...You don't have electricity or running water, but you DO have food and water and firewood and matches, and an entire shelf full of books (a Bible included), and candles.

And then...BLIZZARD! You wake up in the morning and find you are snowed in.

Well, that scenario DOES happen in my neck-of-the-woods about every 4-5 years, so my household has survived without electricity and snowed in.

1. Winter blankets
2. Firearm & ammo
3. Board games

The books have already been taken care of (hopefully there are some good titles).

Stationary and reams of papers
Board games
Winter clothes/blankets etc. (I've never before experienced a real Winter)

But truthfully, I'd probably spend most of the time reading the books in the bookshelves.

:D I said there were already books available (and a Bible too) so that people had to think of less common stuff...and so we wouldn't get the usual "Of course I would have to have my Bible with me" answers. I think it's working so far :D

Haha! Yes! You want to avoid the "oh, I better list my Bible, otherwise people won't think I'm serious about my faith" nonsense. :)

Exactly! It's just another way to Jesus Juke.

A good blanket, beef jerky, hot tea.
If the tea already counts as food, then my ocarina. I need to play music.

Mom! Jullianna took my answer!!! I'd also love a sewing machine. After the thaw, I'd pop out of that cabin with all kinds of jank in tow. Odd stuffed creatures, new cargo pants, at least two pairs of gloves... I guess I'll also need thread and fabric, and scissors and needles... can I just say I'd take fabric, a sewing machine, and a sewing kit? :D

Imagine you are in a small cabin out in the middle of nowhere by yourself. You don't have electricity or running water, but you DO have food and water and firewood and matches, and an entire shelf full of books (a Bible included), and candles.

And then...BLIZZARD! You wake up in the morning and find you are snowed in.

You don't know how long you will be stuck there.

What three items would you want to have with you?

I would want:

1. Canvas
2. Acrylic paints
3. Paintbrushes

I'd be teaching myself to paint (for real, not just this spray paint and rusty metal business).


1. A Godly wife, and before you say something . . .


Full Definition of ITEM

1
obsolete : warning, hint
2
: a distinct part in an enumeration, account, or series : article
3
: an object of attention, concern, or interest
4
: a separate piece of news or information
5
: a couple in a romantic or sexual relationship


And before you say something else . . .



OBJECT


noun \ˈäb-jikt, -(ˌ)jekt\

: a thing that you can see and touch and that is not alive


: someone or something that makes you feel a specified emotion


: someone or something that your attention or interest is directed toward



And that's it. One Godly wife and I'm set!

Tough snot! I followed the thread to the letter if not to the spirit. That is why I offered all supporting evidence. Darn, I should have been a lawyer! Besides, you didn't object to JimJimmers and Grace-Like-Rain! I object your honor! Besides, that leaves two more of my items that she can bring along with her three.

Neener, neener!

Oh, go watch yourself dance in the thread "Psst, over here," in Metro Station's "Shake It." Don't forget to eat your Vegemite sandwich while watching! :)

I already live like that most of the time.
When my best friend came over one time as I was playing my guitar by candlelight, He started into me.
Dude Why do you live like this!!!
---Live like what?
Its cold in here,
---you wanna borrow my jacket?
No, I can see my breath!!!
---well then quit breathing so hard
Light a fire Man you're gonna freeze during the middle of the night
---don't need a fire until it gets below 50, the human body puts out 20,000 BTU so I can crawl under my blanket.
and shovel your driveway, I almost got my truck stuck coming up
---Who said I was expecting company, get a different truck, my old ford makes it up just fine.
I came over to bring you some leftovers from dinner, thought you might like that
---I shot some squirrel earlier, its pretty good want some?
You cant live on squirrel man!!!
---Hmmm funny, I aint dead yet
And set your freakin clock, its been stuck at the same time for the last 8 months, its kinda freaky
---When Im home it doesnt really matter what time it is. Here I'll go move the minute hand for ya if it'll make you feel better.
Im worried about you Bro

---worried about me?
Your fancy 50,000 dollar truck with GPS navigation you brag about cant make it up my driveway, you're worried you might miss your favorite tv show or be home late so you have to know what time it is instead of just looking out the window to know if its dark or light outside, are reliant on a power company which part of your paycheck goes to to be a slave to your tv and a grocery store to feed yourself, you need a gas powered log splitter instead of getting your Mtn. exercise by going outside and splitting your wood as God intended,
and by the looks of that belly you're getting, id say I'm more worried about you.

So I'd bring what I already have

1. My wolf, since wolves have down fur and hair insulated feet which inherently allow them to sleep on top of the snow, so theres extra warmth if you need it too hence where the term
"3 Dog night came from." And there's nothing quite as soothing as a wolfsong in the morning to wake you up, kind of like a whalesong in the quiet of the ocean.
2. My rifle
3. And my guitar, the only thing more soothing than a wolfsong is a little live music to tie up the end of a day and some praises to the Lord
Everything else one can be able to know how to make, grow or hunt for.

I have a job and work too, but its funny how my fancy college degree only taught me how to work for the benefit of others.
When being self sufficient isn't taught much anymore.
And the more I think about it the more I wonder if that's one of the schemes the enemy has propagated to make us reliant on others such as the Govt. which
could bite one on the backside at some point.
Such as senate bill S510 which would preclude the public’s right to grow, own, trade, transport,share, feed and eat each and every food that nature makes.
Not gettin all political here, just contemplating.

Urgh. You're not a regular to the fun threads, are you?
Your suggestions are good but you're taking this way too seriously. Not everything needs to be politically-minded.
