You have to keep the sim card in. Just let it deactivate or activate a new one when you get a new phone. A sim card is your phone's brain... it has to have one to work.

Cool. That's what I figured.
I just know a lot of people keep the same SIM card when they swap phones.
I'd hate for somebody to have a dud in their emergency tote.
Good thread - I live in a tornado zone and always wonder what to do with the dogs if we have one. I have a small basement but the dogs wont go down there - guess I better start working on teaching them to go down there in case - and 2 dont get along so maybe i should invest in a cheap crate or two to keep down in the basement for emergency. Really like all the suggestions and ideas for what to keep for emergency, its easy sometimes to put that in the back of your mind and think it will never happen to you... Jo I would wipe their feet when they come in if they are walking on ice melt stuff - not sure if its suppose to be harmless to animals but just to be safe and good idea with the boxes and blankets to keep the dogs warm

So I put a shed in my yard. It's a simple 10x12, insulated, independently heated, and full of stuff to live off of for 3 months assuming my home is unsafe to be in and the roads are impassible. For the dogs this means i keep 3 months worth of dog food on hand. I also store water in 55 gallon food grade barrels, every six months I empty and refill the barrels. I also keep spare folding crates and hurricane tie outs for the dogs "just in case" we need to bug out to a place where fences will be unavailable.
This is beyond amazing! You're like the poster child for being prepared...I am so impressed.

While I've done a bit more than most of my neighborhood on the matter I really haven't spent a lot of money putting this together. The shed and everything but insulation was recycled from demoed houses and an old cabin. The extra crates I picked up on sale at work in the clearance bin, the barrels I got from a local cannery after they were used to store apple paste (it's important you know what was stored in them before you got them). The biggest expense was the people food which took a little bit of research.
I wanted not a lot of weight if I needed to travel, easy prep, healthy, long term storage, and to not hate what I was eating. If I'm living in a shed in my yard why make it suck any more than it has to? So I went with freeze dried over dehydrated, sampled their menu on a small scale to see what I liked, and then ordered in bulk long term storage containers.

The canned soup is a great idea!
I was also thinking THK would be a good thing to have in an emergency, just from a dry weight to wet weight ratio.
I agree, but remember that water can be a problem and you will probably want top-quality (so as to need less) canned (or I guess kibble) dog food around too.
The canned chunky soup thing from Will's old post has now made it onto the preparedness lists of the two small local boards I moderate too, as well as the lists of every dog-owner friend I have. So far I have not found a similarly useful item that the dogs and humans can all share with zero problem and that actually doesn't even need to be heated.
Well it is shaping up to be nasty here through the night, I am keeping my fingers crossed that the ice tapers off and turns to sleet and snow.
Bad roads are a pain but livable, but the inch or more of ice they are forecasting is not good at all.
I could use some crossed fingers for things to not get too out of hand!
I am getting freezing rain right now and lots of wind. We are keeping our fingers crossed that it turns to sleet before too long.
Forecast is calling for 1/2 to 1 inch or more of ice depending on location within the storm and then another 1-2 inches of sleet late tonight with several to 6 inches of snow through the day tomorrow.
Basically a nightmare!!
WOW! That sounds like a pretty bad report for weather! I would rather have a foot of snow than an inch of ice any day.
I hope it turns to snow sooner rather than later!
Anyhow, we are getting a ton of rain here, in fact, my back yard looks like a lake right now. The dogs look around at it and don't know where to go potty!
I just want to wish you a safe night and day tomorrow.
Stay warm and stay safe, hoping you get through OK.
