Thanks, Woodsrunner. Wow, FarmGirl! You had a mini BugOut yourself. Nasty business to get all that dust cleaned up. Wearing masks? Good luck with now extensive repairs. 🙁
Dala Barns….how did you fare? Hope you didn’t make too many mosquitoes happy.
Anyone looking for tents might check thrift stores. People get excited about camping, go a couple times, then donate the stuff to thrift store after ants get into the butter. {roll eyes} Look for good name brands cuz cheap tents won’t last but a few nights; usually not worth the energy of putting them up. In a real BO, that could be dangerous. When using a tube tent in emergency, check wind direction before setting it up….just sayin’. 😉
Corsaire…..can the aforementioned snakes get into vehicles? If something happened to your house [hope not!!] could you sleep safely in your vehicle? Ugh…I detest/fear snakes…especially those rude enough to be poisonous!
Hoping to read about more folks who camped rough last nite. Our temperatures went down to the upper 30s with a 40mph WIND roaring down our valley. WIND still here. Golden bits [aspen leaves] and dust flying wildly northeast. [weird jet stream right now] I woke up chilly in my bed at 7am. We turn furnace way down at night but wow. House is not tight and WIND makes a big difference in heating it. Still thinking on this Challenge. Wonder if drinking ginger tea would warm the innards enough to stay warm, if ever needed in extremes?
OldMtWoman …working around aging/disabilities ..hmph
