What have done towards your prep?

If things go past my stored propane I will pull the wood stove off the back porch into the house and fire it up.

With us still measuring by the pound over here I store the 20# tanks due to them being a size I can tote and place. I forgot how many are in the shed, 5-6 with one half full on the BBQ.

My "most used" cold weather gear uses the small 1# canisters, and I have an adapter to transfer propane from 20# to the 1# size.

The 1# gives me 5 hours of burn time for the heater, or 6 hours of light with accompanying heat from the light. 4 days of heat or light.

I have never experienced a power outage of more than 2 weeks, though I have lived without utilities for years on end. In those years I was set up for it and that made it a sight easier. Functioning without grid in a home not designed to operate off grid is a perpetual PITA!
