It’s time for week 4 of our preparedness shopping trip adventures! I hope you’re ready for another scintillating shopping list. If you’ve been following these posts, you should already have containers, water, food and the like. Now it’s time to add in some helpful tools and utensils that will be necessary to help you thrive in a disaster.
* 2 packages of eating utensils, paper cups and paper plates
* 2 rolls of paper towels
* 4 rolls of toilet paper
* Liquid dish soap
* Matches (waterproof is a good idea)
* Latex or Nitrile gloves
* Unscented liquid bleach (for water purification or other cleaning)
If you take the time to shop around at dollar stores, canned food warehouses or other discount-type establishments, you could get all this for under $20. Shelling out a crisp Jackson now could make you very thankful later!
If your waterlines have been damaged and the water needs to be purified there are two ways to do this. If you have electricity or have a butane burner, you can bring the water to a rolling boil for 3-5 minutes. If you do not have electricity you can use household liquid bleach (not scented or colorsafe). Add 16 drops (like from a medicine dropper, not 16 pours) per gallon of water, stir and let stand for 30 minutes.
