we go without power sometimes 10 days at a time..winter not a problem..throw the food outside in a cage...run the fireplace...water is gas...but summer ya gotta cook alot of food in 24 hours...we have a commerical generator..so no problems for us..but i do love when a storm comes in and the grocery looks like they just had a going out of business sale

Since I have been in The Villages (4 years), the longest power outage has been fifteen minutes. I do have a few cases of water, lots of canned goods, and always keep the car gassed up. Not a prepper, just using common sense.

How about those folks who buy gold because money will be worthless?

Most are just very gullible and let any paranoid persons statements into their head and then build on the thought in a negative way. Crazies will rant and rave to anyone that will listen. More level headed folks will just shake their head and move on. Those gullible folks are then left with the rantings of paranoid folks and no one calling them out so they attach themselves to the loud mouths.

This is just the same should the supply system be broken to our stores. Everyone differs on how they feel about this. Does it make either of us wrong? That remains to be seen. Let's hope we don't have to find out.

Borjo, most people on this planet have no idea of what you are talking about. There are very few who even want to think about it (other than the natural disasters such as tornados, hurricanes.....etc. We are preppers and we get it. Don't waste your time trying to convince people about anything else that may occur. Bravo to you for being prepared!!!

Costco has a kit you can ship to your home for 30 day supply..bet it's yummy

What??? If the worst happened the neighbor would not be coming over with his hand out -- his hand would have a gun in it and he would be coming over to take what you have, over your dead body if necessary.

Most heads are not in the sand. They may, however, be elsewhere.

I will break it down for those that are confused.

Supplies for two weeks = NORMAL
Supplies for a year. = PARINOID

No need to argue, it's simple as the above.
