    Ways to make coffee in the woods 🤔

    I use an old fashioned percolator over a camp stove or even a fire with a grate

    Oh wow I love percolating coffee!! 😍👍I have an old glass one that I break out for holidays ....I don't know why I don't use it daily it blows away the kcup or instant that I usually "treat" myself too😒

    Ever secretly want the collapse of society? We need a reset button.

    I have romanticized that, yes. It’s a lot if the appeal in post-apocalyptic novels

    the only thing i remember (i think at least) from Alas, Babylon was the scene where someone dies from absentmindedly wearing a ring that had become irradiated after the fallout

    This was my life in the Marines. Wake up in the morning and not worry about what you were going to wear. Same clothes everyday. lol

    Into the Forest when the father dies because he was an idiot with a chainsaw...

    I was very recently trying to explain the appeal of this genre to someone who was more fed on adventure quest stuff and it was difficult to put into words. We almost had different worldviews and I wonder which came first.

    we haven't had a good old fashioned "what r ur post-apocalyptic plans" thread in a while now, but i feel like it'd just be all zombie-based responses, so better to just let it remain a dead topic probably.

    Now I'm thinking about what the best post apocalyptic outfit would be...if I only had one.
    It would have to be practical, easy to wash (in a lake or river?), dry quick...hmm

    Leggings definitely, for range of motion, running climbing etc. Tank top and a sweater with pockets...pockets that do up

    Actually, this just sounds like my "go to" fall, winter, spring outfit (except for the pockets that do up, is that even a thing on sweaters?)

    I'm stuck on the shoes tho, damn...even at the end of civilization I'll be hauling around a change of shoes "just incase".

    It’s like fall/winter hiking - light layers. Shoes are a problem though

    if i cant wear my skinny jeans in the post apocalyptic world i might as well be dead

    you'd never make it. one head shaving to prevent lice later and you'd be looking for a cave to hide in. also there would be a pack of coyotes in the cave and they'd have mange.

    maybe boots and a scarf, like knee high boots

    A scarf is a great idea, it could be multi functional

    You are right, who am I kidding, this would be me and I'd wear what I was told to....until I slaughtered the caravan leader, and went rogue, travelling only by night (only because I like to stay up all night and sleep all day!)

    Really wish I knew how to be gentle or loving to self. All I know is rough and brutal drag by the hair when it comes to me. A puppy today really made me feel like special for 1 min as he jumped up excited to hug me. I could cry inside right now as that’s the highlight of my week.

    I like reading post here it’s the closest I come to connection with others on fitness

    If you ever feel like picking up a new book - The Gifts of Imperfection by Brene Brown. It could be an excellent read for you. Also hugs, I've been there, and hugs are never a bad thing.

    Post apocalyptic stories are always told from the survivors point of view while the overwhelming majority of people involved don't make it through the event. short stories like ' asteroid struck and I slowly suffocated on the ash and dust", " shot to death by Walmart employee while trying to liberate supplies" or " power went out and my neighbor skulled me with a brick to take my bug out camper" that should be a genre. Guess just apocalyptic

    Because there’s no story there. And yeah, it’s definitely romanticizing. Like folks who think it’d be cool to live during the Renaissance. Maybe if you were ultra wealthy. MAYBE. But I really dig indoor plumbing

    I don't see the appeal of the post apocalyptic worlds portrayed in fiction and the movies. They just look stressful. There are no showers and no loose leaf tea. Not a world I yearn for.
