Continuing on in the Prep Challenge series.
<b>PART THREE - FOURTEEN DAYS INTO THE SCENARIO</b>
OK, you've survived the four day challenge. Now it's fourteen days since the power went poof!
Mid-August, same conditions.
- NO grid power
- NO flow of natural gas in the pipeline
- NO water from the municipal water system
- NO municipal sewage system function
- AND it's the fourteenth day of the centralized utilities failure IN AUGUST.
<i>Okay Homemakers, TSHTF and the next meal is up to you. Dig into your preps and see what meal you can put on the table.
Test your pantry, your skills and your creativity.
A real meal, one night this week.
Nothing fresh unless from you own productions: garden, dairy, and such.
Share your menu, weakness and strengths discovered, how well your family liked the meal, tips for other homemakers.
GOOD LUCK</i>
The meal must be something your family will willingly eat and hopefully look forward to having. Menus please, cooking methods, clean up methods, and if you care to, the recipes.
<b>PART FOUR - THIRTY DAYS INTO THE SCENARIO</b>
Same conditions as above, but now it's say, September 5th.
Thirty days in so here are some complications:
For us folks with light duty home-owner generators - your rig packed it in seven days earlier.
For the folks with heavier duty generator rigs - your machine is beginning to put out fluctuating power quality.
For the folks with photovoltaic set-ups - a storm has damaged fifty percent of your PV panels.
For you folks taking water out of a stream or lake - an upstream neighbor has stupidly allowed a large amount of used motor oil, pesticide, or other toxic chemical to wash into the water body.
For everyone living in the urban/suburban areas - you are beginning to draw the attention of your less well prepared neighbors.
Please respond to both Parts Three AND Four.
.....Alan.
