Many years ago a water main broke when we were living in town & we were without potable water for a week, so that's made me conscious about having extra water on hand. Real life events have taught me the lessons...I really should have more on hand than I do!<br />@Sue, I'm unprepared for long term too. I've only dipped my toe into prepping. don't really like thinking about it. *sigh*Dmariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14689601569495984413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-700826032924534249.post-34921800306597482222012-05-08T02:49:53.536-05:002012-05-08T02:49:53.536-05:00Hubby and I are always well stocked with food and ...Hubby and I are always well stocked with food and such, but woefully unprepared for a LONG term event.

I have started getting case foods and I am kind of a freak about vinegar, as it is good for so many things...that reminds me I'd better get more. - I like having batteries of every size and almost have them all. - That is smart of you to not forget your ice storm challenge even when winter is so far off. xoSherri B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03956294100834139745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-700826032924534249.post-47624127206123535022012-05-07T22:39:48.158-05:002012-05-07T22:39:48.158-05:00I do need to get lamp oil since I have none at all...I do need to get lamp oil since I have none at all. <br /><br />It always strikes me that I need sturdy boots. I hate to tie things on my feet and I hate boots, but wool socks would make them more bearable. I have rubber boots that I remove my shoes to wear barefoot, but I am only going to feed three hens or take out the garbage when it rains. My feet freeze in them. <br /><br />The one thing I won't be stockpiling is toilet paper. I just packed 1 cubic yard of white fabric into 7 boxes today. I think I might be good in the wiping dept. It is cotton knit, nice feel to it ( aka hand).Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991571309786149363noreply@blogger.com
