Got 3 months of food, a couple of cases of water, guns and a couple of cans of gas if I need to bug out to my parents place with the wife. Got a lot of offline entertainment too.
If it lasts more than a week Iโll bug out at the point.
I got a lot of meat in a freezer. I live in an apartment, so I don't know what I'll do if the power goes out. Haul my freezer outside and use a generator? Stand by it all day so that people don't steal the food?
I've heard that if you don't open the freezer for something like 3 days the contents should stay good. However, that probably also depends on how hot it is outside. If it's crazy hot out, then it might be more like 1 day. I would pray about it.
Also, if you have a south facing window or access to outside you might want to look into getting a small solar charger (50-100 watt?) and maybe something like a jackery battery as well. I got a 200 watt one a few years ago, wish I'd have gotten something like a 600 watt instead. But, at least I can run a fan or a light and charge my phone and also an LED lantern that will charge by USB. The solar charger I have has a couple USB plugs.
I'm having trouble thinking of what I'd use the solar panel to charge. Phone, well, if the power grid goes out, there will be no cellular signal right?
This sounds like a YUGE heads up. He's talking about the blackout and continuity of government. This seems like a confirmation of the gameplan bigly.

Thank you for the info.
