    Put a chain saw where you can get to it. Doesn't do a bit of good in the shed if there is a tree on top of the shed. Move your vehicles away from big trees.

    Don’t back feed your house with a generator unless you disconnect your house from grid


    If a man is alone in the woods, says something, and a woman does not hear, is he still wrong?

    Anyone that's been through long power outage have a run time on fridge/ freezer to keep them going? I don't plan on running the Genny 24/7, just long enough to keep the freezer frozen.

    The more you open them, the more you need to keep them plugged in. If you can avoid opening them, a chest freezer will stay frozen a couple days. But I would plug it in for a couple hours each day. You will need to run the fridge and bit more. Wives and kids have a hard time grasping the concept of leaving the door closed.

    Small window unit, that'll run off of the generator. That way you have a decompression room for the wife.

    I mean if you're going to have your face on a historical record like a bi-weekly paper, you don't want to look back and think " that big johnson t-shirt really was never cool".. Because it wasn't and I've never owned one, but you get my drift.

    So my 30 something year old t-shirts I got from Myrtle Beach wouldn't be appropriate attire for the photo ops during and after the storm?

    small bills too.

    rolling with a stack of $100's is useless.

    no bills larger than $20. But have lots of $5's

    Exactly. Cooking a bog out of the freezers of dipshit neighbors who didn't procure generators is one of life's simple pleasures.
