I am well stocked at home but last month we were at our lake lot when the flooding was going on it Texas. Within a few hours of our arrival we were stranded. We made the best of it, and had fun "roughing" it but it made me realize that I was only prepared for an emergency at home. Since then I have a pack of essentials that I keep in my trunk.

I was tought about "being prepared as a Cub, Boyscout and later in the U.S. Army.It is so sad that there are so few posts to this very action directed and informative article. If you store 3 days of food and water, what is the worst thing that can happen? You just might have to eat the food and drink the water. I get hungry and thirsty all the time. My list of "to-do's would have been much longer. Guess I will start folding my "tin foil hat now". My wife, she keeps eating my stored food, drinking my stored water, using up the stockpile of toilet paper. Just wait until she is hungry, thirsty, and has to do the TP thing with leaves.. OUCH.. Some are prepared, most are not. Go figure
