[quote:Pooka:MV8zOTYyNTk1XzcxODYwNzUwX0NGMjI3NDhE] [quote:whispering leaves:MV8zOTYyNTk1XzcxODYwMDEwX0FFMDFBNzBD] Pooka, it's occurred to me suddenly to ask if you have some version of a 'hanging pocket organizer.' Here's one from Amazon (I know people pick on Bezos here but I really use the hell out of my Prime membership:)) https://www.amazon.com/Brotrade-Hanging-Jewelry-Organizer-Jewelries/dp/B01CPHFPGY?psc this is an interesting store, but the price is higher; still, it gives one an idea: https://www.containerstore.com/s/jewelry-storage/hanging-jewelry-storage/80-pocket-canvas-hanging-jewelry-organizer/12d?productId=10014111 For everybody: just type that search term in and you're going to see at least a hundred varieties, sizes, brands and prices of this. Posters here brought some excellent reminders to stock little bitty things that can be hard to find under stress: pins, needles, tweezers, clippers, dental floss, etc. I have one of these for finding little things that tend to get lost in drawers and just love it - so much so that I sent my mother one too, immediately. If you put the little items in these transparent pockets, you can always find what you're looking for and can grab them all like a suitbag too - which can be gently rolled up and stuffed in a trash bag for bugout transport. This is cool.

Laid out a flat piece of fabric, denim to be exact, then used strips of denim, laid out my tools, marked where to sew the strips to fit the tools, and VOILA! I think I wore that one out, and made a new one. It's hanging on the wall in the garage just inside it from the kitchen door, and everything is there - hammer, saw, wrenches, everything, right where you can see them, plus two big pockets on the bottom for things that don't fit in the strips, like coils of wire and such. This would work for anything - could be cleaning tools, or the things as in the illustrations - hair items, anything. So handy and so easy to make if you sew. Clear plastic thick enough to sew is available if you wish to have transparent pockets. [/quote]

Continuation of another thread of wonderful people with the best ever ideas for practical prepping even for those with little money.
We discuss power outages including CME and EMP, heating and cooking methods, first aid, foods; we run disaster scenarios to see if we know what to do.
This is probably the only prepping thread a person would need, whether long-time prepper here to share, or newbie prepper here to learn and everyone in between.
Welcome!! Join us! Learn! Teach! Enjoy!!
