Just started playing the harmonica. I only have one, an inexpensive 10 hole harmonica, at this time. It was a gift from a friend that knows I love learning to play musical instruments, and I didn't have one.

I am learning from different sites on the internet and I feel I am coming along well. I find myself carrying it with me everywhere I go. I find it very comforting. Definitely it will be a part of my bug out bag.

I plan to get more as I improve.

Watching my wife gut and skin kills will be plenty entertainment for me.

This is the best advice I've seen advocated in a while!

..and nothing better than the pleasurable scent books provide to your immediate surroundings!



A little warning to people who might not be familiar with books;
You might stumble upon pages with blocks of text, exceeding 280 characters, which can seem very daunting to plow through at first, but keep reading.. It gets easier with practice
