More on preparedness;

Hello again, My day went well, a bit cold but nothing compared to so Idaho. 11/2 ft of snow Up to 5 ft in some places.
Lets hope we don't have to go out in the snow to survive a holocaust of some kind. What to do in that case?

The very first thing, make sure everyone is safe and not injured.

 Well here we have it, a problem.Lets say all you have is a coat (pray a long one), lets get real here, surly you can find something to make a crude shelter out of. First see how much snow there is. Then if enough to make snow balls start making an igloo type of shelter. Gather some wood  and leaves, pine, oak etc. cover floor with them.

 See what else is lying around from the earthquake, tornado, or what. Boards ( watch out for nails, turn them into the ground or each other) look for anything to lean them on Cover with cardboard, tarp, anything to make a windbreak. I have in my kit a space blanket. very thin and easy to carry in kit. very warm to lay under over or wrap up in.
  
  The main thing you have to learn in surviving is, shelter, food, and water. If you have those things you'll make it. And above all keep things clean. The people in Haiti have Colora because of poor sanitation.

Another subject to discuss

Be prepared

What is going to happen today? well with ongoing earthquakes and disasters, will we survive?

Do we all have an emergency kit on hand?

Where is it kept? Can it be gotten in a hurry, or will it be buried in a pile of rubble?

Plenty of water stored up. I keep all of my milk cartons and clean them with a little bleach.

Make sure and change the water periodically . If you can't remember to do that then keep a

bottle of food grade peroxide on hand. 7 drops per gallon will purify for drinking. ( peroxide is drinkable at that level).

Dried food that can be eaten without cooking is always good. I have a vacuum packer that I keep thing packed with. Things will keep for up to 2 yrs.
