Reply #25: I am prepared for a couple of months or longer. [View All]

I have a good deal of food stockpiled--I store what I eat and eat what I store. I have water, but also live near a river and I have the ability to filter and purify the water. I have different ways to cook food and also have a solar oven that works like a million bucks even in winter. Speaking of winter, we do have those here in Wisconsin so I have a means of keeping warm enough to survive. I have tons of batteries, alkaline and rechargeable, and I have 2 solar battery rechargers. I have the crank radio and flashlights, plus the shake flashlights. So I am good for awhile.

My employment has been spotty lately, so my stockpiled food has come in handy. There have been weeks when I have used some of what I have stored and skipped grocery shopping except for a few fresh items. So being prepared has already helped me and I intend to keep preparing as I have been doing, but also to improve upon my situation.
