Two words.....Mosins & ammo

I told your brother that I didn't think my mosin was a good defensive rifle as I couldn't reload fast enough!! But I do figure the fire ball has some extra value!

How long will 75 gallons last you? That is plenty for a few weeks - depending on your power requirements. So I would say you are set for natural disasters. I don't expect you will need that in the current situation. In the event of a Grid-Down that lasted for many months, you are far short.

No, I think I am in pretty decent shape. Only run the fridge and freezer a little each day. That is all.

That's what I'm thinking, just enough to keep the perishables cold untill they run out.

Being stuck at home with a lot of gun cleaning time made me realize I have plenty of guns and plenty of ammo but not enough gun cleaning supplies. Clearly a lot of things would work in a pinch but I am definitely going to stock up on some basics.

Last week I watched as folks were buying bottled water. I always have some on hand, but not stacked to the rafters.

1700 hrs Friday, I start fixing dinner. The water out of my kitchen faucet looked like strong tea.

Rutro.

Switch to bottled water and called the water plant. Took 14 hours to get resolved.

A drunk can cause a localized power outage, and water interruptions can happen in the best of times

90% of the population cannot deal with a real emergency. This is a big interruption but hardly a disaster and requires little effort on the population except to take care of themselves and use common sense. Unfortunately this seems to be beyond the realm of a lot of people especially the bottom feeders that always depend on the government to feed, house and cloth them and their offspring.
