We had an ice storm back in like 2001 or so that left us without electricty for almost a week. What fun cooking chili on top of the woodstove and heating up pots of water. It was so wonderful to take a shower after it was all over. Lack causes more appreciation. 

Interesting how I had already bought portable battery charger a couple of months ago and just bought some new aa and 9 volt batteries a couple of days ago. A few weeks ago I went thru hall closet and he and I sorted thru old batteries. He was reluctant to do it and threw a fit because he couldn't figure out why I am going through all this stuff sorting and organizing stuff.  

Recently I was talking to hub and said we need all these things and more just in case something happens. We still need walkie talkies and cb citizens band radio. A mini portable tv ..we used to have an old black and white television that worked pretty good. Have no idea what happened to it.
