The little things (on a budget)

[jerrymrc]

I have not been around as much as I would like but today I got to thinking about this section again. We have posted many threads and topics and it is kind of all over the map. This thread is about the little things that do not cost an arm or a leg that are items that one might not think about until ya need them.

Many of the items I will put up here are under $10 but nice to have. I keep a couple of boxes put away with these just for a rainy day.

First item. A sewing kit. A couple of the dollar store ones coupled with a couple of large rolls of green, black and one or two other colors of large rolls. This gets ya enough stuff for $5 to put away. A more heavy duty sewing kit. HF has these for around $6 and they come with 4 needles and 180 yards of heavy duty thread. Very handy to have and cheap enough to stick in the box.

A solar shower. Under$10 to $20. A very good way here in Colorado to have hot water. 60-105 degrees in 3 hours. Keeps one from having to use your propane or other fuel to heat water for any purpose.

Window kits. I have many that I buy on season end close out for under $5. These could be very useful in many ways keep a couple on hand.

And last for today. Lighters/matches. I like the long ones. yes, there are 27 million ways to start a fire or light your candles but these are only $1 each and handy to have a few put away.

More later.
