I know I should carry/keep water in my car but Florida car temps in summer are unforgiving. Plastic is out, so I’m guessing metal canteens?

John, how about a 56 yr old woman who last shot a shotgun at a row of cans when she was 16yrs old? lol My daughter and SIL are avid pistol shooters. I was thinking of having them teach me on their 9mm but maybe I should start with a .22?

Just coming across your site in last last 2 days.This is a great article! Lost my roof during hurricane Charley. No power for 2 weeks (no gas stations could pump gas, either). We must have had a microburst near my house, bc my friend just a mile or 2 down the road never lost power! Needless to say, I was NOT prepared except basic Florida “batten down the hatches” (plywood on windows, bathtub full of water). Grateful for my friends opening up their house to me and my 2 kids. But I NEVER want to feel that helpless again! The chaos at the stores and the gas stations even when there is a “disturbance” in the tropics is enough to make people go crazy. So much smarter to have your necessities on hand at all times. ps-why didn’t I ever think outside of the box, i.e. sparkling water, bakery breads???? DUH!

No activity yet.
