It wasn't raining when Noah built the ark.

I am not sure if it is this book I have been reading or a feeling that I need to get off my butt and start preparing for the future. I need to get my food storage prepared. In the book I have read, and a very possible of a nuclear bomb (E BOMB) * When I used to think of nuclear bomb you think of the mushroom clowd a fast spark of light and bamb your gone not knowing what you hit you, or getting radiation afterwards, but I never thought of one hitting high in the automspehere setting off all battery operated things including fridges, anything electric, pacemakers,the plumbing in your home will be electrified, cars, cell phones, computers, and even flashlights would bring us into a 1880 time frame, what can I do to prepare? I am not going to go buy tons of stuff right now, but getting a 72 hour kit for my kids, and a three months food storage of normal food (Even if my husband lost his job or something unpredictable like that I would still be able to live off of the three months of storage) Then when you can buy a long term food storage. Most people die from contaminated water, so even if you were to fill up water from the tap right now in good water storage would come in handy later. Also if a nuclear attack or electromagnetic pulse EMP - this website sums it pretty much up. Read it!(http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article4394.htm) *Not a direct attack to kill instantly or from radiation, but to make America die from a long death from starvation and unable to survive or get around since that is what we depend on, how many of us know how to do things our ancestors did over 100 years ago? I don't* cash won't mean anything but meaningless paper, the only thing that might be of real value would be gold. How many of us know emergency preparedness? For family home evening these next couple weeks I am going to have Trent show me how to turn off all the gas/water valves and put the correct tools next to them, and so on. Ok so this is a long post but I found this idea of a simple way to spend around 8-10 dollars a week to build up your storage. There are a lot of other ideas, but one I will do is not only get battery powered flashlights, but also I want some that you can shake and don't depend on battery's, and I will also learn how to use a gun, because who knows when that will come in handy as scary as that would be. Even if it isn't my lifetime that sees more destruction than what is going on now, someone down my line will be and I hope to not only prepare myself and my children, but also that they can teach their children and so on.

Some weeks you will have leftover change. Save the change each week in a kitty to be used for the weeks you may exceed $5.00 (like wheat or milk).
You will end up with:

500 pounds of wheat
180 pounds of sugar
40 pounds of powdered milk
12 pounds of salt
10 pounds of honey
5 pounds peanut butter
45 cans of tomato soup
15 cans of cream of mushroom soup
15 cans of cream of chicken soup
24 cans of tuna
21 boxes of macaroni and cheese
500 aspirin
1000 multi-vitamins
6 pounds of yeast
6 pounds of shortening
12 pounds of macaroni

This should be enough to sustain two people for one year. For every two people in your family add $5.00 more and double or triple the amount
