Today started out as such an awesome day, perfect weather, etc. Planned on spending most of day at park. Well, son went out to go to Church and found that his back tire on his car was flat! So, he had to drive our car. He has been gone all day! We have been sitting here all this long long day. This has been just one day, what do we do for entertainment after SHTF? At least today , I have had tv and games, etc. Phone to call and bother people I know. Trying to keep mind off the fact that The Walking Dead season 5 starts tonight and I can't watch it.
After SHTF we will most likely have no power, so stock up on puzzles, books, and board games. Maybe stock up on toys and such for the kiddos. You could start some crafts. I am starting to save t-shirts so that I can strip them up to make a braided rug. I want a big one! That will take most of the winter and no power to make , except my own! My older son writes and my youngest one loves to paint. So that is a good thing to have on hand. Maybe learn a musical instrument. My daughter was just given a guitar. That will be fun for her to learn.
There are a lot of things that can be done after SHTF to keep you entertained. And to keep your mind off of the bad things going on.
The Modern Prepper: Survival Tips and Techniques To Survive In Today's World
Understanding how to prepare for and survive a disaster scenario can
mean the difference between life and death for you and your family.
Unfortunately, many families only have one member who is well versed in
survival techniques. In most cases, this role is filled by the male of
the household. Such a trend can be dangerous as dependency grows on one
particular family member in the event of an emergency or natural
disaster. This can be avoided by spreading the knowledge of prepping to
those within your family so that they too can be empowered to survive.
Canning and food preservation as well as urban survival play a crucial
role in the basic techniques of survival prepping. Understanding these
concepts and educating others is a necessary step in ensuring the safety
of yourself and those around you. This book gives you a prepper's edge
in times of uncertainty to help you teach every member of your family
how to prepare and survive disaster.
We had a really windy storm go thru last week and it knocked my umbrella style clothesline over! I wasn't able to get it back up. So I brought it in and just laid it in the kitchen to wait until hubby got home. But, my mind is always thinking and I got to thinking I could put it up in the back bedroom that I had just cleaned out. I put a chair in there and tied this to it and set it up in the middle of the room. I Put a couple of heavy boxes on the chair to hold it there. It set there for a few days and yesterday I did a load of towels , took them in there and hung them up, and turned on a small fan. Just went in there and they are DRY!! It worked great!! Another good thing is the heat vent is right under this so this winter when the heat is on it will dry even quicker. I love it. Last winter our power bill was really high because of having to use the dryer every time I did laundry. Now I can save some money.
