Re: Any other "preppers"?
interesting reading for sure. I am not by any real means a true prepper. however after being threw the Northride earthqauake and living outside for a week tring to get life back together far enugh to move back in to a house with in excess of 80k worth of damage tought me a lot, and quickly.
to this day I keep all my camping gear in one spot in the house. among this is 2 makeshift cooking grills, homemade sterno, pots,pans, etc.
I always have canned food in the pantry. enugh for one to two weeks. just the way I live, being just me and the wife. I try to keep an extra 50 lbs bag of dog food too.
My house has 100 gallons of worth of water between both hot water heaters.
I try to keep my fuel tank as full as possible too. that 120 gallons of diesel fuel That can get me between 1800-2200 miles or a few days worth of oil to burn if needed. being that I drive an oil burner fuel is all over the place everything from atf to kerosen to used engine oil if done right.
I also try to keep my small torch tanks full as well. its a great thing to have if you know how to use them. every thing form starting a fire to fixing pipes.
