Re: Barber's Chair, Preparedness
Continued from "From the Barber's Chair: Preparedness Evaluation, 3"
Here is the final installment of my barber's preparedness evaluation (sorry this is late, but I had to leave town the latter part of last week):
Summation. I had about a week to think about everything. In disaster prep,you have two directions. Ramp up,or downsize. If I had my way,we would downsize everything. Use the F.R.O.G. system. Fully rely on God. Do two old people need a big chest freezer,and another on top of the fridge? Maybe a small freezer is indicated,and if you lose power,take the small loss. A really good inverter will supply power to power a lamp in the evening. A camp stove may be a better way to do hot food,especially if this happens again in the winter. Home canned water. No expiration date,doesn't go bad. Build a three-sided outhouse to place over the septic tank,during emergencies. Don't mess with the toilet at all. The idea of buying,and maintaining a large generator,and fuel for same,for an event is not appealing. In an extended emergency,the question you have to ask yourself is this. How much do I want to spend,maintain,and operate,and risk during an isolating emergency to preserve what I have. Only you can answer that question. I will close with Praise the Lord,from whom all Blessings flow!
