In my household we have a great love for what we call “good technologyâ€Â
By that we mean things that work in a simple, reliable way, and which for the most part are easily repairable.
Co-incidentally this sort of technology is ideal prepping material too.
Stuff like:
• Sailing dinghies,
• Row / paddle powered boats
• Bicycles ( especially old school friction shift geared models)
• Tandem bicycles
• Pre 1980s utility cars and motor bikes ( pre-dating electronic engine management units), especially diesel models ( yes, not a lot of diesel motorbikes I know!!!)
• Slide Rules
• Dynamo generators (don’t require electricity to start the generating process)
• Maps and magnetic compass
• Mechanical watches and clocks
• Air guns
• Bows for hunting
• Catapults
• Sythe / sickle for grass and crop cutting
What “ good technology†have other preppers identified and put into storage?
