My prediction is that in about half a year, we'll see used generators
going cheaply. Buy up, and be ready for the next storm.

Spring and summer are the good times to score snowmobile and decent
insulated ski suits from the Goodwill etc, along with mummy bags and
x-country skis. If ya get snowed in..you can be quite mobile with a
pair
of used Cross Country skis and "shoes", picked up at the second hand
store for $5 (dont forget the ski poles of a proper length). Even if
you havent used x-country skis before..they are simple enough when on
the flat.

Coleman stoves and lanterns are also found regularly at secondhand
stores and swap meets/yard sales. Test em and be sure to replace the
generators on them if they show any sign of acting up, and keep a
couple
dozen mantles on hand with some stick matches. WHile Coleman type
fuel
is prefered..any gasoline lantern will actually work ok with
automotive
fuel Just dont store them with automotive gas in them, else it turns
to
goo and plugs up everything over time..and not a long time either.

A Coleman lantern will do a fair job of heating a single average sized
room for at least 6 hours on a few ounces of fuel. Same with the
Coleman 2 and 3 burner liguid fuel stoves, which hold about 8 ounces
of
liquid fuel at a time, and allow you to cook as well as warm up a
room.

They do generate some CO..so keep some ventelation going.

Political Correctness

A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical liberal minority and
rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media,
which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible
to pick up a turd by the clean end.
