Propane goes though an adapter hose, not a cable.

I have a little brass adapter that I use to fill the 1lb bottles from 20lb tank. Doesn't fill them all the way, only about half but even 1/2lb lasts weeks on the two burner camp stove and it's a much smaller bomb to keep indoors. I also have a couple adapter hoses but they have check valves so they can't be used for refilling small bottles.

Do you have winter where you live? Got heat?

We heat strictly with wood already and our wood stove has a flat top that we can cook on. I keep two years of firewood on hand. I built an offset smoker last year and we can cook a shitload of food for a little wood.(and a lot of time)

We lived off grid for 5 years while we were looking for land and then clearing the land we finally found for house, barn, garden, electric easement etc so we're already used to living primitive. We've got a solar panel setup but need new batteries for it. The old ones lasted for 10 years. The cabin is still lit mostly with 12vdc LED lighting.

Our land is right up against a National Forest and we have maybe a dozen neighbors within a 5 mile radius and I'm friendly with all of them. We're 100 miles from a major city and are in hill country. No hordes of city zombies will be walking here. My buddy up the road is a prepper. We have a survivalist community a few miles away. I've met one of the guys but I need to get to know him/them better. Might be a place to go if things get real bad. Strength in numbers. We moved here from the very diverse Ctrl FL. Nearest town now is 18 miles away with 13 of it being gravel road. I haven't heard a foreign language or a siren in years. We're surrounded by Springs including one a few hundred feet down the road that is certified drinkable. At one time, they were going to set it up for a bottled water operation. We're also surrounded by Churches.

Store what you eat and eat what you store. (rotate stock)

Every couple dozen years, we get ice storms here. We can easily be stuck here for 2-3 weeks due to 2-6 inches of ice coating everything, including the ground/roads. That's what I prep for as far as short term.

I also am prepping for when/if the dems take over again and implement climate change policy/socialism and basics become unaffordable.(or they simply collapse the USA - their real goal - so they can have their global socialist/communist utopia) Soros believes the Chinese model of communism would be best.

Planting fruit trees, gardening, got laying hens, getting a couple of Dexter cows and Kunekune pigs this coming year. My WWII era parents always had a garden. During WWII, most people had a garden called a Victory Garden.

Our laying hens are considered dual purpose breeds, eggs and meat but they're not a broody type of breed. I want to get some Buff Orpington which are also dual purpose and do tend to go broody.(desire to sit on eggs, hatch them and raise baby birds) I do have an incubator and it wouldn't take much power to run it in the summer.

Dexters are dual/triple purpose animals, meat, milk and for pulling, like little Oxen. They're 1/3 the size of the big commercial meat/dairy breeds.(we're surrounded by beef cattle farms)

Kunekune are a NZ breed of pigs that the Maori people kept as edible pets. They're the only true pasture pig that can live off of grass.

We live in a "tiny house"(cabin) right now but I'll be building a passive solar house in the next few years. Hard to cut firewood when gas is $100/gallon or becomes unobtainium.

I've got a spot picked out for a root cellar and will probably have it all dug by Spring. I'm also building a high tunnel to extend the growing season. The plastic covering is good for 4 years and I'll always keep a spare or two.

I'm also prepping for something else with all this. Retirement. I always worked for small companies that didn't have 401k and I didn't do anything independently towards retirement(dumass) so me and the wife will be living off of Social Security before too long. I'm in my mid 50s and she's mid 40s. My son's autistic to the point that he'll never be able to work a job so I'm trying to make things as self sustainable as possible here for us and eventually him when we're gone. The property is big enough to build another house for my daughter so I'm hoping she'll stick around and watch over him a bit but that will be her decision.

People out here are already pretty self reliant. Half of them built their own houses and most work on their own vehicles. More than half of the people in my five mile radius grow a garden every year. Several hundred cattle in the same area. Everyone hunts. We all know who the useless eaters are. We'll get by.

Cities and suburbs will be rape, pillage and plunder and lots of infectious disease.

A lot of economical hosting says in the fine print No Image Repositories. No File Hosting etc.

Meanwhile, there was a post here the other day telling everyone to use magaimg because it's the only one that will give an expandable preview.

Opps

Because you're in the PNW. Your connection goes through stephouse and then time warner. Stephouse owns the local infrastructure and has a deal with Time Warner who sells access.

Had to quit reading at the third paragraph when I saw this;

"a process that now includes a criminal probe being led by U.S. Attorney John Durham and investigative hearings by Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Lindsey Graham. "

fagboy Graham isn't doing shit except go on Hannity and talk the talk
