Food For Thought

Do you have enough food stored to eat for two weeks if you lost power?

What's the prepper mindset for? Like. Should we be worried and if so then what should we be worried about? (saw the book post and that you mentioned 'prepper mindset' which makes me think of those survivalist ppl in usamerican reality shows who live in the middle of nowhere and hoard food? cuz that's only where I've seen it and even then I dont fully get it tho)

I mean, there's a lot of definitions of "prepper" out there, and those shows definitely show one possibility there. Gun nuts who hoard weapons are, unfortunately, another. But neither of those is quite what I'm going for myself...

For me personally, it's sort of a general desire to be prepared for emergencies. Most likely natural disasters, possibly terrorism or a civil war or some such.

The goal: have basic supplies at hand (food's a big one, and water, batteries/power packs, flashlights, extra clothes, some other basic tools, I'm not too concerned with weapons myself), know where they are, know how to use them.

Things like going off-grid or being able to live in the wilderness are part of some preppers' goals, but not mine. And I'm not terribly concerned about the end of civilization as we know it, either. I'm not trying to live in fear--I have an anxiety disorder, I don't need any extra fear there, lol.

But if you have the time, money, and energy for it--which I fortunately do--it doesn't hurt to get a little bit extra together just in case you end up being unlucky and have to deal with, say, a blizzard that knocks out your power, or a wildfire that's heading towards your house, or possibly some sort of terrorist attack or riot but those really are less likely than the above, especially for usamericans like myself.

Obviously those odds do shift based on location. Here in Chicago, I don't really have to be prepared for a hurricane, and earthquakes and volcanoes would also have to be something big and rare (New Madrid fault acting up again or Yellowstone megavolcano blowing, respectively). If I were in Florida, hurricane preparedness would be more important, but I could ditch blizzard supplies. And get outside the US and those odds might shift further--if you're in Ukraine, for instance, stuff for war and physical combat might well be one of the major concerns to prepare for.

Really, much of what I get is either just more of the stuff I'd use anyway (ex. I use battery packs for my phone regularly enough anyway, but instead of just having one or two, I have several as back-ups) or little things that might be handy to have even in a non-emergency situation and aren't difficult to buy or store just in case (ex. paper clips, rubber bands, safety pins... I might not have a specific plan for them but they're good to have on hand).

And I know the post you mentioned, and while it's not traditional prepper stuff, I do think that reading material, whether physical or electronic, is a good thing to have on hand just in case as well. A bit to learn new stuff, but mostly to stave off the boredom. ADHD brain wants options for how to spend time if the Internet goes down, and books and ebooks are a good solution there.

Flour storage day!

Vacuum sealing a bulk pack of flour in 2-lb portions using paper lunch bags. Store it in a cool dark place and it’ll last much longer than what the expiration date on the original packaging says.

2 lb portions so I can open only what I need, when I need it!

There is always some nook or cranny that can be used to store preps. Be creative.

It’s so hard to find good information about fans in history.

I think hand fans and other cooling devices are very important for us to learn about and make. We have a warming climate. That warming climate is partially caused by our attempts to keep cool. We need to reduce our reliance on electric and fossil fuel cooling systems. Our infrastructure is not going to stay as stable as it is. Having alternative and effective ways of cooling is a survival necessity for us and for the planet. I remember weeks without power after Katrina and other hurricanes and it being so damn hot you couldn’t think.

But fans aren’t something you find a lot of research about, or a lot of practical guides to. There’s a few reasons for this.

1. Fan” is a word with two meanings, and the one we are using it for is vastly less popular.

2. There’s not a lot of additional words you can add to a search that will clarify what you are looking for (plus, search engines are getting worse)

3. Many fans didn’t survive well in the archeological record. Many of the materials rot fast and break apart easily. Additionally, broken fans may have been used for secondary purposes in food production, arrow making, etc, that leaves little evidence of even broken fans around.

4. Fans that are preserved in museums and private collections are rarely the very practical, every day fans people actually used. Preserved fans are typically status symbols or art pieces that would have seen less use and less wear and tear.

5. A lot of people who don’t think very deeply about this kinda assume that fans didn’t really exist before or outside of the East Asian folding fan…which is just,… not true. Regardless, most of the focus of writing about fans is on this one specific category of fans. Which, the information can be helpful, but is limited in scope.

Anyway, if you have any information, articles, books, or museum pieces to direct me to please let me know.

Alternatively, please feel free to reblog this with examples of your cultures traditional cooling systems, whether they are fans, construction styles, clothing, etc.
