I forgot.
the washing machine can also become a very well insulated cooler. fill washing machine with ice, put in beer , wine, soda, etc. cover with blanket,
stays 3-4 days and when elec comes back on, turn machine on to drain water.
we did this works great.

I was going to add to this the solar flashlight, you know, the one that works great while the sun is shining...
but they really do have a solar-rechargable flashlight.
http://www.solareagle.com/sunmate_flash.html
It only gives you up to 3 hours of light per charge, but it's better than nothing if you have it.
It might have already been mentioned, but the water in the toilet tank will help for animals, etc...assuming you can't flush the toilet.
Did anyone mention candles or lanterns? with waterproof matches or a really good Tupperware container to keep matches dry?

OH YEA! one more thing in the "personal care" section...
a little extra "protection" for when things get cozy after the lights go out and there's nothing else to do but go to bed....
I'm serious! There's always a plethora of "new arrivals" about 9 months after big power outages........

we have hand crank flashlights and radio, also use outdoor solar lawn lights (remove stakes ) and bring them in doors for lighting. (to avoid falling
over the dog and cats ).also have battery operated tv. since the elec goes out all the time here, I bought the biggest apu for my computer I could
find. candles tend to attrack bugs,at least here, even with screens, so have bug juice, at the ready.

Anyone know how much a capsule makes? Looked everywhere on their site, but may have missed the amounts their products make.

Various size plastic trash bags and zip lock bags to waterproof stuff.....double bag everthing.
Also ce chests make great waterproof containers....just wrap stuff in trash bage, put into ice chests and duct tape the lids closed and around the
lid/chest seam.

Might be nice to have an eyedropper and a small vial of water for the dehydrated stuff

I researched the product and found that three caps will fill a medium size hot tub. Twenty for a swimming pool.
Pretty amazing stuff.

Thanks for sharing your lists. I'll take note of it since the weather here is still not good. I hope there will be no more coming storms in the
future.
