If something HUGE was to happen ..

[MaDuggar]

... how long could you survive with what you have in your house right now?

Do you have any tins/bottled water etc put away in case of a emergency?

Have been frealing myself out reading some wacky conspiray sites (all baging on about something huge happeneing in the next 2 weeks) - Im not be;lieveing it, but it has made me think that one day there could be an event and I probably would only last a week with my store cupboard!

makes a change from a good ol'fashioned Pandemic doesn't it!

If it was as big as Yellowstone for example, not sure they'd be power anywhere for fridges! Best we all make a quick DIY wind turbine before the 13th!!!

On the loo roll issue - we've got car magazines that'll into the next century!

Do I need a gun then?

Apparantly we need to bury our shit in the garden!

Just remembered we have a well in our basement. We should be fine.

Where do you live BeenBeta .....

I'd have to put my fish in the garden ponds then and drink the aquarium water... I never have bottled water in! If the freezer was running we'd be ok for a few weeks as the dry goods are reasonably well stocked too.

Bloody ages - after I showed the last zombie-plan thread to my DH he went mad buying survival stuff on t'internet. When that disaster comes, we're def ready in the howdid household..

They have been chuntering about Yellowstone for a while though... I think I'd prefer a Pandemic as my Apocalyse of choice.

We live in an old house.

howdid - ohhh what do you have? I am seriously thinking about being prepared ...

Gosh i have just read through that site and im all jittery now.

Luckily i have stores of everything from water/milk/food to bog roll, matches, candels, medication ect.

Not sure how much help that would be if the world ended or WWIII started. worried now emotion

SSS - I prefer the giant green fireball that is hurtling towards us :)

If something is gping to happen to wipe us all out i hope it is quick and painless and we don't know about it in time to freak out.

Tits they seem intelligent people (well soem of them) so I am slightly jittery myself! Even though nothing is likely to happen next week, i am considering stocking up on a few thinsg jsut in case

I'm off to Asda to stock up on Ben and Jerrys.

I have a basement but no well. I want a well now.

911 scared me. I bought supplies, I bought tape for the windows, I planned.

Bird flu scared me witless. I made Plans and Lists and Shopped etc. The most exciting thing was one of my mum's chickens dying and being collected by a suited and booted bod from DEFRA.

Swine flu, again bugger all happened. I am all Pandemic'd out. I think on reflection a dash of aliens would be most exciting. Yellowstone will just be a bloody awkward nusiance. Unless you live a bit too close obviously.

Remember, if the world ends next week, you heard it here first ...

I have a pig torch and a cow torch at least they are dynamo torches.

If the world ends, we won't need any food

You cannot IMAGINE the stuff we have in the now named 'oh-fuck-ruck-sack' (so called because in the event we need to retrieve it from under the stairs we will inevitably be yelling, "oh fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck FUCK.") - I give you a random selection..

1: a trillion vitamin tables
2: water purification stuff
3: air filter masks
4: a geiger counter (I kid you not..)
5: wound powder
6: a compass
7: one serious mother-fecker leatherman penknife thingy (suitable for slaughtering wildlife up to and including giraffe size, from what I can make out)
8: wind up radios and torches (the type that don't need batteries)
9: survival sleeping bags
10: basic meds (inhalers etc) to last a couple of months.

etc etc etc ad nauseum.

you get the gist. So - if the worst comes, you're all invited over to our place

Anyone watch @Life After Apocolypse' last week on Channel 5? was very good but very scary. Not much hope for many really :(

Well a year ago if you asked me that question it would have been bloody ages. Maybe at least a couple of months.

However with all the building work dh found my swine flu stash and has been making me (us) eat it up.

If I never see another tin of M&S chicken in white sauce it will be too soon.

yikes @ slaughtering giraffes

Yup, we get a lot of those in SW london :-)
