Who is ready
 

So continuation of the question who is ready for a power outage or other event

The reality is nobody is ever truly prepared for any unplanned event but what do you have if such an event happens

How come nobody includes polls in their polls?? :)

Your too fast Brad I can only type so fast

Patience is a virtue. I have no virtue. Sorry :)

Or patience in your old age

Even though I have a battery backup for the vortech, I still voted I'm not ready, based on an outage of days or God forbid 'the big one'!

Wanna arm wrestle, kid?? :)

I can't click more than one choice.
I wanted to include blankets with my generator, which would be the last choice I use.
And a battery powered air pump!

I have blankets, a small generator with heavy duty power cords and spare powerbars, 2 UPS battery backups, 2 new battery operated air pumps, two propane Weber BBQs with side burners to heat up water and spare propane tanks, with up to six jerry cans of gas to fuel my generator. Also, I'm in the planning stage for setting up a solar power system in my backyard with solar panels over my shed and pergola to charge a bank of four to six deep cycle batteries. - Again, it "helps" to be OCD.

My best "insurance" though seems to be that the powerlines in my neighbourhood are underground and so protected from wind storms, falling trees, and those types of disasters.

In the north we have in the winter time extreme cold to deal with and it sucks big time when the power goes out even with generator(s) going there is no guarantees of tank survival in an extended outage.

I have a generator and access to another one but you never know and as I first stated we are never truly prepared for outages of events
