    Oh one thing I forgot to mention that I did today.  While I was at the bank I got $25 in ones to put into my emergency supplies.  I want to have more than that but that's what I could afford today.

    I was just looking online at them. They aren't expensive at all and neither are the butane canisters.  I need to add that to my list.

    Butane stove.  That is what the caterers use and is safe for indoor use.

    Yes Spam.  I happen to like Spam and actually eat it quite often.  Fried spam sandwiches with some mayo are yummy.

    Yep.  I don't consider those in my plans as well.  Power goes out for a lengthy period?  There goes that part of your food supply.

    I know we've done this before but there have been quite a few new people that have joined since this discussion has been brought up.  We have been counseled to be prepared  both spiritually and temporally.  One of the things that is counseled is to have a 3 month supply of foods/supplies that you would use on a regular basis.   So what are the things that you have?
    Today I went shopping to really get serious about getting this all done.  These are some of the things I picked up.  Of course keeping in mind that I need to be able to rotate these items as well.
    1.  10 packages of the Knorr side dishes.  Easy to make with water and it would be enough for a meal for me and sometimes even 2.
    2.   5 cans of Spam
    3.  10 cans of green beans
    4.  10 cans of peas
    5.  10 cans of pork and beans
    6.  5 cans of peaches
    7.  5 cans of pears
    8.  5 cans of fruit cocktail
    9.  2 bottles of shampoo
    10.  2 deodorent sticks
    11.  3 cases of bottled water
    12.  Picked up a huge package at Costco of toilet paper.  (Kirkland brand)  
    13.  5 boxes of Mac and Cheese
    14.  3 cans of Spaghetti-O's.
     
    I've designed a plan for me.  I'm making a list of things I want and need in my 3 month supply.  I am going to purchase and add one item each day to build up my supply.
    While I'm in the mindset of food, I also need to think of all of the other things that would be needed. 
    So jump right in with your ideas.

    I agree with @pam that satanic is out.
    That still leaves a broad argument over what that would be.  There are those that say I embrace Satanism at Halloween.  They are also known collectively as idiots.
