Prepping for Election Day Chaos and afterward (Public Board)
Nobody here knows where I live so:
Full pantry of shelf stable foods. Everything from flour to canned chili to booze, spices, sauces, grains, etc.
All 3 cars gassed up full.
20+ gallon gas in reserve in cans
1800W power supply + small 500W power supply
3600W Generator
Even a 1000W power inverter (box that turns 12VDC from a car into two AC plugs).
(In other words, several redundant independent ways to power fridges and devices if need be)
A couple 100W solar panels to charge/ top off the power supplies
~2000 USD cash in 10s and 20s squirreled away in the house
Many cans of butane fuel for 2 butane camp stoves
3 full propane tanks
Gravity water filtration - just like the "Berkey" water filter cult, but home made from plastic buckets and micron level ceramic filters. Plus extra filters.
A Baofeng UV5R handheld HF radio that picks up police and emergency channels as well as NOAA weather radio, that I never have a clue how to configure and use. Also keying it up requires a ham license so I only have it as a transmitter for a real emergency. (I recommend these things even if you have no clue about radio operation, you can learn. Amazon sells them for $20 apiece in two packs.)
+Two pair walkies.
Let's hope I look like a dumbass after November 5th.
