[QUOTE="ALOG, post: 53326, member: 696"] I'm definitely a prepper, kind of a subtle one too. I have a family of seven including myself. I collect different parts to do different things along the way. Some years back we got hit with a big snowstorm which took out power in Columbia, SC. My family was surprised to find we did great, I drug out all the things I had collected for just this kind of scenario, we ate fine and stayed warm for four days and had to be told the power was back on by a neighbor. I've since moved to the country, and began again. My family calls what I collect now, "shapes". I go through thrift stores not looking for items, but particular shapes which will combine for larger functions. I rarely know what the shape is for when I buy it, just that it is particularly attractive to certain projects I have laid by. But, as I teach my children, this is prepping in luxury, the real task of any human, is to be able to adapt wherever they find themselves, and this takes a retraining of our habit of labeling things by their known functions. We too often think of things as only what they were commercially intended to be. I retrained myself by only noting the shape of items, thereby opening up a more abstract thought process. Necessity need not be the mother of invention - unless entrainment is present. ALOG [/QUOTE]
