Could be a good barter trade. I remember Selco had talking about having a set-up for refilling lighters that he used for barter business.

Well I have uses for the small cans, got five or six of the single mantle propane lights that screw onto the tops of the small bottles.

When the power is out, I can light my house almost as bright as when the juice is on!

Still flip the switch when I go in a room though... duh...

Also got a couple camping cooking burners that fit on the tops of the bottles.

Heck, last time when the juice was out (3 days) I was snug in front of my pellet stove (running off my generator) drinking hot coffee and eating scrambled eggs and hash browns. My neighbor even asked me pretty please if I could charge her cell phone, so I said sure...

I tell people to be prepared because if and when it hits, I DO NOT WANT to have to work with a bunch of people who are hungry or grouchy or cold or mad because they didn’t get a decent nights sleep.

People need to get with the program!!

BTW, as soon as I fired up the generator I took to wearing my sidearm...

That's exactly where I got the idea.

I actually made an adapter before I found the one at Harbor Freight.

I intend to barter a refill of those little critters.
