Doc, what’s your take on emergency and disaster preparedness? I’m not sure how far to go and what’s reasonable.
I think folks should be prepared for living “off the grid” for between one and three months. Meaning entirely self-sufficient. May need to prepare for longer periods if you live in a harsh environment like Alaska or a desert.
