This is my point. When Katrina hits or the ice storm hits, it's no big deal. Planned for and the plan kicks in. In most cases, it will get resolved in and some resemblance to normal resumes within a week. Why suffer and make it dicey when it can be easy enough to ride out with a little planning.
A kerosene lantern or two......a Coleman 2 burner gas campstove if you have an electric range or cooktop. You do gotta have a propane tank to run it, however. Or just cook one a gas or charcoal grill.
Milk? It only takes a box of the powdered stuff from the store. They even sell it it quart sized pouches. When mixed fresh, it smells and tastes like milk replacement for a calf. Give it a day and it tastes like normal milk. So idiotic to run out and buy milk at the last second. And on and on and on on the food, etc. Most of us don't realize it but we have 50 gallons of potable water in our hot water tanks. Nurse that along and you can get by for a while.....and with enough advance warning, fill the bathtub with water. If it was that or nothing, I'd drink it.
BTW, I'm not talking about any doomsday scenarios. Just the ability to ride out normal stuff that can and has happened and do so in comfort. And that now has to include short term man made disasters like a terrorist blowing something up to put the hurt on a whole bunch of us.
On the doomsday stuff, I had a client once who told me he had just bought another case of .223 ammo. Another case? How many cases do you already have.....he had 10. For what? To fend off the hordes.
I got to thinking about that one and considering my age, decided if it came down to that, I'd only need one bullet and I'd use it on myself. If I've got to shoot all my friends and neighbors coming after my little stash, that isn't a world I want to live in anyway.

Today's Featured Article - A Belt Pulley? Really Doing Something? - by Chris Pratt. Belt Pulleys! Most of us conjure up a picture of a massive thresher with a wide belt lazily arching to a tractor 35 feet away throwing a cloud of dust, straw and grain, and while nostalgic, not too practical a method of using our tractors. While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
