Are You Prepared for the “Big One?”

Lord knows I'm not. Though I have a list of basic survival items stashed some place, and there's plenty of advice online, I'm frankly daunted at the thought of tying up scare dollars in 3-4 days food, water, and survival supplies for three adults. And it's not like you can buy all the stuff once, file it away and forget it. Did you know that water goes bad? Well, not exactly bad, but they do recommend that stored water supplies be replaced periodically. Likewise, food and medicines. So, I'm in denial, just like a lot of folks. I will admit that I have a hand-crank radio and some basic first aid stuff. Oh, and I love flashlights, so we have a bunch.
