I've gotten distracted with other things and haven't finished tracking down a few extras to stick in there. <br />Still working on hubby's kit for his car though... So many things, so little time.LannaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14072980040369333704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-785507893078357495.post-13089191448576717682012-03-10T04:22:53.758-06:002012-03-10T04:22:53.758-06:00Oh honey, you're speaking my language. People...Oh honey, you're speaking my language. People sound surprised when I say I can pull together a week or two's worth of groceries for a friend in need within 5-10 minutes from my pantry/freezer, and it won't even make a dent in my stash. :D<br /><br />We don't have a storm shelter, but we *do* have 2-3 places in the basement with no windows, plenty of food, some water (that's in progress - gotta clear some room in the garage for my 55-gallon water barrels), and the kids are thrilled at the idea of using their 'emergency kits' that are near the front door (at some point they'll be safely stowed away in the closet by the front door). <br /><br />I *am* light on, well, light. We don't have anything besides a few votives and outdoor camp lanterns (unsafe for inside) and a few strategically placed flashlights. So I'm on the hunt for pretty kerosene lamps and ways to turn mason jars into lamps (there's some cool stuff out there!), and making candles using non-canning mason jars (I have some with chipped rims that are still usable for non-canning purposes). Okay, yeah, sorry, this is one of my 'fun' things I do. ;)LannaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14072980040369333704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-785507893078357495.post-71105038756531147562012-03-01T14:23:05.925-06:002012-03-01T14:23:05.925-06:00It's only for a few months Sue.

I think the majority of people think it will not happen to them and get really lax about safety....and were the first to holler because fast food eateries were closed!Katididshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15568618127371786808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-785507893078357495.post-56616574867545312612012-02-29T23:51:04.072-06:002012-02-29T23:51:04.072-06:00Saw it on the news this evening!

I'd say THEY are the ones lacking brain power. Too many people think they will "be taken care of" should a real emergency occur. Something as simple as being without electric power would throw so many people into a state where they could barely function.<br /><br />Thanks for posting the list of emergency supplies you did. A good reminder for those of us who try to be prepared!Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.com
