Found some great advice and information on survival planning on the forums. Couple questions though:
1) who has the ability to survive in winter or summer for a good 3+ month period?
2) if stocking up on gallons of water, how long are they good for when stored in a cool place?
3) in a real SHTF situation of no utilities, civil disorder, riots, etc., what type of home security measures will you need? For me, I live on a private circle that is set off main roads. There are 26 houses in my hood, and I know many of my neighbors. If my security system is out, police are nowhere to be found, etc., what types of gun(s), ammo, barricading, locks, etc., do you advise to have in place?
4) I have forced hot air on oil heat... no fireplace or alternate heat source. What is a reasonably cost effective way to change this so I have a back up? I have two small children and need to keep them babies warm!
