You won’t hear me saying it’s a crazy idea. I just think it’s prudent under any circumstances. Our grandparents, great-grandparents, etc. did it. It was not thought of as crazy. It was just something smart people did to survive whatever came their way. Most people wouldn’t know how to survive if they couldn’t stop at the grocery every night to buy their dinner, let alone how to cook it if there was no electricity.
Boy, you got that right.
Very true. I'm used to no electricity while camping, I insist we all still do it once a year, even though a few of my kids don't like it. Came in handy during our October surprise storm here in NY. Had no power for 10 days and did just fine. Hubby still marvels that I didn't whine.
It's good to know I can do it. ;)
