Wind up Lanterns - LL Bean
Wind up flashlights- llBean and others.
Wind up Radio. You will never be able to buy enough batteries.
Battery operated Fan for Summer. You can use it sparingly to make the batteries last.
Every time you go to the store buy a can of something (canned meat, canned soup (not condensed), 4 pkg of toilet paper, instant coffee, canned drinks, and water.
Buy a water filter like Zero water. Rotate your water.
A gun and ammo. Find the money for this, it might just save your life.
Make a bug out bag for you and anyone at home. Keep it by the door, and keep it full of food, as much money as you can, and ammo.
Keep the car/van/truck full of gas. When you hit half a tank, fill it up. If you have to try to get out of town to family, you’ll be glad you did this.
And, last but not least pray. Talk to your local pastor (if you have one) or find a church who is also making plans. If you can’t get out of town if things go down hill, you’ll at least be able to make it to the church.
Just a few suggestions.
Don’t forget a MANUAL can opener.
