The littlest injury can take you out.

My wife loves different varieties of hot tea. Tastes just as awesome to me as a cold tea. Also have recipes on how to carbonate liquids. And a root beer recipe that can be made as well. So flavors and bubbles wont be lost.

Sounds like I should get some of the powdered Gatorade and add that to the stores. the local grocery here runs sales on it every once in awhile. Maybe vac-pac the canister to keep moisture out of it?

I must have got bite by spiders while weeding my garden on Tuesday. My middle finger, and thumb. Swole up bad, and the spot sturned black. Luckily for me the doc gave me some antibiotics. I also filled the prescription for pain pills, but those go into shtf storage. This is why I keep lots of antibiotics on hand, if the shtf I will be glad I got them.

Just cut it off and grow a new one, its faster.

Powdered Gatorade is great for electrolyte replacement. It's also nice for the kids to take the monotony of water. However I have found as my kids have gotten older they prefer water.

be careful with gaterade, and the ilk. those things are also crazy high in potassium, and there are a plethora of incidences of kids getting potassium poisoning, during sporting events. most rec sporting around here has banned Gatorade from games until a junior level (late teens)

Although... knowing this, I stock powder as well. day to day I drink water, but if I go out cutting wood for the day, I'll add gaterade! plan for caloric replacement vs, caloric expenditure!

Same here T. I only use it when working outside or hiking and sweating profusely.
