Good info.
But it also says, "Do not worry about tomorrow because today has enough worries of it's own".

Got used to hurricanes so even here, and with the truck camper we could be self contained even for power as long as the sun came back out! Also have a generator. Ask me in another two weeks if we survive two weeks with a dog in a short bed truck camper with dehydrated veggies!!
I would say I have enough food in the rv and storage shed to get along for quite a while. Power for our outside freezer would be a problem, but we kept three different homes in Florida and us from losing freezer and refrigerator food for three days until we ran out of gas and nobody could buy any! The only thing we wouldn't have is fresh produce.

Clary, I have a question for you...
-What do you think of the British Berkefeld gravity water filters?.... Just wondering if you had any experience or knowledge about this. Thanks for any insight you can offer.

I am getting concerned about the need for emergency preparedness - I have been reading some worrying things about the financial crisis and currency collapse and that they may lead to shortages of food/essential supplies. I would like to start preparing. Are there any good books on what should be done?

Clary, I have a question for you - since you're our resident preparedness expert.
What do you think of the British Berkefeld gravity water filters? I was all set to get one on the recommendation of Sassy Knutson, the Vegan Coach, but when I looked at some of the reviews at Amazon, I'm not sure. (The main objection at Amazon from a very few reviewers was that the company's claims for purity were not truly verified.)

Sel--
I thought of your post here when I received an article from a Latter-Day-Saint friend of mine today. --a preparedness plan with suggestions for each day in the month of February, for those who want to get started NOW. Every suggestion may not apply to a particular person's goals, or family size, etc., but the article contains lots of really good "getting-started" ideas :
"Preparing a Day at a Time"
