    ”One of the most important recommendations is to keep enough food and drinking water for 72 hours.

    But Ilmari Kaihko wonders whether that is practical for everyone.

    “Where do you stash it if you have a big family living in a small apartment?”

    I suspect you may end up with a smaller family, thereby making room for the water you didn’t have.

      Is it really that difficult to have enough supplies just for 72 hours? You don’t even need any food for that short of a time, and you only really would need, what, 2 liters per person? Personally I drink a lot more than 1 liter of water per day, but in a crisis situation you’re gonna ration it

        And emergency food for three days is like one banana box. I don’t think many people live in a space so small they can’t fit that in.

        Aaaand… I am replying to a year old post. Well then :D
