I apologize if this is too far off the original thread.
A few years ago we had a bad ice storm. The power at my place in the country was out for 4 days. The roads were impassable for 2 days. Around here that is not that unusual and everybody that lives in the country is ready for just such a occurrence. We just use our regular food and keep a large supply of it on hand.
I'm good to go for a couple of weeks myself. Except maybe for water. I know that's bad but, it it hard to keep weeks worth of water on hand and fresh for a long time. So, at the first sign of trouble I fill everything up with water.
I should lay in a way to find, filter, and sanitize water. There are so many different methods I've never really figured out which one is the best for me?? Does any one have a idea on that?
Someone mentioned looters. That is not a problem in my area.
