I love stuff like this. My friends in school would laugh at my being a bit of a survivalist, but even if it’s something as ‘simple’ as the power going off or being sick and unable to get to the store, it’s good to have a way to light a room or have something to eat.
I’m not sure I have anything to add to these great posts, but I will tell a ‘blond’ story on myself. I woke up one morning and the power was out. No problemo. I’d just go in the kitchen and whip up some breakfast. I thought I’d use my small smoothie maker - after all, it’s small, it shouldn’t use a lot of electricity. Of course I could use it during a power outage, right? It took me a couple of times pressing the button to realize, ‘Oh yeah, the power’s out, even to the little appliances, you idiot.’ Usually I’m not so dense; maybe I wasn’t fully awake yet. : )

Of course you were still asleep.
Welcome to the thread.
What is my excuse, when I sit here and try over and over to connect to the internet, when it is clear the server is down?
