A reminder: it’s flu season. Go buy waterproof mattress covers and put them on your mattress if you haven’t already. You’ll be less upset if someone vomits in bed and there’s a waterproof mattress cover underneath of the sheets. #prepper
Working on my #SHTF equipment - I have a proper RS232C port! And a CD-ROM and 1.44 Floppy drive! Hard disk still works; not sure if I could get a replacement or some kind of SSD. Plus I installed the last decent version of Windows! And Firefox v12. The legendary ThinkPad keyboard is incredible :) #RetroComputing#Prepper
About a year ago, the #8bitGuy made a video about his relatively low cost preparation for a #poweroutage using #solar, a #Solargenerator and other items. Much better than any #prepper videos on the topic I've seen since he goes thru pros and cons. This guy is in #texas and is into #retrocomputing and #retrogaming. Seems relevant especially now due to all the #disasters and problems such as the #heatdome which are leading to power outages last few years.
Yes you should be prepared to carry a lot of weight for long distances, but if you have good cardio/running/long distance hiking training and do any amount of lifting. You'll be fine.
Build your bug out kit ultralight with a decently heavy duty pack and you'll have no problems.
SHTF is honestly unlikely, but permanent back and knee damage from prepping is VERY likely.
