Dabum, Don't forget beer is really just liquid carbohydrates. Allows for good long term storage of "food" without refrigeration. Should always be on the top of your list. Steaks in the freezer will go bad but the beer won't. hehehehe Michael

dabum most here will not be doing that. The last time we had a big power outage gas was gone because it couldn't be pumped. I had gas and cash ... so I was free :O) FWIW.. I keep three 5 gallon cans all through the year but am less faithful about rotating them in the summer.. when the living is easy.. It's a habit I picked up from being snowed in during snow storms growing up... When you live in a place where bad weather happens... shame on you if you are not prepared.. I'm not really adding to the conflagration here :O) I also have two propane tanks rotating always.. (well 4 now that I bought a travel trailer :O) Our gas prices popped 13 cents a litre before Ike even hit land.. and have been stable since.. And yes I picked up a few extra beers too :O) A couple of small generators that can fit in the trailer and be used as home backup are on the preparedness agenda.. Beer is better chilled ;o) The Black Swan
