These events make for good trial runs.
Had my GHB bag, seasonal gear, "truck kit" i.e. towstrap, wool blanket, extra food & water, spare clothing, small propane heater w/ fuel, handwarmers, assorted tools, woodsaw, etc, etc, etc.
Every since the blizzard of '93 I've continually evolved as a prepper.
These mini-events are fun since I at least get to use some of the stuff I've accumulated over the years.
Now if the power will just go out, the water freeze, roof tear off, nuclear fallout drop, bird flu hit & zombies attack I can test out all my gear.
I am SOOOO wanting this to happen too so I can try all my cool toys out too!!
