The "preppers" may strike some as odd....
I have 60 days food and water ready to go. I also have a gas grill with two tanks of propane, two kerosene heaters with 10+ gallons of kerosene ready.
For my rifle, I have 2000+ rounds, the shotgun has 400+.... and I just scored some good prices on slug rounds for the shotgun.
Does this make me a prepper?? Maybe...
I would like to increase this to 90 days as time and money allow. I have to insure that the food is being rotated properly. I try to buy with as long a lead time as possible. Not to mention the need to bring the food into the house with some security. I typically shop at night so that the "nosey neighbor" does not see exactly what IS in my house.
So write me up as a lunatic....My wife and I would survive the inland part of Sandy with some discomfort sure...but we would stay warm, fed and safe.
Living here in Fayetteville, NC, I do not have to worry too much about a direct hit from a hurricane. THe remnants woudl be just ugly enough, thank you very much.
