All this tsunami / quake stuff in the news has reminded me that I need to get my arse in gear and get my 'get through' stuff together (esp. now we've a wee baby).
Any of you lot bothered? What did you do?

I plan to topple the New Order.
After I have feasted of course.
And paint over all the H's on local signs.

I located a very large chilly bin.
Where I live I'm in no danger from a Tsunami, but the earthquake would be a worry. I have a large tank full of tropical fish - hence the chilly bin to keep the fish warm if their tank cracks!

So you can feast on them?

Before Y2K I bought 10 acres of bush land in the far north, built a dwelling that's independent of the national electricity grid and has its own water supply. I still own it. It gets better each year.
Dunno how much use it would be in case of a major earthquake though - I would have to get there first.

No, but I would happily drink their water! Their swimming water is much better quality than my drinking water! :yes:

Im not sure if your telling us about it or inviting us all to stay if need be.Is it a large dwelling with sky TV and a view.I only ask because satelite TV would still work or am I wrong.I hope not to need to impose but booking ahead is always advised.

Sounds like an excellent spot for me to park my caravan.
Which now that I think of it is fully self-sufficient, having solar panels,batteries and a gas system, I can live like a king while the peasants fight over the new order....

And paint over all the H's on local signs.
I have a stash of aerosols, all colours, we could create anarchy by painting different directions on all road signs in our regions.
By adding 'H' to every sighn will distracht our opressorhrs.
"Hey Chief, fere da whuck is Whellington?"
"Erm, juss sarf of Fy-noo-ee-oh-mah-tah, bro"
Don't u mean Why-noo-ee-oh-mar-tah?"
"Yup, forgot to adds da haytch bro"
Meanwhile, back at HQ, the button has been pressed and missiles are airborne......

Gun - ammo, to protect my stash of food and stuff. Anything else needed will be taken by force with said gun and ammo.

I did have a can of something but I ate that and I did have a torch but the battery's poked after playing too many under quilt gynaecological examinations. :rolleyes:
On paper at least it would appear I'm fooked.... however, the little git across the way has been praying for disaster day to hit NZ since he was born and is therefore excellently prepared for any disaster that may befall him, except maybe the martybabe funbus ramraid kind of disaster, which will occur as soon as I get hungry after the first disaster, call it an aftershock if you will. :shifty:

Phew is right. I never quite got around to building the composting toilet. I hope you're ok with long drops. (Short splashes if it's been raining...) :pinch:

We have masses of camping and outdoor gear, caravan, 4wd, food in freezer.. big solar panel, batteries.. We'd hardly even blink.. The only problem would be no Internet. :blink: That would be a real bitch.
