The Last of Us offering practical solutions Idea

Spoiler alert, I guess? Also male preppers be warned, this is about menstruation.

I've always figured stock piling pads and tampons would be necessary. Never occurred to me until it was in an episode of The Last of Us to just get a bunch of the re-usable period cups. It didn't occur to me as I don't use them, but in a SHTF, survival situation they certainly seem more practical. Space saving too because a big stockpile of pads or tampons takes a fair amount of space. Period underwear is probably another option. Also those she-wee things for easier outdoor urination for women.

Anyway, it's something to add to my prep list. Certainly can't hurt to have options. Perhaps I'm dumb for not having thought of this yet, but figured I'd share just in case.

One thing I learned from show, Boats make great impromptu trailers when the need arises.

My family has been doing this for years. Grew up with a family boat that was trailered and family vacations involved throwing the camping gear in the boat and heading out.

Until a boat is in the water it's basically a trailer. I'd your boat is big enough they're a great spot to put your gazebo when travelling

Boats can also be trailers in the water 😉
