Teaching them to be prepared can ONLY be a good thing.

I must say that I have really enjoyed reading this thread. Lots of interesting stuff here.

See you at the bunker.

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.

We have amassed a collection of large propane tanks that we keep filled at all times in the case of a disaster. We have heaters and grills that will hook up to them which we can use to cook or boil water to drink. I think we have 6, 3- 9 gal and 5- 5 gallons.

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

monster · 01-20-2010, 07:52 AM

exactly my thought. We have a few dinky camping ones, although i guess all it takes is for one to explode....

You all don't watch Myth Busters do ya?

Here's a nice shelter for ya, merc. Make sure you move it close to the flames so you can stay all nice and toasty-warm.

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.

and This why We have Earth quake Ins

That would make a nice apron. Remember, that New Madrid fault rang the church bells in Boston.

Another hot spot is northern NY state... better know as up-US.
