Thanks Ask Mom for your reply...my wife and I have never, thankfully, had an emergency, with the exception of a very few-and-far-between short power interruptions (less than 8 hours) but we still ALWAYS have a year's worth of essentials, JUST IN CASE! We date all canned, packaged and frozen foods as they're purchased and use them in order, re-stocking as they're used. That way, there's always that one year supply. One other precaution I take is never letting our car get below 3/4 tank. Some may think I'm paranoid but I really don't care. The old Boy Scout motto BE PREPARED as is valid now as it was way back when! My regards to you ASK MOM! Bob in southern Ontario, Canada.
For years, my wife and I have ALWAYS had a one year supply of food and essential supplies. Most canned goods are good for at least a year and a half. Same with bottled water. We have a water filter with a 1,000 gallon filter supply, an airtight wood stove with a one year supply of wood, a small wood cook stove, a supply of kerosene and four lanterns, 500 candles, etc. etc. There's an old adage that is SO TRUE! Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.
Saw your channel link in that Create Your Dream Life group we are both in. :) Buying in bulk always helps. I understand the toilet paper. I love Charmin Ultra Soft, and I like the price at Costco. So, was awful when everything was out during Spring and even Summer. Such a good idea about pads! I have to use chlorine free, so I probably should order more soon. I have a channel too if you want to check it out. Nice video! Link your intro and outro. Need to make those for my vids soon. Subscribed. 😄💕

I have always thought it a good idea to keep back up gasoline tanks filled up as well

That is excellent!
