preparedness

This is a great thread.
My wife of 26 years is very talented in the food preparation department.
She cans fresh vegetables so that we do not need refrigeration and i cure pork and venison so that we do not have to use a freezer.
During hurricane Katrina we were without electricity for 15 days and I can tell you that a butane cooker is about the handiest item you can use. Bottledwater is also very desirable, but in an emergency any water can be boiled to purity.

We actually saw desperate individuals pull knives on each other over a gallon of gasoline. Civilization breaks down very fast when people's immediate needs can not be attained.

I hope I never live thru another Katrina but you can bet your last dollar that my family is prepared.
