I want to talk about rational prepping that doesn't involve just hording lead and brass. None of this is dumbed down so use this as a spring board to research broader topics and educate yourself. If you don't understand the need to prep I can't help you.

Washing out and filling up bath tubs before a storm is smart too. You should also fill up all the water bottles and drinking glasses or jars you have in your home with drinking water. If you fill up all your cooking pots and pans before hand as well that adds up fast.

Non potable water is also useful to have on hand for flushing toilets or washing clothes or other items. Before a storm wash out and fill up your plastic trash cans with water for a large source of non potable water. In a real emergency you can also treat this water further for drinking if needed.

Sodium Hypochlorite Bleach is one of the most common water treatment chemicals used by municipalities around the world.

Prefilter your water through a sock or t-shirt and be mindful of where you are sourcing it. Not to close to roads or sources of pollution.

As we are moving into an era where federal disaster relief is facing massive cuts. Clean water storage is the most important preps to have. The simplest water prep is a fresh bottle of plain unscented bleach(sodium hypochlorite NaOCL). 1/2 tsp per five gals of water or double that for murky water.

Tomatillos are one of my favorites. They reseed and produce volunteers very easily when they are planted in a spot. Also seem to be hardier then tomatoes sometimes.

Yes Sunchokes are one of my favorite perennials along with Egyptian walking onions. Sunchokes will cause insane flatulence the first few times you eat them. But otherwise very tasty.

I agree I think a basic kit should look like things you would need to stay in a hotel, hospital or shelter for 3 days. Clothes toiletries, documents, cash and some basic food items. Once you have that you can add things like medical supplies, your survival gear and more food and cooking gear.

Also keep your old glasses as a back up if your prescription changes. They won't be as good as your new prescription but they will be close enough and better then nothing.

This guy can't manage anything right. Tesla has lost half its valuation since December and now X is broken. Nazism never pays kids. Always remember that.

Teslas market cap is now half of what it was in December. Remember kids Nazism never pays. Also what the hell is the board even doing letting that moron still be CEO? If I was an investor I would be sharpening my pitchfork. #shortesla

I would estimate half the crowd were fire fighters and the other half were clearly hammers or preppers. #hamradio #amatureradio #prepsky

If you're at all interested in community #preparedness and reliance or #prepping in general I recommend attending a NWS Skywarn weather spotter training. It's interesting and I guarentee everyone you meet will be like minded.

To be fashionable, wear as many radios as you own.

People that peel their orange skins in a single spiral are on a different plane of existence. Once you learn you'll never go back.
