It's been eight days since the power grid went down...
You thank God for the disaster "prepping" you did in advance. It's kept you and your family alive up to this point.
But you never imagined you'd need more than a week's worth of supplies...
Now your food and water are running dangerously low – there are a few packs of chips and some cookies in the kitchen cabinet... they'll keep your family fed another day. But you need a Plan B – FAST – because "normal service" isn't resuming anytime soon...
