Just remember that where there's smoke, there's a cook fire. And that smoke is easy to follow. When the thousands of hungry people around you smell that cookout, do you think they will stay put, or follow their noses?

That's what the guns are for
Seriously, if you know how to make a fire correctly, there will be very little smoke and you can shield the flame at night. I'm not claiming to have all the answers Glatt. My point was simply that I am prepared to do everything I can to maximinze my and my wife's chances of surviving should the shit hit the fan. Better prepared than most people I would imagine.

Hungry people will smell food even if you (the not so hungy) can't. don't cook if you don't have too.
Of course, you can turn your meat to jerkey early on when people aren't really thinking about food yet. Pretty much anything else can be eaten uncooked... or with sterno inside the house.

Which means when the really big disaster strikes, Merc's place will be easy to spot, with its 20-foot tall raging gas fire.

With this thread title continuing to show up, I thought I'd look for an earthquake hazard map to see what my risks really are. There are a bunch of maps here, and I just grabbed one. I have no idea what the numbers mean, but the colors are pretty. Looks like I'm safe from an earthquake here in DC.
