Hi, Swansot. I also have several liquid laundry containers with the bulb and spigot. I use it for non-potable water. Are you able to get the detergent out? I’m not sure that laundry detergent is good to use for your hands. Plus, you have to hold the bulb with one of your hands.
I ended up buying these water containers with a spigot. You can adjust the flow and they are light enough for anyone to carry around. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09XKC18RV/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Never seen this contraption before. Thanks.
Do you have a link to what one looks like?
Interesting. I’ve heard of the cooling neck fans (I have 2) but not a cooling vest.
Definitely one of the rawer movies of the bunch.
Just watched Blackout, a 2013 UK docudrama about what might happen during a one-week power outage. A mix of the usual characters with footage shot with a home-made feel.
Our local CERT meets regularly for class training and events for CERT members to volunteer. They make an effort to bring the team together with activities after training exercises like a BBQ lunch. I bowed out after they wanted me to sign a form with some rather troubling language.
Just watched a 2016 Japanese movie called ‘Survival Family’ about a worldwide outage of all things electric and a family that travels cross-country to find the wife’s father. No zombies or gun battles but some real-life struggles and adventures. It’s interesting to see another culture’s take on how the apocalypse will unfold. Everyone seems a bit too respectful of each other. It can be watched on YouTube at https://youtu.be/OGk5pI6hfEc .
You can see other picks from theprepared at https://theprepared.com/prepping-basics/reviews/movies/. I actually liked No Blade Of Grass. I can see a lot of the scenarios really occurring during a crisis.

Don’t worry. Like Y2K, it will be forgotten in a few years. That’s just the way we Americans are.
Long-term care insurance is really a challenge these days. The industry underestimated how many people would claim long term care benefits. As a result, many companies have gotten out of the business and the few that remain offer policies that are unaffordable to most people. I was fortunate enough to get long-term care coverage earlier in my life. Most people laughed at me for getting it so young. They are not laughing now.
I am not an insurance specialist. However, there are a few key points I would like to make about life insurance. Life insurance is not needed if there is no income to replace. One of the main reasons to have life insurance is to replace income. If there is no income to replace, you may not need insurance. The amount of insurance needed is usually more than people think. For example, $1,000,000 worth of life insurance sounds like a lot. However, if you use the 4% rule, you should only spend $40,000 per year. This may be adequate for some people, but I know it would not be enough for me. Think of it like an escrow account whose investments need to generate enough income to last your lifetime.
I was watching a news program when a story came on about a family who was asked to pretend an emergency occurred and they had only 15 minutes to pack. It wasn’t so much what they took but what they left, like food for the dog and their cell phones (this was before smartphones). It started me thinking what I would have done in that situation and I didn’t have a good answer. Now I do.
Wow, that is quite a tribute about an airbed. I’m going to have to look into Exped Megamat.
Yes, It could definitely be problematic while you are trying to finish your transaction.
I just watched Fire in Paradise on Nexflix and was going to post a question around preparations for wildfires.
Thanks. I was looking for something smaller that could be placed on a countertop and easily moved.

I would just buy several RV hoses and connect them together. Spending some extra money on hoses can give you some peace of mind.
