Nothing needs to be cooked. Eating straight from the can nothing needs to be washed which conserves water. I still need a chemical toilet and glow sticks. The best case scenario in case of a blizzard or other natural disaster is that we are both at home. Worst case is we are both at work and I have to get her and come home. Any comments? Anything I'm over looking?
    Is your wife a shooter? If not she needs to have a comfort level with driving, AND basics of hand, shot or long gun. I'd lean towards a 20ga pump.
    I understand you are prepping for 7 days. However, You are way under stocked on food, not enough meds, or water. Your next problem is AURORA. The metro area will be over run with the FSA dead beats, gang bangers and other newly converted predators.
    Come day 7 you will be hemmed in by the opposing team, making your evac that less possible. IF you have other like minded folks in your area, i suggest a get together and game plan that gives you strength in numbers.
    Regarding your current vehicle. IF it gets that bad weather wise, you will not be the only one unable to move.

    Too much money.
    THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE AND WHAT YOU / EVERYONE NEEDS. You store 12 rolls of TP inside the bucket and 5 bags. the rest goes in what ever else toiletries you take. Wally world carries them.

    She can shoot a .22LR pistol well enough. She's had driving lessons but she's terrifying...maybe that would be perfect in a BO scenario! Though we are not old we live in a senior community, the average age must be 70. They are only a possible drain, not contributors. Zombies could even see this neighborhood as easy pickings.
