Thanks, Marcella.

I think I bought my camp shower after you’d posted about them a year or so ago. I’d only pictured using them outdoors, at the time...ha! I need to make sure I have one with the temp gauge.

What a great idea....keep several....for showers AND for hands/sink.

From the time I started prepping, I tried to reproduce what I would lose if power went out - just get it another way.

I spent one day from the time I got up until I went to bed that night, documenting what I wouldn’t have if power never came back on. Then, I set about finding “fixes” to get back what loss of power took away. I used cheaper low tech instead of higher cost high tech to do that. As a result, I don’t have noisy generators, don’t store gasoline or huge amounts of propane.

I use a solar panel and numerous, as in A LOT, rechargeable batteries in the sizes I need. The solar panel has a port to recharge a cell phone or a Kindle device, plus all sizes of batteries used around a house. I have a portable battery TV and an old type phone that plugs directly into the wall. It works when power is out in my area but would not work if there was no power in the country as well as the battery TV would not work in that instance.

I have a battery operated short wave radio to continue to get info. from the country and the world as short wave will still be working if power goes out.

Jane, we will survive. :o)
