I agree that 3 days is not long enough and that's why I've gone with a 2 week supply. I know that 2 weeks is somewhat arbitrary and many who frequent this site may not think that is nearly long enough, but so be it.

I am preparing for an earthquake ( the most likely major disaster to occur in my area.) I am assuming that my house will be an inaccessible pile of wood and brick. But staying put is absolutely my number one goal. With that in mind, I store my supplies and gear away from my house in my 19' travel trailer. It is self-contained with propane fridge, furnace, lights, shower, and toilet. (Of course, in mid-winter the plumbing wont be working.)

If I need to bug out then I can hook up my truck in 15 minutes and simply haul the whole thing down the interstate either east, west, north, or south. Or I can transfer my gear to my truck bed and head out sans trailer. I'll get about 275 miles away on one tank hauling the trailer, or about 400 miles away without it. If the roads are impassible then out come the ATV's, which I keep gassed up. I can get 80 miles on one tank, and I can carry gas cans strapped on the racks to increase my range, along with enough gear to survive, albeit uncomfortably.

But again, shelter in place is my primary goal. And unless I am seriously injured and helpless I will not be going to a public shelter.
