I feel the same way sometimes, although every day - with climate change, conflict and natural disaster - we seem to inch closer to a world where a prepper mentality makes more sense to the average person (either that or more calls for the government to "do something" :roll: (whatever that ...

I live alone & am pretty frugal with electricity, doing most stuff off-peak (when it is cheaper), but I do cook an...

The one time I went to Cuba, in 1999, it was hit by a hurricane (found out later it was Dennis, a Cat 2) This meant power outages and torrential rain & winds.
