If our house was unlivable we have a "wall tent" and a camping tent. We have the supplies to camp if needed. Concerned if house was damaged, food/water storage is in the basement. Deep freeze and extra refrigerator is in the garage.
No generator, but enough propane,lantern oil and batteries for many days.
Now to research how keep freezer going, or preserve more meat by canning. No back up for computer....
Need to keep CERT backpack/shovel in van if there was emergency on the
road.
I am loving the challenges! I hope you will do this every year! Maybe have a contest of submitted scenarios :)

I am having a blast with the challenges!
I second having someone over for dinner during canning season would not be fun! :) But I could have done it with my supplies. I have a daughter that is a vegetarian, so there is adequate food storage, currently a vegetable garden and good supply of cheese.
It would be awful to have utilities cut off for the weekend and hope it doesn't come to that..economically.

yesterday's challenge was a real challenge as I do not have 72 hour packs completely put together. The evening was easier as I am preapred to stay home as well as today!
Thank you for putting the challenges together, love it!
