Thanks for the read! Well done. It is always interesting to see how people use their skills, tools, and how it shapes future planning.

BTW, are you laying in a small camp stove? <grin>

On another note, I've read a lot of planning for people in these forums (and others), but emergency prep for one's animals is usually lacking. Were you able to find food, etc? Does your vet have any sort of emergency plan?
