I've always believed in a good home supply of goods. Ever notice when there's a bad snowstorm forecast and the stores are packed the day before with people stocking up ? I'm usually sitting home because I'm already stocked ! I agree with everyone about having supplies and gear in vehicles in case you get stuck somewhere. Preps don't have to cost a lot either Sounds like most of us are outdoor guys and we probably have enough camping(emergency gear) on hand already. I stock up whenever grocery stores have their buy 1 get 2 type of specials. It's amazing how fast you can build up surplus without going broke. Bugging out is a last resort to me.Looking forward to more prep talk and new ideas from other members.

Ya buy 2 of every kind when ya buy. One for the locker and one to use.
Very interesting. I know that area very well. lol.
Knoxville, TN: This is the friendliest place I've ever been to in the U.S.
I was in a wedding where the bride was from Butler, TN, east of Johnson City. Most of the folks in that very rural area did so much with so little that I have no doubt that they will do well in a SHTF scenario. Remembering the way they lived helps me to re-adjust my SHTF planning a bit.
So, what would all of you do for heating if the scenario occured during the winter months and the power grid was lost?

I currently have a kerosene tower for backup and a few smaller propane heaters.Fuel for both as part of my"just in case plan". I always get a kick out of folks buying electric heaters for backup ?

Wood stove is first on the list. In my case I have a pellet stove with lot's of pellets. I also have a power set up to run it. It only draws 175 watts while it is running.
Now one other thought. For a smaller space Aladdin lamps give off 2500+ BTU's each and provide light. A couple of years ago we lost power for the night. I lit 2 aladdins in the living room. there is about 850' of space upstairs.
When we started it was 68 and 20 outside. after 3 hours I had to turn one off as it was up to 72 inside and 15 outside. Just some thoughts.
I see you running, tell me what your running from
Nobody's coming, what ya do that was so wrong.
coleman 1850 portable generator, transfer switch on the house, few gallons of gas on standby at any given time. Has worked well in the past. I was without power for about 48 hours one spring ice storm a few years back. Was able to keep the furnace running and the kitchen, alternating to lights and tv as needed.
Have propane heaters and propane usually on standby too. Various candles and white gas lamps for light if needed.
House is natural gas operated, so if I got a spark, I can usually keep the furnace and stove running too.
you can always burn the neibors house
