If you’d asked me at the beginning of this week, “If it were all going to fall apart tomorrow, what panicked preparations would you take,” I would only have been able to think of one: I’d do something about all those empty propane bottles.
And now I have!
Tobie helped.
ETA: Meant to add that, unlike the last time the price of gasoline skyrocketed, so far at least locally the price of propane hasn’t mirrored it. Mid-grade gasoline is selling for about $3.50 here at the moment but I only paid $2.57/gallon for the propane and that’s not significantly higher than it was before the new administration improved things. So I beat the inevitable inflation.
“before the new administration improved things” for a narrow set of values for the meaning of “improved”.
Good for you getting fully fueled, Joel.
I did my part last week by using my “stimulus money” to build a SHTF 200W PV setup. The electric infrastructure may fail, but by dog I will have my morning coffee and some ice in my evening hooch.
” “If it were all going to fall apart tomorrow, what panicked preparations would you take,””
I would have thought water.
Water’s handled.
After the crazy summer we’ve been having, it’s great to know that you’re ready for a possible crazy winter. Water, propane and hopefully food for you and Tobie.
Add firewood to that list?
Yeah but I don’t have to buy firewood. I’m going to cut and burn the same amount, at the same price, whether the world outside my gulch is functioning or not.
