90 DAYS WITHOUT POWER, RANKED
You are not leaving.
The roof is fine.
The grid is just gone.
No power, no water pressure, no store deliveries, for 90 days.
In each category we will go from most important to least important.
The categories are ranked too.
The roof is covered, so water comes first, then food, then everything that keeps those two usable.
90 days is what you should be prepared for. Most official lists say 3 to 14 days. Those are minimums, not plans.
WATER
Without it you have days. One gallon per person per day.
90 days is 90 gallons per person. A family of 4 needs 360.
Water filter (a gravity filter is the best buy)
Food grade barrels or water bricks
Unscented bleach to treat stored water
Your water heater tank holds 40 to 50 gallons. Know how to drain it.
Rain collection (check local rules)
FOOD
Rice and beans are the backbone.
If you cannot afford freeze dried meals, load up on rice and beans.
Rice has about 1,650 calories per pound. Dry beans about 1,570.
2,000 calories a day for 90 days is about 110 pounds per person, or four 5 gallon buckets.
Cooking oil, salt, sugar, spices
Peanut butter
Canned meat and vegetables
Powdered milk
Multivitamins
Freeze dried meals if you can afford them
Eat the fridge first, then the freezer, then the pantry.
COOKING AND FUEL
Food you cannot cook is just weight.
Camp stove plus fuel for 90 days
Extra propane or butane
Lighters and matches
One pot with a lid
Never run a stove or heater indoors without ventilation.
HEAT
Cold is the quiet killer.
Wood stove or a safe indoor rated heater
Fuel for it
Wool blankets and sleeping bags rated below your coldest night
Pick one room, close it off, and live in it
Carbon monoxide detector with batteries. Not optional.
SANITATION
This is what ends up killing people in long outages.
5 gallon bucket with a toilet seat lid
Heavy trash bags
Kitty litter or sawdust
Bleach
Soap and hand sanitizer
Toilet paper, a lot of it
MEDICAL
Prescriptions. Ask your doctor about a longer supply.
First aid kit
Pain and stomach relief
Any glasses or contacts, plus a spare pair
A printed first aid manual
LIGHT AND POWER
Headlamps and lanterns
Batteries, rotated
Solar panel with a power bank
A generator is a bonus, not a plan. Fuel goes bad and it is loud.
INFORMATION, CASH AND NEIGHBORS
Cards stop working when the power does.
Battery or crank radio
Cash in small bills, silver and gold if you have it
Paper copies of IDs and contacts
Know your neighbors. Trade skills, not just supplies.
MORALE
Books, cards, games, something for the kids.
Boring beats hungry. Bored beats panicked.
THE FIRST 72 HOURS
Fill the bathtub and every container you own before the water stops.
Fridge and freezer stay shut. A full freezer holds about 48 hours.
Charge everything while you still can.
Cook and eat what will spoil first.
Obviously we could add security and it is important but depending on where you are, what your aloud to have/own I'm not going into great detail on that.
What I can say is have a plan, talk it over with your family, everyone has a job. Don't be afraid to talk to your neighbors you know as well to make sure they are doing their part if you plan on working together.
Feel free to add anything I may have missed. Anything you may think would be of added value for others to read and share.
Book mark this, come back to it, create a check list.
To be clear, I am not a survivalist. This is not survival advice. This is only my setup that I am following with my family. If nothing else maybe just a reminder.
ISO Ledger 🛡
@MUssr1987@AceMoviess We can agree to disagree, if you want just watch the show again. We’re talking about a show here that ended over 10 years ago.
And no offense I don’t need to be arguing with a Slav about an American show
@MUssr1987@AceMoviess Hank was always a show off since season 1 and he was always egotistical. And it costed him his life in the end. he was even willing to sacrifice Skylar just to get Walt, the scene when she screamed at him in the diner. Im not too young lol im just very observant
@MUssr1987@venom9905@AceMoviess George merkert lost his position over it. He even admitted how he had fring over for barbecues and he’s shocked he never knew. he was ashamed. there was no corruption, fring was just so skilled at playing people. Did you even watch the show in detail?
🚨BREAKING NEWS : Your "deleted" photos aren't deleted.
Claude Code found years of them sitting in a hidden cache on my iPhone.
I plugged my iPhone into my MacBook to run a backup. I had Claude Code doing a security check at the same time. It flagged something I wasn't looking for. A directory called PhotoData/Thumbnails.
Thousands of files. Photos, videos, screenshots. A lot of them were things I had deleted.
Photos from a couple of years ago. Screenshots I took and deleted a few seconds later. Stuff I went into Recently Deleted and cleared. Some of it was still sitting there.
What I found in that cache:
- old screenshots of banking apps
- photos I deleted right after taking them
- random pictures I didn't want on my phone anymore
- a few things I specifically remember deleting more than once
When you delete a photo on iPhone, iOS removes it from your camera roll and Recently Deleted folder. But it keeps a compressed copy in a Spotlight search cache so your phone can still find things when you search. That cache doesn't get fully cleared.
I checked which apps had Files and Folders access. There were more than I expected, including apps I downloaded a long time ago and forgot about. Any of them could potentially read files from that cache.
I went through the list and removed access from most of them.
The prompt I used is below. It doesn't take long if you already have a backup.
How many apps on your phone have Files access right now?
If you think the govt will protect you, you are completely insane. Carry a firearm and protect yourself. The cops are just there to take reports and the procecutors are releasing these animals back on the wild through a revolving door. So, shoot the little bastards and the problem will correct itself.
@JBTakes_YouTube@AceMoviess He’s not the least moral in the how show, he did his job and was a good agent. But he also wasn’t the most moral. That would probably be Walt JR
@RaeAGE_@MUssr1987@AceMoviess Great point, so a detectives job is to be callous no matter what? Just lie and lie to get what you want no matter what? is it also a detectives job to break direct orders from their superiors? which is what happened.
@Mystic_mane0@Dynamicyhx I’d say it’s been downhill since MW 2019, every COD previously ( MW 2019) was playable
I thought vanguard, MW2, MW3 was baseline playable
MW4 looks so dry and I’ve also gotten older to see it. Plus the SBMM I heard is the WORST it’s ever been in any COD
@MUssr1987@AceMoviess now you’re on level 2: ad hominems
We’re talking about a TV show here no need for personal attacks lol
I get how the relationships work to get information in the law, that doesn’t disregard Hank manipulating Jessie. He was piece of shit plain and simple. And so was Walt.
@Its__Alysy@MUssr1987@AceMoviess Yes, but you’re assuming Jessie literally admitted EVERY little detail to Hank. I’m sure he told him a lot. But not everything. Jesse was a shit himself, but he had humanity and showed remorse. Especially with Gale. Hank was so easy to let him die all to get Walt
@MUssr1987@venom9905@AceMoviess He was offered several times by his superiors to move off the Heisenberg case throughout the show? He wasn’t forced into anything.
In the end he couldn’t let go and he broke the law trying to get Walt. and yes Walt was a criminal. But Hank died for nothing but his pride and ego
