Water Prepping is essential for survival. I think you can last 3 or 4 days without it. You can never have enough and in a natural disaster your tap water may become unsafe to drink...prep so you're not forced into putting yourself in a unsafe or dangerous situation trying to find some.

Tip -if you know you are going to have to 'shelter in place' fill your tubs and sinks with water as soon as possible just in case you lose your source of water for awhile.

Tip - Figure at least 3-4 gallons of water per day for each person. for 1 person per week it's at least 21 gallons of water and that is the bare minimum!

I've decided to invest in 3 5 gallon water buckets to put filtered water in. will use hydrogen peroxide(instead of bleach)to keep it clean...looking on Amazon for something *affordable*now

Some Good News:

Previously, NOAA and the Navy reported that they would no longer be sharing satellite information about hurricanes past the end of June. They are in the process of modernizing the system. However, the Navy issued a statement last week that "after feedback from government partners" they will continue to distribute the data "until the sensor fails or the program formally ends in September 2026."

I like Besame's idea of making lists for planning for emergencies, such as a list of all the things she will want to grab if she has to run out the door to evacuate.

I keep a lot of this gear in a tote as I use it for camping as well. Everything is small enough to fit in a 60L backpack, which is packed along side it. Water filtration system, solar chargers, solar am/fm radio, power banks, head lamps, GPS tracker, small portable cook stove, fuel for stove, first aid kit, some dehydrated foods, lightweight rain gear. I wouldn't survive a zombie attack with it but it would buy some time in some natural disaster scenarios.

A bugout bag is great to have, yours sounds heavy but useful & complete! especially GPS tracker(i only have a compass ) a solar charger which i don't have but need to look into it

and i need to pick up a small camp stove but wondering do i really need it? Maybe if i was going into mountains?? i have a filtration straw but i don't find it good enough or i guess i don't trust it so i need to look into something else the rest of what you mentioned i have but ive included a ferro rod, tinder, a Bic, an axe, a knife & small waterstone and at times maps, in bear country, a rifle or 45 and bear spray
