Day 5 Without Power

Well I should have bought a deck of playing cards. Thank goodness its still summer and the weather is cool. We can at least have campfires. Lord knows there is enough downed trees and branches around to burn. Another item to have extra of is underwear and socks. I would rather have those than spend my life saving at a laundromat. I told my wife on the first night that this is what it will be like after the collapse. Women are funny they would rather not hear or even think about that eventuality. Men see that as rather silly. It will probably happen so why not be ready for it. Mentally as well as logistically. This whole power outage is in its own way a good thing. It shows how unprepared you really are. Just when you think you are set up something like this happens and it shows where you are deficient.

Things to have in a blackout.
Playing cards
Board games
Hurricane lanterns
Coleman lanterns
Extra ice in the freezer
Extra candles
Extra propane tanks
