Hi everyone! I wanted to write to you all about this topic for some time now. I will be talking in this thread about survival tips and hope that I can impart some good steps you can prepare yourselves and families when trouble comes your way. I dont want to come off as an alarmist but as a prepared person. I welcome you all to add to this simple list of real life precautionary steps to take to somewhat ease your difficulties in these troubled times. All to often I wish that RPG games would make your buy rations and make you eat and prepare realistic measures for your outdoor adventures. (Saz, remember the days when you were required to buy your food and water rations for your adventures
) These following tips are the basic house . Advance survival tips will come later on.1. Water---> Keep a good source of bottled water stocked
2. Food---> tuna, dried fruits, nuts, twinkies, and foods that will keep for a long while.
3. Bathroom items---> tissue, soap, towels and shampoo
4. Lighters and candles---> Dont burn anything now, never burn them without safety precautions
5. Batteries and flashlights..to make funny faces with
7. Transitor radio operated from batteries or solar power
8. Cards and board games to edge off your bordem and keep your spirits up
9. Blankets and warm clothing
10. Cooking---> several things can be used here. Gas grills would be the best thow. One of those gas containers lasts a long time. Sterno cans if you dont have a grill. They store nicely.
11. Keep your tank full of gas in your vehicles as much as you can Like I said before these items are very basic. I will write you more advanced ideas down the road. Remember that some time or another your power will go off and what will you do? Empower yourselves now! Do this! Anyone need a ride to the store..
