what if
this is a question i ask myself all the time. when outside filling the water trough-what if the power went out. when i am at work, how would i get out of here or what route to get home or how to get to another location.
todays what if question is another one i ponder allot due to the fact that i heat with wood. but heres the scenario, you get the phone call at work your house is one fire, devastating yes, especially if pets are in the home, but.....are you prepped for this do you have food and clothing else where?
i had been talked at this week about the redundancy of carrying many ways of starting a fire in the wilds as a comfoting thought- to be that prepared, i stil see it as a lack of preperation and depedning on something so many ways, but i digress, this is where i have stored food and clothing for myself and wife she also has a second pair of glasses, we have extra hygeine stuff to last a few months,also stored in fire proof containers are extra cash and valuables as well as copies of important papers.
being prepared for any event in life means the comfort and satisfaction and there fore less stress should something occur, i mean why else do we prepare? it is so when something does happen we can continue to live as close as possible to the way we were doing pre event that is what take sthe stress away.
so i would like to hear from nell67 on this as it happened to her a few years ago and could shed allot of valuable insight as to what she would have liked to had in another loction to make her life easier and less stressful

. Kinda makes folks re-evaluate whats really important. We dont' have indoor heat now. it was 30 degrees in my bedroom this morning when I woke up. If I didn't have to pay the bills / earn a paycheck, I'd have stayed my cold a** in the warm bed and not got up till it was warmer. I thnk it has a lot to do with our imagined "level of relative comfort" we are willing to accept, and I think that most people today are just outright spoiled.
