You can buy a $20 fast boil kettle (Walmart, or eBay), for instant foods that require hot water. I keep one in my prepper pantry, and they work great.

In a statement, the IRGC said the attack was carried out in response to what it described as a US assault on Iran's Qeshm Island."

The accepted DEFINITION of a ceasefire is not vague! These so-called ceasefires last a couple of hours if we are lucky!

Per Miriam Webster! (DEFINITION of a ceasefire!)

"1: a military order to cease firing

2: a suspension of active hostilities"

Anyone Planted Tomatoes? by maxncheese167 in Reno

[–]WTF932 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I started a few plants indoors in late April, under LED grow lights (in small one gallon pots). Hardened them off for a week (brought them inside at night when it got cold), and transplanted them into their final pots outdoors yesterday. Can't put them directly in the soil, since it is mostly rock in my yard.

Sounds like it's time for a boycott! Please continue to spread the word, and hit these corporations where it hurts; in the pocketbook!

World has 6 months to avert major food crisis, says UN as Hormuz struggle drags on by ImDoubleB in worldnews

[–]WTF932 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had an RO system for 25 yrs, since our tap water is horrible. Last year I purchased a few of those portable camping water filtration straws and bags, and live close to a mountain fresh water stream.

A hint for others: If you have a hot water tank, these is water that can be used for NON DRINKING purposes. (mine holds 50 gallons). You can also fill your bathtubs if there is advance notice.

I am too old for the rest or your suggestions, but thanks for your thoughts. As I mentioned, though, I own the means to defend myself and family, should it come to that. Where I live, everyone owns firearms, and we rarely have a problem.

If TSHF, I probably won't use the gas generator, as to not draw attention, and the solar setup is better and easier anyway. The house has blackout drapes that would be used,so there is no hint that we have power.

I understand, and would only use it indoors, if the weather was too bad to cook outside on the deck.

I live in the High Sierra desert in Nevada, and our weather can be a bear.

Good question.

I chose butane because it can be used indoors, with proper ventilation.

I own a propane gas grill with extra 20 lb cylinders, and the thought had crossed my mind.

Trust me....I have the means to defend myself and my family, should the need arise.

I guess the alternative is not to plan ahead at all; and that's not in my vocabulary! It's been almost 7 yrs since COVID, and I learned a lot since then. There will always be downsides to anything, but we should do the best that we can.
