did you know the average person would have to drive to the store, load a cart with basic items, wait in a line for over and hour, then drive home again. all of this would have to be done before the superstorm hits your home. with a hurricane you have notice, but where i live in the midwest we don't have warning for tornados or earthquakes. imagine if you had all the necessary items on hand. you could grab a backpack and survive for 3 days. a duffel bag will get you through at least 5. what about an basement 'stockpile' that could last you for weeks when the power is out.
i'm not talking about a stockpile like on extreme couponers (although that would help you out also), i'm talking about a stockpile of basics you could easily survive on for 1 year without electricity, water, or gas.
today i'm starting a life long journey of being prepared. prepared for when my husband loses his job, or if one of us gets too sick to work, or if gas/electric/food prices keep going up and up and up! but more importatly, to have a sense of security so that if a tornado knocks out my power and takes off my roof we would be okay.
