What is the Seven Day Challenge?
The Seven Day Challenge is going to be a mock disaster that lasts 7 Days in which the bloggers at http://foodstoragemadeeasy.net will be initiating an emergency “fire drill”. Participants will have a chance to test their level of preparedness in a simulated emergency environment. Each day during the Seven Day Challenge participants will receive an email informing them which of their utilities and/or food they will have access to. At the conclusion of the Seven Day Challenge participants will have means to share, discuss, and give feedback on how they could have been “better” prepared.
How to sign up?
You can sign-up online at the Seven Day Challenge page on FoodStorageMadeEasy.NET.
What’s in it for me?

· Participant prizes for completing the challenge
· Tons of learning
· Peace of mind from being prepared

Oh, my. I may have mentioned in a previous comment that I work at a DHS library, the largest fire/disaster/terrorism library in the world. We have a book (and I'll have to go look for it) by some VERY serious preparedness gurus who did a 3-day challenge....and gave up after a day the first time around. It is a good read, very interesting to me that they couldn't do it at first. I'll find the info for you and post it later today...
Found it:
Urban alert: emergency survival for city dwellers, by Mary Ellen and Bruce Clayton. 1980, Paladin press.
What I found most interesting was that these two preach survivalism, train survivalists, stock like crazy....but the first time they tried they couldn't pull off a 3-day drill with just the two of them and their young son. Very interesting reading. Real eye-opener.
