How about I give you some things I did a couple years ago when we were told the military had orders to get their house in order.

I started puting water in empty milk jugs for toilets and bathing.

2.I have lots of canned food on hand. Especially meats/vegetables/lots of different tomato items/tuna/salmon/pkg.veleeta sauces/cooked bacon/catsup/mustard/olive oil for cooking and mixing for a meal/Lots of different pasta(I bought several Tupperware containers off of Etsy a couple years ago).

/BATTERIES of ALL sizes/candles in jars and clay pots if we're without electric for long and possibly heating food (if you don't cook out--or run out of fuel/Dawn -use it for lots of things-washin clothes too/freezers full-hopefully we get a notice of no electric..items can be kept for longer than thought in off freezer/toilet paper and supplies/PET FOOD/.

This is the reason why my house is very cluttered...LOL This should help give you a start. You'll think of many more better ways to prepare than I listed. BUT GET BUSY!

Great ideas, TY! I’ll double check my supplies, but I KNOW i need more batteries, Dawn, and possibly more kitten food (If i keep one. or more)

FYI I’ve been experimenting with food storage for things that aren’t recommended to store long-term. BUT there should be a way to store for longer, even if there are oils, etc, in them. So I’ve been putting cat/dog food in mylar with oxygen absorbers, to last over a year, I’m guessing 2-3 years. And in food saver bags for sooner than that. I tested this out with chocolate. LOL. Snickers bars lasted quite well in mylar for several years. So did Reese’s eggs. And Italian Baci chocolate. The chocolate wasn’t even whitish or looking old, and was as soft as if it was fresh. SO I’m guessing the pet food and whatever else I store will be similar. I haven’t tested up to 5 years yet - I have a couple more years to go to open those and partake. Hey, what I’ll sacrifice for science!

Thanks for the ideas, I will get busy!

My quick list is TP, Dawn, batteries, ketchup and mustard, and other condiments.

I think a trip to Sam’s is in order.

I remember posting the clay pot/tea light info and pics to you, way back when.

I always keep those items on hand, even though we have a fireplace and a whole house generator. You just never know.

I don’t put anything past these creeps.

Thanks for the pings! Lots of catching up to do.
