4 cords of wood in the basement, wood stove, first aid and meds , dog and feed for 1 month, hay is already in the barn for the goats, batteries for all size lanterns and headlamps and transistor radio, lots of those ice packs frozen and the freezer food will be eaten first, will stay good for about 5 days. turkeys in freezer frozen solid, will take 4 days to thaw, eat last. Bleach, peroxide by the gallon jug. Drinking water enough for 10 days, other bottled water kept in used soap and clorox bottles, spare bottles for washing up. Water purification tablets, we live near a clean water source, activated charcoal, vitamins and supplements, months worth, bottles of booze for bartering, silver stacked, 300 troy oz. Ammo, 3 cars always topped off, what am I forgetting? Lots of books for reading, the Bible of course, but others too. Deck of cards and board games to amuse.
I live close to the Canadian border,in New England, wood was delivered in June, sat out for 2 months drying a bit, got it stacked inside, have not needed it for warmth, we get snow every Halloween, nights get cold, but this was about prepping, we can cook on the stove, no need for electricity or gas to cook, can heat hot water for washing up, doing dishes etc. And yes, by mid October will probably need to light it at night to warm the house up. It's been 40 at night already.

Why would you need wood in oct. it’s literally 105 where im at. Can’t imagine anywhere in America would need warmth in a month
