Don't know if someone suggested this but disaster movies are a great way to keep your prepper mindset intact. It protects you against prepper's fatique and could even start to teach your kids (or spouse) about preparedness.

Here's one :

Ya know, Chisel, I think you're right. We've been watching SGU (Stargate Universe) this week on Netflix and it's gotten the entire family to think a little bit more about prep pig. Though there's little chance that any of us are going to have to rush through a stargate to board an alien ship with little chance of ever getting home again, there's all kinds of little lessons in this show. We've had the same experience with other shows and movies too. Just don't let your preparedness mindset get in the way of enjoying the show!

to add to TeacherRO.... attempt to standardize batteries, especially if you live in a location (like the West Coast of Florida)that you know is a target for severe weather... if you don't have a genset, a controller charger that works off a 12v cigarette plug is an asset... I chose the Sanyo Eneloop AA platform... items pictured all run off the AAs



the 12v power tap and the controller charger that works with 12v cigarette plug works well, the GoalZero is really not necessary

Favorite daily prep: protein bars and water bottle in the backpack.
