Dr. Bill says that when we are hit with a nuclear bomb, it will shut down all water and utilities, the banks will close, as will all of the stores. There will be no food and there will be no trucks to bring the food to the towns.

Thanks for bringing your commentary to us Granny. It is needed here and now. People need to listen to Dr. Bill and take to heart his recommendations.

Now is a good time to use stored water for your plants and trees and replace it with fresh water (recommended every 6 months). Most people don't carry as much as an emergency kit within the trunks of their cars, let alone blankets or emergency food. Planning for the worst case scenario could mean life or death for any of us or our family members. If we are home when it happens that is one thing, but most of us actually leave our homes .... which is why we need to adequately plan from that perspective as well.

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Vang, who has been jailed in lieu of $2.5 million bail since the Nov. 21 shootings, will be represented by a Milwaukee-based defense team.
Vang pleaded not guilty in December to six counts of first-degree murder and three counts of attempted first-degree murder in connection with shootings that occurred after some hunters found him in one of their deer stands on private land."

EXCELLENT reminder MD!!!

My solution:
I keep 3 - 1.5 liter containers of water in the car along with a PUR water filtration system that I use for my back country camping excursions. If necessary, 48 hours the attack I'm going to start hiking home if I have to. At 10 miles per day, it will take 5 days to get home. I keep 7 MREs, the filtration system, extra cloths (including sturdy hiking boots), and survival gear (compass, maps, knife, firearm & ammo, etc) in a pack and ready to go. I never leave home without this kit in my car.

This is just my solution. Wouldn't work for everyone. The key is to examine your unique situation, take a basic action plan and adapt it to suit your own personal needs. Folks who have friends who live close to where you work could be places to pre-position supplies.

Just because I'm not posting on TM regularly anymore (and I really wish I could - I miss you folks) does not mean I've let my guard down. I'm still as prepared as I can be.

As always, stay safe folks!!! Thank you all for your research!

You are correct, it has always amazed me that people who have lived in the desert for years and still do not have a jug of water in the car.

I think that I still have a blanket and jacket in the truck, been there for 15 years and used several times..

Now the truck is like i am, we don't drive off the property, so need to remove them.

Another thing that I keep in the vehicle is a book or two, have read in several interesting places, while waiting for the problems to be solved.
