12-15 are revealing. Guy is arguably a ‘prepper’ if low key.
He ran his generator A LOT. I guess he really DID have lots of fuel.
in HIS locale, I wonder what the demographics are, given no looting or otherwise uncivil behavior.
3 days is easy. Now make it 3 weeks, 3 months. etc.
Still revealing how fundamentally clueless most folks are.

Twill make you wish your home is situated such that GRAVITY will get your water AND flush the toilet Downhill....
We lost power for 17 days after Hurricane Ike.....and we were north of Houston.
We had a propane grill, so we could cook. We ran our generator a few hours in the morning and a few hours in the night.....so we were able to save the food. Did not have enough fuel to run it full time.
The only fuel we had was in our suburban.....a full 40 gallon tank. Everything was without power, even the gas stations.
A number of very large trees came down but fortunately we did not have major house damage.
A week can be easy if your house isn’t destroyed. Beyond that, it starts to get ugly.
a decent generator with a “light” load Fridge, Freezer, fans, kettle for hot water to make tea or coffee (plugged in as needed)tv, and 2 lights will run for 12 hours on 5 gallons.
Been there done that for ONE month after Katrina.
And since it’s summer in the South at that time, nobody wanted a hot shower ;)
