Are you all prepped already in case something big does happen in the next two months or so?

Maybe we can help each other out on AU and create a list.
(Made one last year, but it would take a while to find again.)

--Food
(rice, beans, nuts, seeds, pasta, pasta sauce, crackers, peanut butter, granola bars, trail mix... )

--Water

--Paper products
(paper towels, toilet paper, tissues, paper plates/utensils)

--Trash bags

--Flashlights, batteries

--Solar lights
(for security outside -- but you can also bring some in for indoor lighting at night. Found some at the dollar store. They're not that bright, but they work.)

--Radio, batteries

--First Aid Kit
(create your own with whatever you might need)

--Personal products like soap, toothpaste, any prescriptions, vitamins, etc.

--Books, magazines, cards, board games

--Some cash

Please feel free to add to this list! Thanks!
🙏❤️

10 Ways to Purify Water
https://www.outdoorlife.co...

That's a good link for water purification -- thanks, Glyn! And am just now remembering what you told me about having a tent inside with sleeping back in case this all happens during the middle of a cold winter. Can you please tell everyone here more about that?

Years of mountain climbing experience in the high alpine … you can sleep very warm and comfortable in the outdoors with a good down 3 season or 4 season sleeping bag, thermal pad, and good tent to zero temps, even sleeping in the snow.

A home without heating you can do the same indoors even easier and warmer.

Thank you!!🙏❤️
(I wasn't able to get one last year, but will look for these items soon. The only thing is that when I have checked, they usually have a label on it that says the material "may cause cancer"... Won't buy those. Can you recommend a brand that is good?)

Good brands: REI, Northface, Mountain Hardware.

We try as hard as we want to stay away from carcinogens and we should. But we all drive. Auto fuel and natural gas used in our homes has small amounts of Benzene, and Benzene is a known carcinogen … so what are we gonna do?
