Survival and Emergency Preparedness

Her last outbreak was October. She gets her RA infusion every other month. Although, they are looking at changing her medication again. She has been referred to Washington University (part of the BJC Health System) to their specialist there to see if there is a better treatment plan she should be on.

Sadly, my wife has had shingles at least a dozen times if not more. The joys of being on RA medicine.

When the outbreak starts, she gets on the Valtrex and it helps reduce the spread and the length of the outbreak.

I wonder if you can actually make enough water to survive on with the above suggestion? I know the concept works, but never looked into how much water is created by that method. If you have several of those setups, then more doable. Yet, would one provide enough water for survival?

After looking for over a year, my wife finally found a truck that we purchased. It is used, 2023 F250 with just over 20K on the odometer. My wife spent most of the day negotiating back and forth with them on Friday and they came to an agreement Friday afternoon. It has the 6.7 Powerstroke HO. I had ...

Wife and nieces went and saw it. They enjoyed it. The wife downloaded the Angel app (I think that is what it is) and started watching the series.

We ended up with 10 inches of snow and a little over an inch of sleet. Nephews came over with their atvs and snow plows on them and cleared the driver and sidewalks, which was greatly appreciated. Now, we are dealing with the cold. Yet, that is winter in the Midwest.

We are smack dap in the path of the major winter storm. Be interesting to see how it plays out. According to the NWS just a few miles separate us from having 10+ inches of snow to having over half inch of ice. Currently, we are on the snow side, yet drive 20 minutes to south and they are supposed to...

You can't prepare for everything, start preparing for what is most common.

We followed that logic and over the years, our preparations have grown to the point that we are prepared for many things and not just the initial power outage that started down this path.
