Emergency Kit

[Chrissyb]

I know this is a strange question, but my husband ran into his ex at the store and it got me to thinking. She was getting an emergency kit ready kind like people did for Y2K. She and her husband work for the military and she is getting it for when Obama becomes president, now maybe she is parinoid or maybe she knows something we don't all that aside. My question is having ceialc disease what do we need to put in an emergency kit and where would we get it.

I was just thinking about this the other day and saw a post someone started:

Just remember to keep an eye on the expiration dates.

I will add my two cents to your question...... I believe for whatever reason that everyone needs a storage plan long term. Look at it like a food survival ins. plan. We all have health ins, car ins, life ins ( to leave for someone else!) why not a food plan. We all like to eat & there is nothing worse than being hungry. And we can use what we buy anytime we wish. It isn't like car ins or health ins - paying for something we may never use if we are lucky.

I remember the truckers strike years ago. No food on the shelf because everyone panicked & the wealthy purchased everything. I say buy when things are on sale or in bulk but don't take everything from the store shelf. I think we are in times where it may be survival of the well-thought out plan. We are living in uncertain times whether it be weather related, war, or the economy.

Jobs may go down the tube as many have already lost jobs. And if the economy goes farther down the tube the money you are saving is worthless so mmy thought is buy something you can use for long term ........in the event some crisis......

Ice storms & snow storms can cripple a region for weeks or even months. Be Prepared to weather the storm.

Nothing worse than crying hungry children as well.......

I was in the Northridge earthquake. I had an emergency kit and I was glad of it. We were supposed to stay off the roads because all the stoplights were out. We weren't supposed to drink the water and the gas and electric was off. We cooked on a camp stove on the porch. There were people sleeping in tents with no food and water. After awhile they came around with trucks of water, but I was glad that I had been neurotic enough to have an emergency kit. With celiac it is obviously a lot more important.

We have one we keep in our wine room/cellar (obviously we need more wine ). I went to Costco and bought 2 cases of the big bottles of water, a case of the organic milk in individual cartons that don't need refrigeration so the kids can have milk (they didn't have milk powder there...) applesauce, pudding cups, rice crackers, LARA bars, Mrs. May's bars, pirates booty, soup, fruit cups, tuna fish, canned chicken, children's and adults motrin and vitamins, PB that doesn't require refrigeration (for emergency use only )etc... Other than the peanut butter, I bought stuff that we would normally incorporate into lunches, snacks, etc... so that I can rotate it into the pantry and nothing goes to waste. There's no use in buying a bunch of stuff that no one will eat!! Then when I need to replenish something, I do.
