We have been here 10 + years and have never done much more than stock pile a little water.

We have a pool and a bath tub which can be utilized if really neccesary. Hower this does not lend itself to solve portability for an evacuation.

I have seen the "30 day food supply" buckets at Sam's from time to time. It seems most of this type prep requires hot water which may be a problem depending upon the emergency.

Most of us, except for our military time, have never had to deal with an emergency preparedness situation. However I thought it would be interesting to have a discussion here. I always learn from TOTV dialogue.

What have you done or do if anything.
How long a period is a reasonable time to be prepared for? I can't imagine more than a week or maybe two. THirty days being a maximum(?).

Military MRE seem to be the only real emergency meal package. They are expensive but are designed for "survival" and easy to use.

Anyway I would like to hear your thoughts on the subject without getting into a prepper discussion that is ready for more than 30 days out (if you think longer term is required tell us why and what).
