AI6YR BenHmm, I don't have an angle grinder/bolt cutters in my disaster prep kit... Waffle House does. What do they know that I do not know?
Oooh, that'sn an idea, push button LEDs for the bathrooms. Sure better than dropping your flashlight in the loo! 🤢 #disasterpreparedness
FreddyB Aviation Photography@ai6yr Its interesting the emphasis on power bars (I have seen it mentioned twice) and its not a bad idea
Having eaten at Waffle House on a few occasions it may be a better choice
MsMeropeWhen we first set this up out kit we planned to have enough food for 7 people for 60 days Family of 3, my dad, Izby the 90 year old neighbor, and Ed the 94 year old neighbor, and 2 cousins nearby. Well its just us 2-3 people now so that same cache is good for 140 days (3 people) and 210 days for 2.
But I want to get that to 1 full year for 3 so time to rotate old stock and add to it. Every 4 months I will check dates to rotate out before it expires (food banks take them) and spread out the hit of sourcing and buying all at the same time.
We have a good collection of potable water in food grade 50 gallon barrels as well as our water catchment system (2800 gallons and am looking to add) which is used by September for landscaping but we are near the ocean and I finally got the sign off from my wife on this and its spendy but.......

Costco actually has a decent amount of survival food.

Years ago, at my first full length (Ironman) triathlon in Florida, I took pointers from a friend who was a professional triathlete (got paid — not much — and was eligible for prize money). He suggested unwrapping a few PoweBars and slapping them on my bike frame to peel off while riding. Well... they melted to the frame and alternately came off with paint chips attached (Schwinn TT bike with nice lacquer!) or stuck in gooey globs. It was a mess.
Careful is right! 🤣
Rob Vincent 🎙️@RunRichRun @[email protected] @MsMerope @cvvhrn It's a well-kept secret that bicycle paint chips contain several essential nutrients which boost your performance. The Powerbar is just there for additional flavor.
Bekah@RunRichRun wat?😵💫.
Plenty of friends taped unopened gels to their top tube (at least one swore “they never go bad” more than two years after his last IM and still had the same ones taped), but I’ve never heard of anyone sticking open bars directly to their bike.
