Call Me Crazy

Call us crazy (or incredibly smart) but Josh and I used our Christmas money to purchase emergency supplies. I grew up hiding behind the couch while my mom watched America's Most Wanted and then would secretly read her True Crime novels late into the night. This, coupled with my vivid imagination, has lead to a life of suspicion and 'over the shoulder' glances.

Case in point, I once told my father-in-law I wanted a few gas masks "just in case". I was not kidding.

So when Josh jokingly told me I was like these crazy people from this blog called, Modern Survival Blog, I latched on like a greedy cat. I was shocked (with hints of validation) at the extremities - nuclear radiation over Washington DC? Check. Terrorist cells targeting power and water supplies? Check. Training for zombie apocalypse? Yessss.

Here's what we bought (with heavy input from my rational husband):

330 Total Servings of Emergency Food Storage

 

Ambient Weather WR-111A Emergency Solar Hand Crank AM/FM/NOAA Digital Radion, Flashlight, Cell Phone Charger with NOAA Certified Weather Alert and Cables

Datrex Emergency Water Pouches Case of 64 for Survival Kits, Disaster Supplies, 5 Year Shelf Life

I'm still advocating for those gas masks, but I think this is a good start for now. ;)

Are YOU ready for the next natural disaster?
