Re: What IF
We have rechargeable batteries and a charger that works in the car as well as the home. (generator)
We have enough flashlights and LED room lamps to light the entire house and run constant with the chargers.
We also have multi fuel lamps that can use oil, kerosene, diesel and other fuels.
We can cook everything from coffee (a good stainless steel perkalator makes better coffee anyways and never needs filters.) to meats , and vegetables with nothing but a campfire made from tree limbs, and multiple fire starting sources from waterproof matches to torches to flint and steel with steel wool and pocket lint (dryer lint works great too, save it.)
All of our guns are the old fashioned mechanical kind, no sooper dooper laser death rays for us! :-P
We have a cooler/heater box that uses the cigarette lighter in the car to keep cool or hot for storing perishables like milks for weeks to months on end.
Most all of my power tools are lithium ion battery powered and with a power inverter can be recharged using any vehicles cig lighter. (36V DEWALT circ saw with 7 1/4 blade is just as powerfull as a plug up saw.)
So we could cook anything from T-bone steaks to mashed potatoes, and even bake cakes and bread over a campfire with nothing more than aluminum foil and grill parts.
We can defend ourselves against looters and idiots who would rather take from others who DID prepare instead of prepare for themselves.
We can make repairs, and or board up windows, and do minor construction with power tools.
Yeah, with God we could make it. (I cant even walk without holding his hand so I wouldn't ATTEMPT survival mode in desperate times without him.)
I've done what I can to prepare/protect my family, I fully trust God to do what I cannot.
I'm always looking for new ideas as well.
Oh..... did I mention?
We are country.
In the country.
A country boy can survive LOL
