Off-Grid emergency heating for bug in.

[rbeau30]

We have a radiant style kerosene heater with enough kerosene to last for at least a few days. If the need extends beyond a week or so, more kerosene will have to be found/procured. Now that you mentioned it, I'll probably stock up on a few more 5-gallon cans of kerosene. Not much of a plan, but at least it will get us through a short-term outage.

Yeah I was thinking about those really cold cold days that can happen. I will do what Kazoo suggested... shut down the rest of the house, define one area for living area, probably the most interior of spaces.

I like the soap stone stove idea. Can you just put those in any house? basically cutting a hole in one of the walls for the chimney? I have a gas fireplace, but gas will not be around forever. Plus it requires electricity. I can run it off of a couple C-cells in theory and there is a place to put batteries in a battery pack, but that isn't forever.

Layers of preparedness. Short term i have a Mr Heater, but I need to start thinking about what if...
