I enjoy the thread although I'm not posting. I was just thinking about it last week actually- came to the conclusion that after 7 years of inpatient psych and the prisons, I was a bit fatigued from spending so much time on "yellow alert."

I like the basic red, yellow and green alert for monitoring my situation.

I've been looking at some of my preparation stores recently and find myself considering the fundamentals more. One of my next buys will be a filtration device. Don't have potable water, ya don't have much!
