Blast, thanx for the porta-potty tip. I'll be buying one. I've already got most of my preps in the big tupperware boxes. Recently I've purchased 2, 4D batt. LED lanterns from Sportsman's Guide. They're great. 2+ wk.s of light on the low setting, readable light on high. High impact plastic cases that hold the batt.s seperately. Good supplement to my 2, V&O lanterns and Coleman stove, all kerosene fueled. I've got the tools, duct tape, handcrank radio, etc. including flat rubber stoppers, available in most hardware stores, to double seal water in bathtubs when storms threaten. Cartons of Aquablox water and liter bottles of Poland Spring water will round out water storage, along with a First Need Deluxe water purifier. By the way, you can freeze the liter bottles of Poland Spring unopened, without rupturing the bottle. Let's keep this post going, the brain-buzz is really startin to flow.
