You will want to keep your food hoarding habits to yourself too.
Yup. Firearms details should likewise be kept quiet. You don't want to paint a target on yourself. I've been tempted to purchase a gasoline powered generator for emergency purposes at the house. I've resisted because a running generator makes noise and attracts attention. At a time when others have no electricity, the noise tells everyone else that you do have electricity. You probably have food too.
Having some backup water is critical. My city provides water from the aquifer below the city. It is pumped with electric pumps. There are a few storage tanks, but they won't last long in a prolonged power outage. Gas stations don't work without electricity either. A prolonged outage would find folks on bicycles to fetch water from the river. It's at least 5 miles to the nearest surface water in my area. That's a damn long way on foot or peddling a bicycle.
As I pointed out yesterday, the flag is up... Hard decisions to make here. Will be at the gulch next week, seems we will be on a buying spree when we get there...
