For years, my family conducted a camping-at-home exercise twice a year, one in the summer and one in the winter. It was easy. Friday afternoon, shut off the electricity, gas, and water.

What do you do with the stuff in the refrigerator and freezer? How do you cook meals? How do you get water for cooking and cleaning? How do you keep warm in the winter?

I'll pretty much guarantee you won't think of everything the first couple times. But after that your skills, and your confidence, will increase dramatically.
