My local grocery store had pallets of bottled water in the store yesterday. They had put the 24 bottle packs on sale and customers were grabbing them up as quick as the employees were putting them on the shelves.
Canned tuna fish, peanut butter and bread were also selling out real quickly. I notices that quite a bit of the canned goods, such as canned chili and soups, had also been put on sale.
what would happen if we were to lose services for an extended period of time? the local gas stations were jammed, people were practically looting the local super markets. What’s up with the water? Doesn’t anyone keep a case or two of bottled around the house? Our rule of thumb is to have two cases per person, at all times.
My parents used to keep a trunk load of bottled water and a case of canned food in the cellar. even when I was broke, I could afford two cases of water and an 8 pack of tuna.
I always wanted to do the plywood thing but we need to figure out how/where to store it. I DVRd the episode of “Best Defense” that highlighted how to best board up your home for a SHTF scenario.
If this were an actual emergency, we would be screwed, or others would be screwed.
