Disaster
planning should be part of every single household across America, strike that,
the world. When disaster strikes, people die or lives are changed. In times of
plenty, forego the Playstations and buy extra food. You can explain a lack of
toys better than a lack of food to your children.
Three
years ago, our home caught fire. I spent time in intensive care and almost died,
thus I know from whence I speak.
As
we go into our third season of "This Old Shack", disaster planning and
survival episodes become more important. After all, that's what alternative
energy is - the ability for you to survive without an infrastructure. All of our
episodes of This Old Shack and our new show, "CSI:SALINE" will reflect
this in 2009. Oh, of course there's going to be laughs and beer drinking - this
survival crap is depressing to think about.
So,
practice your fire drills with the crumbcrunchers, practice evacuating
yourselves, your pets, your neighbors. Learn how to use a fire extinguisher. And
watch our videos!
