Medicine/sanitation

I am not very strong in this field, but I will do my best to bring some ideas to light.

You'd be prudent to stock up on medicines that you / your family need to take on a regular basis. This seems Obvious, but I know my parents don't have but a few weeks supply on hand of their stuff. Personally I do not take medication, but I still have some OTC stuff on hand. Take pills for high blood pressure, or you are diabetic??? You know what happens when you don't get your insulin....etc.

First aid kit. Get one, and make sure it is well stocked. I stuff extras into my kits. Epi Pen, Nitrile gloves,

CPR classes. Take a red cross class if you have a free Saturday. Keep a cheap sheet in your first aid kit. (I am deficient on this subject)


Sanitation... How much TP do you have on hand <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

Lots of folks from the depression era remember using a sears catalog in the outhouse for wipey wipe. Do you know how to construct an outhouse? How about treating the waste? Might ought to look into that.
