Having said that, I still have a stockpile of TP/PT and water.
Doubled up on my vitamin C/D/E/Zinc etc etc -- in case a shortage kicks in again.
Where I am, I doubt any bad shit will happen, but we are only 30 miles north of New Orleans (across the lake) and well, we know how shit can spread.
But the N.O.P.D. is quick to respond and they do not mess around (Baton Rouge too)
Our CB went with our Blazer when we sold it, haven't had one since.
And those hand held radios are only good for a couple of miles, despite them stating otherwise, trust me. Jim and I used them when traveling and if he got too far in front of me with obstacles (trucks/buildings) in between, they were useless.
I would like to look into either a CB or ham radio tho. Not sure of their prices, but maybe one day I can see about getting one or the other.
Hmmmm, I bet the guys at the Gun & Ammo shop know all about both. I might have to take a trip, get some more 9mm, and ask them about it. Hahaha
It's a bunch of Vietnam Vets and they are a blast to talk to (where I got my C&C)
Hey! Hubby was just down in NO working in some oil bottling place (?) on the conveyor belts! He said there was some bridge down there, super long, they accidently got onto, and luckily there were turnarounds?
Anyway, LOL
We do have a CB, out in the garage, so I'm going to have to have him watch those videos.
And for just around here, if we needed to hunt or something, we have these kids walkie talkies, that actually work from the house, to the back of the Christmas tree farm behind the house. They are the grandsons, so of course we had to test them. Be good in an emergency back there.
With all the canning I do, the shelves are stocked for the winter, and if I get desperate, there are a few chickens, and the male duck, that would get eaten first.
