Episode 28 – About Entertainment and Preparedness Planning

What happens if the power goes out?
Might have radio. Might have lights from candles or lanterns or back up generator. Might have a lot of work to do to get ready for the remainder of the challenge.
For a few hours this is okay.
For a few days, this is drudgery.
What will you, your family and your neighbours do without TV, video games and the Internet? Same thing you do every time the power goes out. Get to know each other over a game of cards or someone playing guitar. Entertainment is an oft neglected part of preparation planning. Don’t let it be.
