Plan out a 'warm room'. what to grab, how to place it, and where it all is. Cuz, by the time you have everything together and set up the inside tempture is going down fast and you need to be in that room asap. Like. Duck tape, tent, bedding, food, sleeping bag, solar panels, plastic rap, candles, lighters, flash lights, wool clothes, winter clothes, etc. You do not want to leave this room until power is restored if you can help it. Leave your car, if you have one, as a last resort to gtfo if you feel like a life is in danger.

Consider one of those single-burner butane burners to use INSIDE your house! They’re readily available, easy to operate, flame is adjustable and they run about $50. Be sure to buy at least 4 canisters of butane to fuel these (I have not always been able to find these). Gosh, I missed the internet - so add some games and books to keep yourself occupied. ❤️

The mental improvements from working out regularly are amazing, plus you’ll have a more robust mentality when SHTF. Also get vitamins/mineral supplements for when natural sources aren’t so readily available. Prioritise heating yourself in very heating a room or your entire home.

Just some general comments. When it comes to fuel ... Keep in mind that gasoline has a short shelf life. This is not a product you purchase 200 gallons of and expect it to not have degraded a year later. Especially with ethanol mixed blends. I have seen reports that the expect shelf life of those products is not even 6 months. With some people suggesting it starts to go bad even after 3 months of storage. So if you do use gasoline, you might want to look for non-ethanol blended gas. Your best bet is mom and pop convenience stores. But ask the guys who do lawn care. They are going to know where to get that type of gas because odds are pretty high that they used the non-ethanol gas in their lawn care equipment. Backups are key. I have a outdoor grill. I have an two burner camp stove. Both operate on propane. I also have a single burner that runs on white gas. I further have a single burner that runs on butane. (This one can be used indoors.) Although there is something to be said for simplicity, when it comes to food prep having options that don't rely on the same fuel can save you in an emergency. And as a rule of thumb, I keep at least two extra containers of fuel for each of the burners/grill/stoves. Anybody who has used their outdoor grill more than a few times a year knows to keep at least one extra 20 lbs cannister. And on a final note on this, anything that uses "fuel" you need to test at least once a year. This is bare min. Batteries. I keep two sets of batteries. The crappy ones for things like the remotes. And the good ones for things like flashlights and lanterns. And don't tell the kids where you keep the good ones. Also check your equipment each year and be sure to inspect the batteries. Both for ware and current voltage (get a voltmeter to check them). I don't care if Duracell tells you that battery is good for another five years. Check it. That expiration is date is based on laboratory results in a controlled environment. And on a side note regarding batteries, I have thrown away more than a few flashlights over the years. All because the flashlight was working just fine, but one or more battery inside began to bulge a little bit and gets stuck inside the flashlight with no way to remove it. Inspect them every year. Generators They are those things you buy hopefully once in your life but then never use it until there is an emergency. (Unless you are a contactor / handyman and take the genie to most of your jobsites.) But the average person is going to neglect their genie. Follow the long term storage from the manufacturer and don't keep gasoline in it (if it is a gasoline generator). Food Prep The key to food prep is two fold. FIFO (First in, first out) and stock foods your family will eat. Sure you can spend $1k on emergency foods with a 25 year shelf life, but as soon as your wife opens one up and tries to eat it, she is going to look at you like you were out of your mind spending money on that. The better solution for the average family is to get the canned goods (like the OP suggested) and stay on your A game rotating product. On a additional side note with Food prep, be sure to get multi-vitamins. If things go to crap on you for more than a week or two, you are going to need to replenish the vitamins because most of that can / emergency food are depleted of such things as part of their preparation process. And check the salt content on the foods you buy. Other than dehydration, adding salt is the main way to give food longer storage options. Especially for canned goods. Some things like frozen diners for example can have insane amounts of salt added. Battery Generators / Power banks. First of all, understand that the batteries are like any other batteries. They go bad after about 3 - 5 years. So this is something you not only need to check, but you also need to use at least once a year to ensure the battery charge will last and it isn't time to replace the battery. (Which could rival the cost of a whole new unit.) But for small devices like cellphones keep some power banks. I prefer models with digital displays so you can see how much charge is left. And as a rule of thumb, once the battery bank gets below 50% it may not be very effective at charging the device. The cell phone may be "smart" enough to detect the low power on the power bank and make for a very slow recharge if it recharges at all. Totes I've bought more totes over the years than I care to think about. For long term storage, many of them straight out suck. But a brand I have come to like is Sterilite. Specifically their "gasket box" models. The 80 quart version of this has a gasket around the top so it can become air and water tight. And it comes with six secure points when most come with just two or four and have no gaskets. This particular model can also take more weight when stacked before they show signs of being crushed than the average garden variety tote. Emergency Gear The OP talked about things like tarps and sheeting. Both are good things to have. I'd even argue tarps are better because they are heavier gauge than the sheeting. But you can roll out the sheeting to better fit the need. But if you are going to use sheeting in or on the house, be sure to have a staple gun to keep it in place. Duct tape is just going to leave a mess. One thing that the OP didn't talk about is other types of gear. As a home owner, every home needs at a minimum: shovel, axe, hand saw, hammer, yard and garden rakes, machete, and hoe. And this is just bare minimum tools. Having a variety of power tools is also helpful. I'd suggest the battery operated ones, but keep in mind those batteries need to be replaced every 3 or so years even with light use and that can get pretty expensive quick. Also, every home needs a emergency radio and a weather alert radio. The emergency radio needs to be a hand crank model. Keep spare rechargeable batteries for this. And although the OP stated it, everyone in the family needs clothes intended for physical outdoor labor. Even your wife and kids need boots and leather gloves. Odds are the only boots your wife has in her closet either are cowboy boots for the dance floor or are paper thin with fake fur around the top to look pretty on sleigh rides.

Antifreeze in boiler and hydronic piping. A freeze anywhere and no heat just like shutting down a valve even if the boiler is up to temp. A short power failure a can put your heat down and out. Usually results in multiple freeze plugs and blow outs. No brainer but your plumber likely won't clue you in if you don't ask.

This is really good information. I live in a rural area of the PNW (western WA state) and even tho I have a 9000kW generator with an automatic transfer switch connected to a 120 gallon propane tank I still do most of the things you suggest. IMHO you can never be too prepared.

Well, if you're a pork-eating prepper in Texas, I have some excellent news for you! It's practically raining bacon in some areas; the feral hog problem is so bad people will thank you for bagging them. Dry it, can it, smoke it, eat some fresh while you're at it. Just one can provide months worth of meat, if pork is your thing, and since they're destroying both cropland and wildlife habitats for native critters, you're doing Mother Nature a favor as well.

My preps failed during Ian here in South Carolina. My weather radio didn't alert me. It's too complicated for me to program. My radio was hand crank, and it consumed me too much time and energy to keep it going. Also, I didn't have a way to heat water with my 2,000 watt generator. My single eye didn't work with my generator. Lastly, I tried a bathtub Bob in my tub to store water, but I couldn't get the plastic to stay put long enough to fill the tub. HELP!

During Snowmaggedon here in Texas 2021, we just filled the bathtubs without any bags. That small propane stove sure came in handy and candles. I recently bought a small but mighty solar power station that can be charged 3 different ways. Super excited about that! God bless you in this journey! ☺️🌻☀️

@@evelyny7037 went simple with my cooking. Have a small rocket stove for backpacking that has a grate you can use to grill food or put a pot on. And since one is non bought a more traditional rocket stove. Aside from the foraged items that can be used with it, I bought charcoal, solid fuel tablets, sterno and a spirit burner. The spirit burner could be used inside.

Maybe keeping double stick Velcro pieces on hand to affix the water bob to the tub ledge or walls next time around? Provided the adhesive won't damage any weirdly sensitive finish when you're set to remove it, worst you would need is some Goo-Gone.
