[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3133939, member: 5412"] Well, we made 9 days without electric power during an ice storm, and three more days with a generator after some friends got their power turned back on. Thank God it was winter. At night we would take the frozen stuff outside in trash bags, put in a big non insulated container, letting it get frozen hard again, and bringing it in before the sun came up, while the fireplace pretty much heated the house. Had it been summer, that scenario would have not worked. We have 25,000 gallons of water right out the back door for summer time, and a well. Always have a couple of 50lb containers of chlorine for the pool to sanitize water. One little pea sized chunk will sanitize many gallons. Food storage without refrigeration would be tough. Have to cold smoke or dry perishable proteins quickly. I could built a temp smokehouse over the fire pit in the backyard pretty easy to get the elk, deer and fish in the freezer smoked. Living in the country, we have traps, both live and leg hold to secure more protein. Plenty of ammo, etc. Yeah, I could make it a long time if need be. Not comfortable by non-disaster standards, but could make it. [/QUOTE]
