A Field Trip to Japan’s Earthquake Preparedness Store
Many countries that possess seismically active areas have some regions that are more prepared for earthquakes than others, such as San Francisco being far more earthquake-conscious than Miami in the USA.

Crushed cathedrals and shipping containers stacked up against cracked buildings broke our hearts, but we were shaken to the core by a much simpler thing: toilets. Unlike […]
A second round of testing what is good or not after the use-by date
In November of 2019, I checked the canned food in my emergency kit and a few other odds and ends, and reported here what was still good despite being past the use-by date, and what was not; and I replaced most of those things (MREs, emergency food bars, and water last much longer, as I’ve written […]
