Sounds reasonable. I was just curious if you had insight into those types of water sources, given all the salt water that surrounds your AO.

[QUOTE=Costa;280938]On the topic of water and filtration:
here's a water purifier my wife researched and ordered, it works by gravity flow and supposedly gets all the contaminants... http://www.preparedplanet.com/Berkey-Water-Filters.html |

for those interested we have now started using this filter and I am really impressed with its simplicity. The water tastes good and according to the specs it leaves the desirable minerals. |

The Mountain House Beef Stew tastes just like the LRRP Beef Stew. Any outdoor store like Gander Mountain, etc should have a food section with individual meals from both. Individual meals are handy, get some and try them out. Having a few days worth would be nice but a large supply would be pricey. A case or two of mixed meat # 10 cans would be great for using with home stored rice and beans. Powdered eggs in # 10 cans are also good. http://store.honeyvillegrain.com/pow...leeggscan.aspx |
warmth
There is prepared in a kit bag and prepared at home. This post is being prepared at home for warmth. Living in the mountains, power does go out. It has been out here for up to 2 weeks in a bad snow storm. Most fireplaces look pretty but do little to heat.
MMO is to suggest that your home have a simple solution like a radiant heat stove/oven. I looked for a German one but could only get Finnish in this area -- Tulikivi. Stoking it for 2-4 hours keeps the house warm for 24. Many people have Franklin stoves which are great while burning, but not practical to keep stoked all night. Tulikivis weigh over 5000 lbs and heat up soap stone channels to keep the heat radiating for maximum time. Of course, I should point out, have some wood cut -- even if you are surrounded by woods. It needs to dry. Devil is in the details. If trying to stay warm out of doors, and you have a number of people, warmest night I ever spent was -4 F outside in a para-tepee with 7 fellow winter survival candidates. So if you have an old parachute, or something that makes a good tent (maybe a tent) and friends, it works. Merry Christmas. |

Also have a multitude of blankets, and gear to stay warm, if sleeping in other rooms without the fireplace....and Wow. The ice is really, really coming down now. :munchin Holly |

Just a thought but can you set up rain catch barrels or multiple hot water heater tanks in your house/condo? Both are cheap and look normal in the city/suburb and can hold a lot of water... |
