That's funny. I'll bet you're right about her husband.

BTW, there is a huge preppjng contingent in Tennessee. Some say Tennessee is the prepping capital of the country with Texas a close second.

Alaskans would give either a run for their money just with their possible bags.

I have several 5 gallon sealed buckets of rice, beans, and one bucket of quinoa. I have about 3 months of water and I know how to purify water with bleach if need be.

First aid kit is essential.

I recently purchased a Biolite Stove and have tested it multiple times. It works as designed! Incredible little machine. The Biolite stove can provide emergency heat, cooking capabilities (boiling water and grilling), and electricity for cell phones, USB LED lights, battery charger, etc. Plus, the Biolite uses small wood chips or twigs as fuel, so you pretty much have an endless amount of wood at your disposal. It's designed so well that just a few hardwood twigs can maintain a 3,000 - 4,000 degree fire in the stove.

I have a couple of small motorcycles and a go-kart that would survive an EMP from a solar flare (last catastrophic one occurred in the late 1800s) or from a nuclear device detonated 30 - 40 miles above the center of the United States. Most vehicles won't survive an EMP blast simply because they now rely on computers with circuit boards. That shite will be fried. Unless you're an incredible mechanic...you will be screwed as far as transportation is concerned.

We own our home and have a tornado shelter built into the home's foundation.

We live on the edge of a metropolitan area of around 300,000 people in the suburbs. The government recently released an extensive research report on what would happen to US society if an EMP attack occurred over the central United States. Experts more than 80 percent of the country would begin to start within 2 weeks. When a disaster becomes that bleek, people will begin raiding stores and homes for food and supplies, and all morals will go out the fricking window.

Therefore, I have a plan on where to go if a prolonged distaster occurred. We would leave the city with essential supplies within the first week. Our goal is to flee to a particular destination that is approximately 35 miles away from the city and very rural. I believe staying near a large city is a death sentence.

I have fire power and ammunition for protection and hunting capabilities. However, I plan to save my ammunition and use snares and traps to catch small game.

At this time I do not have sufficient fuel and to be honest, I'm not sure how much fuel I need. I suppose that I need enough fuel to make two or three round trips to our alternate destination. Once we have all our supplies at our alternate destination, we would go into long term survivability mode. My plan is to use nature as fuel for heat and cooking instead of reliance upon gasoline.

Regardless, I need to acquire more fuel...
