Power Outage Prep Tips

[Johnny Reb]

Laundry, make sure it's been done. There will possibly be photos taken.

Yes...Laundry done and get a good hair cut for the pictures

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


Milk crates for your propane tanks, keeps kids and dogs from tipping them over.

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.

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.

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

I would post up Tri County but I think we would have to pay Heath Hill $10 per click...

clean shaven, or beard?

[Highstrung]

Gillette sensor here, with shave butter.. But I also have this larger yellow electric contraption that has like an hour of run time when fully charged. You just never know.

[Glenn]

Always go beard

[Highstrung]

I don't care to willingly mask this face.

Tarps, **zip ties**, generator, batteries, LED lights, grease your guns... Plenty of gas. Rice, tortillas, cheese, butter, hot plate, fans, dehumidifier, Xanax, wine + beer...


Only run your generator to top off the fridge/freezer, it doesn't need to run the entire time. We went 7 days last year without power - it sucked.

Most important of all, cook chicken bog before you lose power. :P

Who needs power to cook perlo?

[JABIII]

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

Condoms! We don’t need a bunch of baby on the way threads in here next year.






Edit scratch that no condoms I will buy all your gear in the trading post once your wife’s make you sell it.

For those bound to lose power, you can at least catch your college football games here-

Games will be appear 1 hour before kickoff.

[Beauregard]

Put a thermometer in the fridge/freezer to help you know when to kick the generator on/off.
