In 1987, we survived a very large earthquake in Southern California. All of a sudden, we didn’t have use of our toilets. Thankfully, my husband knew how to make one for us. It was a Home Depot bucket, lined with a strong trash bag, some water in it, a bit of bleach, and we were good to go (so to speak). I don’t know if you have other options to suggest, but that one worked well in the city, and for me, a fussy person.
We were sitting here making a list of what we don’t have yet. Your post was so practical, I want to send you your favorite candy. Gloves!! Yes, we always have them, but not always in the best shape. Work gloves, gloves that keep you warm, and surgical gloves (I used the surgical to pick up dog poop), are must haves. Tweezers – grabbing wood for the fire, you don’t want to live with a big splinter for days. I’ve written down the items in your post. Great information!
