Survivalist Tip: Among the many things you might need during the likely power outages is cooking oil. Without it, foods must be boiled in water. There are different types of vegetable oil: corn, coconut, almond, olive, peanut and soybean. Oil from the face of your teenaged kids doesn’t qualify. Vegetable oil has been used as a cooking aid for at least 4,000 years. The ancient Mayans used coconut oil to prepare rice, corn and chicken flautas. But, they and other highly-advanced peoples of their time, like the Egyptians and Chinese, also used vegetable oil for health benefits. Vegetable oil baths can relieve muscle aches, respiratory ailments and hemorrhoids. Vegetable oil can even provide some sexual relief, but in the chaos of the apocalyptic aftermath, you shouldn’t be worried about that. You can warm up vegetable oil in pots or pans over a fire pit you build in your back yard or balcony of your luxury condominium. Keep it in glass or metal containers in a warm dry place to prevent spoilage. It may be a while before power is restored after the upheaval. Once things settle down in the “New Universe,” you can use any leftover vegetable oil for all the baths and sex acts you want. Believe me – I’ve tried that. It feels great! Even if I am the only participant!
