I think Looter man startled people with his perception of priorities.
We have bozos down here who have Hurricane parties in BEACH FRONT HOUSES. I'm NOT kidding.

Take inventory of what you *have*. Make lists of what you'd realistically NEED to have... and other lists of what you'd LIKE to have. Decide a plan of "attack"... how much of what each week? Budget! Shop sales, thrift stores, garage sales... and have a copy of your lists handy so you can refer to them when in doubt about an unexpected find. Keep your lists up-to-date. Know what you have and where it is. Rotate food stores. Don't forget accessories, like batteries, if needed. One step at a time... just be aware and conscious of your goals. Slow and steady still wins the race!!  
 Where words and actions disagree, the heart is revealed. Look how often the unexpected happens... and we still don't expect it. |

ladies, GOOD advise. It is so easy after reading so many posts to realize how far behind  one is knowing the limit of funds that's available to get what you know you need. OKAY, I'm asking and reminding myself, How do I eat an elephant? One bite at a time. we all will just keep putting one foot in front of the other till we can't no more.  Thanks for the encouragement!!!  cleanheart

This is a good basic list. Blankets and cots or air mattresses with a manual pump. Sleeping bags, tents that are free standing dome types can be warmer to sleep in. One may also have to customize for individual preference,climates, the types of things they can afford or have available in their region.
I have to think up two ways, one for my apartment and the event of getting kicked out of my apartment and having no way to get to where my son may be some states away, unless I walk out, and that may not be very safe. So plan B is to go up in the woods. I want to make a hideaway up past any private land and will be far enough away from the hwys where I live to stay out of trouble except for the wild critters, which may be more civil than my immediate neighbors anyhow. (* lol). arby
PS. Making a four season shelter and bringing close enough wood for a fire will be part of Plan B. luckily there is always fresh windfall every year.
As for heating my apartment temporarily ( power outtage), propane tanks and indoor outdoor quality heater that runs on propane is the only thing I can maybe store safely enough inside as i have no sheds or backyard area with this old apartment. I have plenty of river water and creek water I can boil and filter if I ran out, and can also flush the toilet with... too.
Longer terms would be up in my hideout. I will cache food. Rubbermaid containers will work for that, along with alot of digging. Marked with stones I guess, something that will stick up out of two feet of snow.
Making some wool afghans with a loom set up seems a good idea too. For me.

Fear not, for I am with you;
Be not dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you,
Yes I will help you.
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

We once lived in an old camp trailer and it wasn't very big. I got a shepherd's folding stove and put in the trailer. We had a propane heater, but only 5 gal bottles and they don't last long. If you are snowed in for months at a time you get creative. I lined the wall behind the stove with alum foil and it kept the wall cool. A shepherd's stove stores in a small space and the stovepipe can be nested into a box till needed.

Great! I've been looking for a good starter list to print off and begin checking off! I'm thankful to live where I do. It's REALLY hot for about three months, but nice the rest of the year. We don't have to rely on wood heat, the sun takes care of all that. Staying cool is harder  .

Gosh Iv got a lot to get.
I have Faraday Torches ( you shake them to make them light), and also some Dynamo Torches (by far the better, you wind them up to get light, my one will also charge a mobile phone, I could read by mine), Dynamo Lamp (can't read by it but lights up the room). All of these I got at a wonderful bargin price on Ebay. I saw a Dynamo/Solar Radio but got outbid. There is also solar powered shavers for the men.
Staying cool: make your wrists and neck cold with a cool hanky or flannel or run your wrists under cold water. A New Zealand friend of mine, had wet towels over her as she slept in an empty metal bath when it got very hot over there.

Thanks so much for this. I had seen it only briefly and meant to comment and didn't.
I've got half of these, but what a list! It certainly helps me refine and focus.
Any idea where this list came from?
All it takes to make a difference is one person.

This is a great list , the first time I saw it on Old Fluwiki I was overwhelmed. It was a Real list, of Real things, a Real person
hunted for, lacked, had some of but not enough, and it was the result of living for a year (s) in war time conditions.
From that day to this it has been my guide to collecting and storing necessities other than food.
A good reference is a good reference no matter how old it is. Sarajevo wasn't yesterday, and these items are More, not Less
necessary today.

100 Items That Disappear First in a Disaster
1. Generators
(Good ones cost dearly. Gas storage, risky. Noisy...target of thieves; maintenance, etc.)
2. Water Filters/Purifiers (Shipping delays increasing.)
3. Portable Toilets (Increasing in price every two months.)
4. Seasoned Firewood
(About $100 per cord; wood takes 6 - 12 mos. to become dried, for home uses.)
5. Lamp Oil, Wicks, Lamps (First choice: Buy CLEAR oil. If scarce, stockpile ANY!)
6. Coleman Fuel (URGENT $2.69-$3.99/gal. Impossible to stockpile too much.)
