’ll start: 59 YO/ divorced, but still friendly with the (last) ex/as I previously mentioned, urban apartment dweller/not particularly high-paid hourly worker - retail.
Thank you for your support, we can go to 5,000 posts, and then start a new thread, there is always something new and news that we need to listen to.
Homeland Security is also advertising to be prepared and they have all kinds of bulletins available......there is no reason for any American to not be prepared.
I am no longer as prepared as I was at one time, but I will be far better off, than many folks.
One thing that I never see on the list, is games, simple quiet games for the children.
In the old days, indian babies were trained to not make a sound, so as not to give away their hiding spot, or worse, scare of the game for food supply.
Keeping the kids quiet, is very important, or it would be to me, as screaming kids, without a tv or computer game, would drive me around the bend.
If one needed to leave their home, the kids will suffer.
I do not have kids close to me, but my brother would come to me and where he goes, his kids and grandkids go.........so like magic, I need a way to keep small kids happy.
Also family board games or least a couple decks of cards.
