Speaking of that end of things.....how would many of you...er...um....GO? Do any of you have a backup plan for disposal of human waste where you live?
I have an outhouse on the place but I know that most of these old-timey "solutions" have been zoned out and are now illegal in towns and cities.
We also have a toilet seat that snaps onto a 5 gal. bucket for camping trips....much more comfortable than the old chamber pot, believe me!

Butt...it was in pretty sad condition and we were getting afraid to step in to use it
Now THAT would have been TFHTS Seriously though? I think we are pretty well prepared for just about anything, short of nuclear or biological. We'd be G to G for about a year with what we have on hand right now.
If it's nuclear or biological.... I don't wanna be around afterword anyway......

I've seen your supplies, SKR8PN.....I'll definitely be comin' to your house to hunker down and sweat it out! 
You know, I'm thinking I would like to take one of my metal wheat tins that seals so tightly and fill it full of boxes of matches and lighters. That wouldn't be a bad idea, huh?
Just a stray thought that ran through the empty void between my ears......

I am with Quail ...
I will say my prayers, load the gun, already got the big mean dogs and MUM is the word... a least until the zombies clear.
Later I will be out teaching and helping others to learn how to be self sufficient.

Agreed on both counts.patandchickens said:Wouldn't it depend a whole lot on what kind of 'S' it *was*?
As a generic response, MorelCabin's seems by far the most sensible to me

Totally depends on what happened. I'm not prepping for any catastrophes here, just living life. I'm hoping I would have the decency to check in on our older neighbors and keep connected with friends and family. I think for both categories we would have a lot to offer if food scarcity became an issue.
Just not into that kind of planning, but since I try to be as self-reliant for food as possible, we do have a LOT of food in this home!
