It’s all common sense stuff.

One other item is a special fuel reserve for labor saving tools. Many will have gas for a generator, ATV or other vehicle, but IMO the most important fuel supply is for that chainsaw, log splitter, air compressor or garden tiller.

Just think, winter has set in and while you are struggling to get that firewood hand chopped and split you get sick from exhaustion. When your priorities were to keep the generator running or to drive around spent all fuel supplies.

This is a separate fuel supply and off limits except for those special uses.

Another special use reserve would be for a bug out vehicle. If your situation becomes such that you have to abandon all and just get out, that gas could come in handy.

I have five jerry cans. Each one has a number. Every Monday I empty one and go refill it. I know it’s not much, but with a full gas tank and those cans...I can drive to get my daughter and bring her home to the outpost!

This is why a rocket stove is good—you can burn whatever you pick up off the ground. Less cutting and splitting.

Also, KOBALT makes a great battery operated chainsaw. Uses a lithium ion battery that charges in 60 minutes.
