Can you and your family survive a power loss for weeks, or even months, as they have had to do in Puerto Rico?

Or parts of New York after Sandy. Another good reason for me to tithe to the Salvation Army, which I do, since they provide for the "least of these", which could be any of us in a disaster, and they also preach the word of the Lord, which gives people hope, meaning they'd be less likely to riot, murder, etc., IMO.

Kookyfornia has actually recommended that its residents have a TWO-WEEK supply of food, water and so on, in preparation for large earthquakes. Of course, life is so expensive over there that their recommendation may end up going largely unheeded; most people simply won’t have the money to do that.

Oh, and FEMA, Red Cross? BWAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA! Even the corporate scum do better than these folks in helping out people who need it, IMO.

Tolerance Sucks Rocks :" What is a spring house.
Is that a fancy word for outhouse, or is it a large storage shed?"

Actually , it is a little of both; an outbuilding which shaded and protected an underground aquifer.
Basically, its a shed over an underground spring.
The early settlers used the uprising water spring as a refrigerator to keep food longer, and chilled bottled liquids
since it ran cooler than surface water, and kept a constant temperature since the source is subterranean.
The amount of water flowage was irrelevant, what mattered is its' consistency as a year round drinking water source, and temperature control.
Similar to a root cellar for consistent temperature, except that a root cellar is dry food storage.

Dont know if Putin is evil.

Just brutal and has no problem taking a life if it’s an opponent.

Which is WRONG.

But evil should be left to those like hillary, who would detroy many women’s lives to let her husband keep power.

And would kill us deplorables given the chance.

I have several solar powered front yard lamps, the kind you put on a post at end of the front of your home's walkway. Can be set out in the sun or in a sunny window, then used at night. Got them online last year at Home Depots. Check the wattage, some offer better light than others. May be good for bartering too. 🙂

Yup, got a bunch of those too for comparable reasons: yard-decorative niceties that can be repurposed for candle-like indoor lighting in a pinch. Good point on bartering. Can usually buy smaller ones under $1 during fall clearance.

Problem is their batteries don’t last past two years (if one even).

Yeah, I noticed that about the batteries. Too bad - I think the ones I got are guaranteed for 3 years. I’ve got plenty of candles stocked up too. :)
