Are you prepared in the event of a long term survival situation?

Survivalists have gotten more and more prevalent in today's sort of tense and dangerous world. Would you be prepared should a disaster strike your home and you would have to survive for months or even years? I know I wouldn't be..I think I could survive a short term power outtage of up to a week,,,but long term survival..that would be a problem. What about you? What is the longest you have had to go without sevices?

When we lived in the car is the longest without services but still had the car...about 3 months that was.
As far as long term survival..not prepared at all.
But I do what I can for short term..
No food supply here..cant get to afford it point.
I try to stay fit though in case of having to walk far.

I really think a generator would be one of the best things to have should you have to survive a long term situation. You would need a power source.

I wouldn't survive more than a day without power. As I like cold drinks, and hot meals.

I think you would find you do what you have to do. I am sure being near the coast you have probably lost power before. We all like hot meals and cold drinks..

@snowy22315 yes weve lost power a few times almost every year. But the longest time was maybe 11 hours

I think about..We are kind of lucky here in that my roomie has a medical condition that requires oxygen so we are a priority case when it comes to receiving electrical services.
