595 for me, seems kinda high. But I agree it leaves a lot out of the equation. It doesn’t address a lot that I take into account for preparedness.


I don’t have a generator in the house, it’s in the garage (as are tools and some food that is tolerant to freezing) so I don’t know if it really counts if you have something available to you that is not stored within the walls of your house.

I calculated it with and without the generator and the generator only added 3-days.
