With tropical storm Sandy passing over the east coast and destroying mostly property here in Long Island New York. I'm mostly stuck at home. My cable and cell phone service has been restored but whats creating the big issue for most New Yorkers now in the post Sandy madness is gas.
Yesterday I had to drive two towns over to get gas at a station that just got a tanker in. After waiting about 2 hours in line and almost getting in the gas station we had the pleasure of hearing the police announce over the loud speaker that we should all go home as the gas was done.
Is there really a gas shortage here or are people just hording the gas ? Who knows...but it got me thinking about my SHTF plan and re-evaluating the contents of my bug out bag.
When I lived in Florida I was a lot more prepared for natural disasters. Lots of can food,Storm matches,knives,my looter stick (Maverick 88 shotgun),radio,gps and the whole nine.
Living in New York has made me more lapse about SHTF prep and with the after effects of Sandy still hurting this city and gas in short suply. I am stuck at home watching Doomsday Preppers and getting some good ideas.
Two things are missing from my SHTF prep kit is a .22 cal rifle and a nice 12 ga shottie. Two things I will procure as soon as my next Adsense check comes in :)
