Fuels To Store For Survival | episode 161
This week I talk about fuels to store for survival. With the terrible hurricane and floods in Texas gas has gone up in price and shortages are occurring.
The reasons to store fuel are many. Two of my favorite are saving time and money.
Before Hurricane Harvey gas here was $1.90. A very affordable price after the heights we saw a few years back.
A week later and prices are close to $3. If you had stored gas before the disaster you would have saved a good bit of money.
That’s only one type of fuel I talk about in today’s episode.
Topics
- Gas
- Propane
- Kerosene
- Wood
- Charcoal/Coal
