Isa's Homestead Happenings and Hangout

Right, because they have vacancy.

I've seen I-75 and know gas supplies. I'd be in a tent on the side of the road between Valdosta and Atlanta

I got room and I should be as close to you as Atlanta. Just bring booze, but if not, it is okay, I will have some

Just leave early to beat the traffic. If it changes direction we will still have a good time

So peeps who've been through this rodeo before, anything particular I should prepare for a wildfire evacuation prep kit?

I like this list. Especially the part about taking photo inventory.

If you have a fire-proof box or safe, inventory the contents, take photos, and make a backup of those photos. Put things in it you can't take but are important. If you don't have one, consider getting one. Even if this blows over (pun intended) it's never a bad idea to have a fireproof safe in the house.

If you're gonna try to take the girls, stuff them in a dog crate or do the hurricane burrito things with them. otherwise just throw the coop door open and let them fend for themselves. I know that sounds cruel, but if you have to GO! NOW! it's better than roasting them in a locked coop.

Have 3-4 shelters in mind to evacuate TO. The closest ones may fill up, so have options.

Pack 4L water per day per person in your car. at least 3 days worth.

Don't forget snacks.

I’m glad we don’t have to deal with this stuff here.

Until this week, I was saying the same thing.

I thought you had those NorEasters that could have hurricane force wind?

Yeah but we don’t evacuate and also usually it’s down to tropical storm or gale force by the time it gets here so we just ride it out. And usually it’s just some downed trees.

Oh wow

Just read that it's the worst start to Canada's wildfire season. 6.7 million acres have already burned

Moral of the story...You never know when TSHTF; be prepped.

6.7 million acres

Hard to wrap my head around.

I'm interrupting this programing to say that my strawberry rhubarb pie is fantastic. Ok, carry on
