Living in Florida, I have a few of the basics ready at all times.

For those who are on a budget, here's a link how how to buy the basics in 8 weeks.  (This is the standard Florida Gov. hurricane prep list.)

http://www.browardredcross.org/docs/hurricane_check_list.pdf

As you can see its a PDF so you can print it out if you like.

Of course I'd adjust it for where you live.

As for water, dont forget you can strain it through a t-shirt into a collander of charcole that drains into a pot that you can add bleach to or boil.

Also, if you're in a small town area and the power does go out while it's warm and you don't expect to get it back for a few days, expect to see a huge bar-b-que of all the meat in the fridge!  This is a great way to build up block solidarity and a sense of community.  (Unfortunately, this won't work as well in the large inner-city areas.)

I have a box called the FANBOX, because when it hits the fan, this is the box I want.

Of course you realize that we are all sounding like...Mormons now! Maybe we should have elected Romney. ;)

Well, some of us are Mormons. I've even heard the 1911 referred to as the "Mormon Gun", since John Moses Browning was one.

Preparedness is for everyone and if the SHTF, I'll be helping out my neighbors who are all of different religions.

+1 and +1 on the CASH and AMMO

If the SHTF, someone posted previously, the Amish and Quakers will be laughing....

That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."

Got cash. Cash should be small bills. Most won't be able to make change.

Good to know a pig farmer, remember the Mad Max Movies? Pig Sh** run through a "still" gives you fuel, albeit getting rid of all the Kalifornia emission controls,  the equip. will run just fine like leaded gas...
