EditTips

  • A # 2 washtub will work to wash clothes in if the washer won't work.
  • Learn to can - or buy canned foods - they don't need refrigeration. 
  • Put up a clothes line, it works fine - when you can't use a dryer.
  • In an emergency we don't think clearly - so plan ahead. Keep what you need on hand.
  • Modern conveniences will be of no use - so find alternatives. Ask your self what other object can do the job in emergencies. 

EditWarnings

  • Be careful - burning poisonous substances may allow harmful fumes in to the air.  
  • Be careful when building fires outside if you have children, or loose clothing could catch fire.
  • Always have water handy to douse fires.
  • Before you throw things away - think - could I use that in an emergency!
