Store It Foods

Here is something to consider: What are you going to do if disaster strikes and your neighbors are not prepared?

As the above cartoon shows, it is pretty hard to prevent city leaves from falling outside your property.  Likewise, disasters are unlikely to affect only your family or someone else’s family.  They tend to be a little more widespread than that.

Consequently, you might want to be prepared to do a little sharing.  That’s why some folks include disposable diapers in their 72 hour kits even when there are no babies in their family.  They just might encounter someone who has the baby but no emergency survival kit. 

If your neighbor and best friend has failed to stockpile any sort of food supply, and some sort of an emergency has cut off food distribution networks, are you going to dig into your preserves and say to your self that “it is sure too bad that he or she didn’t plan ahead” while you eat and they don’t?

Yes, they may not be your leaves to worry about.  Even so, you might want to do something about them.  And if your neighbors are starving you might want to consider the possibilities of having a little extra and doing a little sharing.  At least give it some thought.  The situation may never arise, but, then again, it might.
