Is there a Mormon cannery in your area? Might be a cheap and easy way to stock up on some necessities.

I haven't done it, but heres a blog post by someone who has:

A big concern I have is my wife. She's in med school, and depending what she specializes in, if she has patients and civil unrest or a Katrina type event occurs, she's going to feel obligated to go to the hospital and help out. That's just who she is and I love her for it, but I worry about safety. I doubt the hospital would be cool with me following her around with an AK slung over my shoulder...but I know I'd want to.

About the best plan I've come up with is a used, non flashy car..drive her to hospital. Long gun secured in vehicle, high capacity pistol concealed and stick as close to her as possible.

Of course that leaves the home vulnerable...

Just doesn't seem to be many "good" options in that scenario.

Bump.

I'm certainly not ready for the end of the world yet...but I'd be pretty self sufficient in a local disaster.

Wife and I normally go grocery shopping weekly (fruits and veggies have this funny tendency to go bad). This week we've been busy,tired, name your excuse. Had no trouble making meals and being perfectly happy for another week. (and honestly could have gone another month, but there was no reason to do so)

Just a reminder that you don't have to be ready for zombies or the apocalypse for a bit of planning when it comes to food to pay off.

Nope, I trust that the fed gov and FEMA have my best interests in mind and trust the almight govt to protect and care for me in any and all situations.
