I didn't realize!

Rob works for WSP and also a hunter so the gun stuff is already taken care of;) I have said over and over again that I need to get a preparedness bag for the cars. Great job!Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05382258095230164921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1885823206913763143.post-79540681600616204302011-04-16T23:21:37.231-07:002011-04-16T23:21:37.231-07:00We store extra fuel to use in the generator and ve...We store extra fuel to use in the generator and vehicles.Currently we have about 40 gallons. Hubs does a good job of rotating the gas and testing the generator once a month.Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04450417105199027727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1885823206913763143.post-78742693562342689552011-04-16T13:34:06.464-07:002011-04-16T13:34:06.464-07:00Amy - a big gas can is a really good idea!

Whenever I think about prepping I tell myself to always keep a 1/2 or more full tank in our vehicles, but then in practice we drain the tank to the last drop... Silly really, because one of the top natural disaster reasons for us to need our preparations is forest fires - we would have to get out of dodge - thats hard to do running on fumes!<br />KatyFarming Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17938675746905624146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1885823206913763143.post-14708959933403813632011-04-16T12:49:16.263-07:002011-04-16T12:49:16.263-07:00Farming Mama, I'm so glad you joined the chall...Farming Mama, I'm so glad you joined the challenge this week! Thanks for linking up. One thing I've been meaning to research is an extra gas can (a rather LARGE gas can) that could go on top of the car on on the back so as to get us WAY out of Dodge if necessary. Our old suburban had a 42 gallong tank, but our current SUV only holds about 22. I'm thinking of adding this to my 72 hour kit preparations. Guns and ammo are good, too. My husband is working on permits, but I think I'm going to see about getting mine, too.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564840073358020600noreply@blogger.com
