Subject: RE: BS: can you face a natural disaster?
I can have everything except hurricanes and tsunamis. We have packed duplicates of important documents and a few, very portable, heirlooms/keepsakes. We would most likely have to evacuate because of wildfire (a few years back one claimed 64 houses south of town). For other events there’s food on the shelves, in the freezer, and so on — not the prepper stuff, but stuff we usually eat. We have camping gear. We can hold out for a week or more.

Water? We have filters — we live in outdoor country, after all.

The biggest disaster is if Yellowstone* blows its top again. In that case, bend over and kiss your ass goodbye. THAT would have worldwide effects.

*two hours north by car.
