Week 1 of 52: Food Preps

I am trying  to take the 52 week challenge.  Here is what I have so far:

  • 3 Jars of peanut butter
  • 1 can of chicken per family member
  • 1 can of tuna per family member
  • 10 gallons water (bottled)
  • 24 cans corn
  • 24 cans green beans
  • 24 cans sweet peas
  • 1 manual can opener
  • 1 p51 can opener
  • 1 permanent marker
I still need to purchase the following to round out my preps for the week:

  • 3 boxes of saltine crackers
  • 3 boxes of graham crackers
  • 2 packages of baby wipes
  • 1 tub of protein powder
  • 2 tubs of drink mixes 
I am also working on my disaster plan.  I am focusing on the following potential threats:

  • flooding
  • tornadoes/severe storms
  • financial crisis
  • blizzards
  • EMP
  • nuclear disaster (meltdown:live near 2 reactors)
  • nuclear disaster (dirty bomb: I live near a Military base)

    2011 Prepping Goals: Update

    I just completed another online course for the EMI. This one was on Radiological Emergency Management.  This seemed prudent due to current circumstances regarding the two reactors within a stones throw of my location.
