NBC has published an article about home and auto prep for a blizzard.

Although my opinion differs on a few points, I think that overall this article might help a normally unprepared person consider the risks and prepare to shelter in place during a blizzard or extended power outage.

Where are we gonna put it?

I'm looking for a true pocket/pack fishing rod. Does anyone have any experience with one of the ultra small rods? I know the companies that make real rods have some that collapse down to about 14" that expands to a 5' plus rod. I've got a multi-piece rod that's similar. It works great & the case it came in was perfect back when I was driving a pickup. I'm looking for a much smaller setup to put in the car trunk. Think about 1" diameter by 8" long that expands to be a decent size rod.
