Other than the things we were actually going there to get, I started browsing the shelves with an eye on camping and bushcrafty things - products I could use directly or indirectly to fuel the fire of my hobby. I was at a dollar store the other day wandering around the aisles. A good option for this is an alcohol stove. You have a camping stove that runs on naptha but you'd rather use that outside so the fuel doesn't smell so strongly. After all that fussing around, you decide you want a nice cup of coffee and a hot meal. You find your 72 hour kit, first aid kit, candles, flashlights, your food supplies (some freeze-dried entrees and cans of food), water, radio and more. So you get out all the blankets in the house, and warm up the bed. You are told to expect that power will return in no less than 7 days. It is the middle of winter, and the battery-powered radio reports that a major substation has suffered an outage due to iced-over power cables. Okay, following up on a recent post about emergency preparedness, picture this: your power has just gone out.
