Softcore disaster : UNDER SEIGE - 04/01/11 05:26 PM
I have been reading the threads about Japan's quakes and nuclear dangers , the it struck me that other cities have gone through different kind of disaster that is not as dramatic. It is being (under seige). It happened before in Bosnia and Rwanda... political and other unrest and/or natural disaster can trap 100s or 1000s of people for weeks or even months with very little and they be on their own to manage.
So, maybe you are a prepper, maybe not. Maybe you are a prepper but 30 of your relatives came for christmas and it happened .. A huge quake destroyed communications and roads, and it would take weeks before any kind of road is passable.
You are under seige, for a reason or another...
How do you manage those miserable weeks or months ?
I think it will be of special importance to learn to RE-USE what you have on hand. Everyone has to become a McGyver. As I type this , my DW is watching someone cooking on TV. I looked at the frying pan with all that oil and said to myself : If I was under seige , that frying oil will NOT be thrown away. I would re-use it as a cooking fuel or for lighting.
