How to prep for a power outage without a car

When the News tells you, you should prepare for a power-outage and you live in temporary housing and haven't had a change to accumulate things, you might have some work to do. 

Challenge: Prepare for a power-outage without a car.

Things you are told you should have: Flashlights, batteries, water, non-perishable food. 

Step 1: Prepare to walk to the Walmart.You might want to bring more stuff back than normal so bring 2 grocery bags. Also wear a rain jackets, you cant use an umbrella when you are carrying grocery bags on both hands.

Step 2: Fight the wind and walk to the Walmart. Once you are there grab a handcart. Since you are walking home, everything you buy must fit into the handcart.

Step 3: Lights, you do not have room in your handcart for bulky flashlights and batteries. Go cheap and grab some tiny lights, glow-sticks, and balloons. You can get creative with these later.

Step 4: Water, do not be crazy, you cannot possibly fit enough water into your hand cart and you do not want to carry that home. Hopefully you keep enough empty vodka bottles on hand at home,. You can just fill them up with tap water later. 

Step 5: Choose food that doesn't have to be refrigerated or heated that the whole family will like. Obviously Cheez-it's are the perfect food; However they do not sell them in Canada which makes shopping more complicated. 

Step 6: Get everything home, and hope that you made good choices. 

Step 7: Find a comfortable spot at home to ride out the storm.
