This is something I've learned through trial and error. My mom has been on my back all weeklong, telling me to make this list and to keep that in mind. My excitement at going on my first ever camping trip with my children and grandkids was all that I shared with my mom. Now, she's all over me, giving guidance and advice regarding every possible scenario. I don't mind my mom's talking, let alone listening to her lectures makes me uneasy So I attempted to wrap it up quicker than I ought to have. This was a huge error.We left with our car and set off to find the campsite. I wanted to recreate the rustic experience as my father and so I decided to go to a remote location that turned out be in a large zone that was not accessible to service. It meant our smartphones were out-of-service and we were basically the only campers in the region. I can't blame them, I was hoping for a wonderful time off work, three days out in nature, in nature.. But we were back in our cars returning home 24 hours after the camping trip began.What was the situation? What's happened? I had a laptop and a handful of games online. It never made it out of my bag. I had a beautiful backdrop ready for the trees to show my projector which I brought with me to make big-screen effects movies. There was no Internet access to Hulu, Netflix, or Disney+. All they wanted was to check their emails, text messages or school-related issues. We packed and made our way back. My kids made sounds similar to piglets eating delicious food when they emerged from the WiFi?-free zone. I love my children. However, it was embarrassing, they squealed and groaned when their phones started ringing and signalling incoming text messages and emails.Since then, I've learned to plan better and strive not to go through an internet-less zone, with only a few roaming. On our long boat ride towards our destination, I realized I needed two tablets and my laptop to keep me entertained. My tablet has Hulu offline videos on one hand, and Netflix films on the other. My laptop contains everything I have in my music and films. I have about 600 hours of watching materials, including full Will & Grace, Friends and South Park seasons and added episodes. https://botanycereal8.doodlekit.com/blog/entry/19996141/the-app-offers-a-fun-way-to-have-fun-you-get-mp3s-at-no-cost-and-the-app-has-a-great-attitude There are many fun videos for children. I downloaded some YouTube? music videos and converted them into MP3 and MP4 formats. I discovered this app that allows me download video directly onto my laptop. This lets me play the videos offline at anytime I want as long as I have enough electricity. I DVR lots of TV shows, movies as well as Online Lectures. These videos I save in MP4 on my laptop. After that, I play them with VLC, KMP, or virtually any video file which supports 4K.<img width="379" src=" |
