What a lot of people don’t know is that those rolling blackouts also left a lot of New Mexico without natural gas! Right in the middle of winter. If I was to install a generator I think I’d have to go with natural gas one, but this incident is a great example of two things everyone needs know, first there is no ‘one size fits all’ in prepping and two just how dependent and interdependent we are on the electrical grid.

If the lights go out, I'll just revert to living like I did up in the mountains. It's a good feeling to know I can do it throughout the entire year, summer and winter.

The part of Rio Rancho where I lived had natural gas but gas was cut off in parts of Bernallio. It doesnt happen much but it could happen again.
