    During the first spring I lived in Conifer, my x and I were snowed in for four days without power. It went pretty well, but I had no way to run the well which sucked. Although, it wasn't all that bad having all of my emergency water, camping gear, etc. Every year I add something new. My last item is a sustainable, long-term backup power source.

    Screw that... I'm a prepper and if they don't like the term or it makes someone see me as a nut-jub, then too bad! One less douchebag I have to deal with in my life. It's very clarifying when people see prepper's or gun owners as nuts. They are the first wave of dead when something goes wrong. Bu-Bye, die over there so I don't have to smell it.

    I have family that have lived on the St.Vrain on Hwy 36 between Lyons and Estes for over 100 years. They had to evac my cousin who is now living in the main house. She's in her late 80's, so they helo'ed her out because they are going to be cut off for at least 3 months. Well, there are 3 houses on the property and my 7 or 8 other cousins living there decided to stay even though the bridge from their houses to the road is gone, the road is gone, the river is crazy out of control. They have 3-4 months of food and gas, and the support equipment to live off the grid. My cousin Chris told the evac team, they were good to go and if needs be, can pack out of the area in less than 30 minutes notice without any road to the other side of the mountain and then down to the foothills.

    We live in Colorado. We should expect natural disaster. We should all be able to live without power or outside assistance for at least a week. We should all be preppers and not give a damn if people like the term or not.

    Anyone that thinks war is good is ignorant. Anyone that thinks war isn't needed is stupid.

    Default This, is why you prepare for the unexpected:

    As the saying goes, preppers are crazy until something happens, then they are smart.

    Who now has a boat included in their supplies list?
    If your post count is higher than your round count, you are a troll.

    Based on the number of boating accidents and unfortunate loss of prized firearms from this group, I had guessed all of us owned a boat by now.

    When did people who prepare become crazy? Growing up on the East Coast it was normal to be prepared for natural disasters.

    For the record, from now on if anyone asks, I lost all mine in the great flood of 2013.
