I have to admit that I'm not prepared in the event of a disaster.

[] 3-day supply of non-perishable food
[x] Manual can opener and eating utensils
[] Supplies to care for your pets including 3-day supply of food and water, ID tags, proof of vaccinations, and veterinarian contact information (my cats are born hunters they can live off birds and rabbits)
[x] Flashlight
[x] Portable, battery-powered radio (actually I have a radio that you can wind up)
[x] Extra batteries
[] Basic first aid kit and manual
[x] Warm clothing and blankets
[] Whistle
[] Filter face masks (N95 rating)
[] List of emergency contact information
[] Photocopies of important documents (birth certificate, licenses, insurance information, etc.)
[x] Cash and coins
[x] Sanitation and hygiene items (hand sanitizer, moist towelettes, feminine hygiene products, toilet paper, etc.)
[] Household chlorine bleach and medicine dropper: 9 parts water to 1 part bleach can be used as a disinfectant, 16 drops of bleach to 1 gallon of water can be used to treat water in an emergency (do not use scented, color safe, or bleaches with added cleaners)

I guess I'm not that ready and here I thought all that was important was having a towel.

My folks would do pretty well, I think. We have everything on that list except for the filter masks (and maybe the household bleach, but we have plenty of disinfectant, a water purification pump and a bottle or two of purification pills lying around, so we're covered there).

If things go South while I'm in Oregon, on the other hand, I'll be in some trouble.

Filberts, black and huckle berries, we still get salmon up our rivers, a near overpopulation of deer, relatively mild weather. Few MAJOR population centers.

The kid across the street just handed me some fish he had caught that day. I picked several small buckets of blackberries today. Plus, I have a zucchini the size of my thigh that was hiding under the Nasturtium. So pretty much, I'm set for the year.

Man, I'll be floating down the river on my zucchini without a care in the world.

i should try growing zucchini, just as a control vegetable. my garden currently has one italian pepper and one and a half tomatoes. i blame a cold june followed by an overheated july, but i am beginning to suspect it might be me.

i actually have a good stock of water (what with getting water delivered, i always seem to have an extra case or two on hand) and canned goods (what with shopping at costco - yay, 15-packs of tuna!)....which probably means i will be murdered the first night by the ravening hordes.

I say we turn these menaces into a fuel source.

Also I wouldn't find Oregon so hot. I hate filberts.
