Possible apocalyptic event unfolding, need advice...quick

nolaegghead

Not yet in the attic with a few bottles of warm water, a long fading buzz, a chain saw that won't start, and a pocket knife from woot! that probably just about paid for itself.  

Probably not, definitely not, a chance greater than a 0.001 percent.  But people are skeerd. (here)  And when people are skeerd, suddenly it will turn into Florida.  Or something, no offense to FL, they just have lots of people and a legal mandate to make public any police action.  (note to people:  hyperbole)

I digress.  Please, in context of your household, list the preparedness you have currently and the supplies and provisions you would need/like to survive an upcoming apocalytic event.  I find this exercise can be good for team building and soul exposure.

Do you have a generator or 5?  Caloric intake graphed over time:  when do you die of starvation or start looting?  Booze: how long will you last?  Water is down: what vegetation can you "rambo" into drinking water with a vice grip?  Personal hygiene: where do you/what do you do when there's an impending fiber induced deuce?   Neighbor's yard?  (better than your yard (i would say yes))

When does the greater good turn into personal survival that's antithetical to others?

This is just a forum denizen exercise designed as a personality test, no relationship in any way to my current situation.

I'm just going to hit the hay, but when I get up I'll go first.

I'm good food-wise; I still have a few hundred cans of tuna leftover from Y2K.

Some of the cans are bigger than when I bought them a decade or so ago. I guess that is just the tuna inside growing over the years so my six ounce cans now have ten ounces of fish. Sweet bonus!!

Strange, I am not a prepper by intent, but we will be alright. I like our chances for survival.

Gulfcoastguy

Well I figure that I will live one or two months longer than my supply of prescription medications so no problems. Besides the looters from New Orleans will kick in my door before I run out.

frazzdaddy

My neighbor is a prepper with a 5 year supply to feed 100. I just have to join his militia. What do ya think?

Just make a raft out of empty EW bottles. You’ll be fine....

johnmitchell

Don't forget the Swiss Army knife. You could come across Ron's wine stash with no way to open the bottles

Apparently you are sleeping in? Or has a sudden levee breach flooded Algiers? 

You raise some lighthearted and some very serious questions. Looking forward to your follow up.

I just checked, and have 500+ lbs of lump. I’m good. 

Seriously though, I hope y’all are ok. I still have Harvey PTSD, even though we made it through unscathed. You made it through Katrina, which was much much worse. Stay safe, my friend. 

fiber_induced_deuce

I am troubled even suggesting this Brother, but consider avoiding fiber until the sewage coast is clear.  Cheese, cheese, more cheese.

milesvdustin

I have 4 cases of MREs, lots of water, lots of frozen meat, and about 800 pounds of lump and 100 pounds of briquettes. 

YEMTrey

Enough beer, wine, whiskey and rum to keep me loaded until the problem is over or I die. Whichever comes first.

fishlessman

i knew a guy whos father used to save all his fiber induced deuces in 5 gallon plaster buckets, hundreds and hundreds of them up in bar harbor. become a sheet rocker

1voyager

Plenty of wine, rounds, beef and Rockwood. We're ready in Southern Colorado.

MaskedMarvel

When it hits the fan, I’m just going to nola’s House. 

Thats our plan. 

HendersonTRKing

Evolution has killed me into a false sense of security. And Amazon.  Climate change?  Apocalypses?  What, Me Worry?

For the many of you out there far smarter than me:  Pls be and remain prepared. Sht is real and getting realer. 

fishlessman

oh no, the last ferry is leaving

Yes, I use that high water vehicle for "foraging" for Evan WIlliams.

@fishlessman dude, you live in a world that's a cross between a Stephen King novel and 50 Shades of brown.  That's nuts!  (or nutty in consistency)
