I have enough for me and my father who I help care for. I have enough food,meds and ammo for 2 people. You can't help everyone and their famly an friends. More people means less supplies.

It is how quickly even a few people effect the equation. For example; if I have enough food for 4 people for 12 months, I have enough food for 6 people for 8 months, or 8 people for 6 months. Going from 4 people to 8 isn't many, but if a long term disaster hits outside of the growing season taking in too many people is asking for hunger and disease. And it isn't a problem that can be solved with an, "We all will chip in." attitude. That is a basic requirement in any disaster. The question will be "What is the minimum that my family has to have to survive this situation?" When you have answered that, you can determine what you will do when friends and family show up. <br /><br />I am not trying to be negative, but one of the keys to survival is realistically examining the situation.<br /><br />p.s. That "carload" will include people clothes, pets, personal items etc. How much food, medicine, etc, will they actually be bringing?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-17712906007982032252011-10-01T07:47:53.756-04:002011-10-01T07:47:53.756-04:00Craig: It's good to have a plan in place.

It is pretty remote, tucked away in a nice, rarely visited little corner, yet only an hour away from my house. There is a lake and river nearby, and they have a well. My supplies can be quickly loaded into the truck, and hauled up there. If not, a couple days' hike will get us there. I'm ready for either case...Mayberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07664966137470121099noreply@blogger.com
