I am not a prepper of extremes. I live in the rural midwest on a farm miles from town. I have extra water, food, and supplies around in case of a emergency. I have been without power for 4 days in the last ice storm. I have a back up generator for that and plenty of fuel. I have about a months worth of food around all the time. I have an emergency tote in the basement with a few supplies in case things get worse then that. I don't store a lot of water but, I have water filtration systems and water testing kits in that basement tote. Water is easy to find around here but, it is all so polluted already that you may not want to drink it. That is why I have the test kits.
Usually shelter in place is the best advice around here.
If I can't shelter in place then I consider my Travel Tallier part of my prepper kit. I have it ready to go at all times with food water and batteries and plenty of gasoline to get a few hundred miles away.
If things are worse then that ,,, Oh well. Nothing I can do then. Not worth losing sleep over.
I don't have any freeze dried type MRE food because it is too expensive. Good old canned food will last a long , long, time.
At least as long as I will. lol :B
