Actually, it'll keep you busy digging for them, instead of just standing around.
![]() Seriously though, how and where you stash your emergency gear, takes some thought.

I recently bought an emergency radio from the Red Cross when they were on campus for a safety event. It has a flashlight, a radio, of course, and a plug for cell phone charging. It works with a little crank.
But I've never really thought about being in an emergency situation. I think I should have, at least, some water and canned goods somewhere. My bare cabinets wouldn't get me far in an emergency.

![]() So what do you do if you're so poor you can't feed your family today, let alone for some unspecified week in the future? Quote:

Are you saying that, since poor people can't be prepared for natural disaster, none of us should be?
![]() I don't think Bruce was saying these folks should have been prepared, I think he was saying that those of us who can be prepared should think about it.

PS Although I can't really imagine any natural disaster happening in the 4 Corners. We don't rest on any fault zones; a hurricane would never make it this far inland; We are on top of a mesa surrounded by desert, so floods are out. It would have to be a freak snowstorm that went on for days or the Navajos finally getting fed up and going for seccesion. Last edited by SamIam; 01-15-2010 at 11:41 AM. |

No dummy, I wasn't talking about them, I was talking about us. If you have an internet connection, you can damn well afford to make some preparations for an emergency where you have to be self sufficient for a week or more. :p

And if we stock some extra, we might be able to help a neighbor. Many of my neighbors are old folks on fixed incomes.

You're all set then. With all those old folks around, you can just steal their shit while they're in the bathroom... unless they've got flowmax or something.

Big boats are out - the port is unusable. The US military is trying to send stuff in using amphibious vehicles and helicopters.

You know pretty lovely Yellowstone? That awesome tourist attraction with the really neat mud pools and geysers? Its a super volcano. HUGE well of lava storing up underneath. If that thing blows (or any of the other super volcanos around the world blow), we're all pretty well fucked. If Yellowstone blows, the North American continent is especially fucked. I believe Yellowstone is very past-due on its regular eruption.
