I'm not a fear-monger. And I have a two-week supply of food, water and yes, tamiflu. Other basic medications. Prescription meds. First aid. Everything but a shotgun.

We used to always have a two week supply of food on hand, but the kids have amazing appetites, and the two week supply lasts about 4 days now. We need a bigger pantry.

Big grain of salt there.

We have some stuff. Our pantry actually has a bit of food in it, some of which is expired. But in a bad situation, eating a can of peaches that's 3 months past it's 'best by' date is better than the alternative.
