items during calamities David Harmon wrote: Of course. But if you had a few minutes warning about a calamity, do you think you would be the only one trying to get more gas and cash? -- Jean B.
items during calamities Brooklyn1 wrote: Well, I generally have at least half a tank of gas, which will get me pretty far in my Prius. And I have some gas (hmmm, what octane?) in the garage too. I always use cash, but stopped carrying emergency money and should rectify that. I usually have some, er, toiletries in the car. I see I should beef up my emergency supplies for man and beast and have them housed in such a way that they can just be grabbed. I wonder how one would corral three skittish cats quickly? -- Jean B.

items during calamities "Jean B." wrote: Maybe Kalmia lives like me. I always fill up just before I arrive home, and I keep a couple of five gallon gas cans filled in my shed. Cash is never a problem... I'm used to paying in cash, I've never once used an ATM but as an adult I can't remember ever leaving home with less than a Grand in my wallet, with today's interest rates I keep quite a bit of cash on hand. In a real emergency that requires leaving the area I'd not concern myself much about food, I'd probably grab a case of beer from my fridge and all the cans of SPAM and beans I can carry... and my cats, a litter pan, and cat food, their carriers too, their meds and mine. I don't need to bring TP, I always have a couple three rolls of nice soft Bounty paper towels in my car. And naturally I always have a first aid kit, flashlight, jumper cables, and a small tool box in my car... I have a hank of nylon rope and a 50' web towing strap with hooks too. I probably have more emergency stuff already in my car than I can think of right now, I also have an ice chest in my car.
