What did you neglect in your preps?

[Ken Ford]

I found a few problems with my preps during this emergency.
We didn’t get hit hard, and I had plenty in my RV, but I’ve let my gasoline stash get low. Many areas close to me will have a week or more without power, and fuel stations are had if not impossible to find or get to before they run out.

I would have lasted 3 days at best.

I should have set my generator hookup months ago. Ended up having to do so after the storm. Not enough fuel, then again there would never be enough. Expecting to not get power for another week or two. If it shows up early that would be great.

Good post. I find this more useful than lists of "what to have" because end of the day, somd is not necessary or just overkill. For me, being a minimalist (I have a cache in multiple southeastern areas and up to the north (all achievable by different means of transpo or by foot if necessary),my shortcoming is comms. I have yet to establish a comms plan if towers went down.

Water. I'm down to 1 case after I filled all the empty spaces in my freezers with water bottles

I forgot to pick up a respirator for chlorine gas.

My wife had to go to S. C. to take fuel and a Generator to her brother. The one thing I realized was I did not have any waders or even knee high muck boots for walking in flooded areas. Luckily I did not have to, but if did... I would have been up Poop Creek.

I am also rethinking my first aid supplies. Seems a little lacking after some of the things I have heard the last couple of days.

due to weight, water is defiantly an issue for me....I have several cases, however that will not last for long!!! hard to maintain a satisfactory amount!!!
