I'm not sure what you are referring to, but when I was younger my parents always had candles and torches/flashlights and things we called "storm" lanterns in case of a power cut which was usual in those days. these days nobody(except preppers) even have a flashlight much less candles in the house.
Not sure what you are referring to either but I don't even have a flashlight that works. Always have candles,though. I was taught that way.
I do have solar panels, though.
What are wind up torches?
Thank You, Those are very effective.
The only problem I had with them is You have to keep winding them up-what if I fall asleep?
I may need to experiment with those a little more.
Can u tell me where I can get one?
Apology for my dumb question. U already told me where to get them.
I didn't intend to post bad remarks about You earlier. I just don't intend to surrender the freedom.
O.K. - so much for remarks.
Yea ha
O.K so much for that for now. That's just a war-cry.Imagine what we could do.
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace
I'm sorry Forager, I couldn't resist. I've lived so long with the hatred and violence of humankind. My high school sweetheart was killed in the Lebanon embassy bombing. My first husband, my children's father served in Desert Shield and Storm. My second served 4 years in a row in Iraq with 2-3 months at home between each deployment. I've lived through 27 deployments, TADs and Med Cruises over 32 years. Even being single now, I don't know what peace looks/feels like.
I have a question to everyone on this thread. Since posting what would be missed, what have any of us done to ensure we will not be without what we like the most?
I love electricity! A/C, fridge, computer, etc. On he same note I am making a root cellar for cool storage, am building an outdoor kitchen, allready heat mostly with wood, and a major luxury is I hope to have a solar water heater soon. 'Juice' makes our lives more comfortable yes, but as several here said, life will go on. I will say that making secondary ways to cook and heat now, while we have power tools and stoves and all, is a lot easier than doing so after the grid goes down. I talk with associates at work about these things and most say nothing is ever going to change and I am sure they think I'm a radical idiot. "You can lead a horse to water...."
"nothing is going to happen" is a phrase I hear over and over again, last time just over a week ago from wife's cousin who is a local government councillor. it does make me laugh with all that is going on in the world that these people still think life will go on as normal. are they in for a shock or what??
Why would You ever owe me an apologie? If You want me to, I accept it
You deserve at least a merit for having gone through all of that.
You can bet Your sweet bippie on that.
Many of us have, me included.
