So I got to use a small part of my preps yesterday and today. A pipe bursted in my apartment and flooded everything, pretty much everything in my bathroom upstairs and a lot of things downstairs in the kitchen were ruined. But of course I had extras of all my essentials in my prepper stash so I still had everything I needed to get to bed for the night and ready for work in the morning. Even if it's a small thing, or if it's something big, I want to be ready.
Of course now I have to clean this whole mess up and see what, if anything, can be salvaged. Fortunately the things I really care about are kept in safe places.
