Hurricane Irma

[kross8]

One of the simplest things to use, matter of fact pretty safe also. There is also a Coleman single burner stove normally used in camping that runs off of one of the small propane tanks. Besides the Coleman propane tank cooking wheel. Anyway when I get back to a computer I will post links for all of this. i have them and have been using the Sterno stove, which is available at Publix - specifically here at my friend's place.

Agree,,we primitive camped for years..bought the single burner unit last year and really like it. Ours takes a tiny bottle,(or any huge bottle) &&&&& a can like hair spray size....our camp gear is also our bug out gear ..its all in 1 big plastic bin.

A+, Other than a few sleepless nights, we are just picking a few tree limbs and sweeping the driveway at all 3 places.

You mean this? We have used this thing so many times over the years at camping and power outages. It's a very useful thing to have.

I cooked on one of those for about 2 weeks while we were demoing the kitchen in my first house (this was utterly necessary, we gutted it to the support beams) and while I had a couple of them, it still wasn't the easiest thing in the world.... Though we tried to approach it as a long camping experience, what with washing dishes in the bathtub, etc., they are handy things to have, though.

Hope all of you without power get it restored very soon!

YEP - However that is only one of the items. Matter fact, I actually bought a Coleman cooler before Wilma visited that had a number of other Coleman items already packed inside- including a 5 gallon water balloon, Lantern, etc. I will try to take a picture of it all and Post-it when I get a chance.

Updating for kross8:

current update (just moving the list forward) Updated status,, but they may have spotty electric/cell/isp service so dont worry if communications is difficult for them.

Below is our Irma impacted list. If you would like to have your status updated that would be great for others looking out for you. Lets treat it like a report card,,,

A= good shape just a little clean up
B=minor damage/repairs needed
C=more than minor repairs
D= major repairs need
F= total loss, may need help
OK= ok, and you want to leave it at that

Of course you dont have to rate yourself until later.

Its quite possible you wont find your damage/needs until later. I dont want to assign a status to anyone,,so I leave that to you.

If someone needs help they can email of course to see what can be done to assist you. I know that I have some vape related items I can send you if need be.

God forbid anyone ever *need* to have to resort to this, but this is one of the more useful ideas I've seen in awhile....

...course, I kind of live under a rock, if y'all have seen this before, just disregard.

LOL! Truckers best friend! I'd strongly suggest an old Wal-Mart grocery bag for a liner tho.

Had one for Y2K. Gave it to my eldest daughter several years ago. Yepper in use as I type. The grandkids were intrigued.

Still no power at Casa Iffy... BUT we did get a window shaker in our MBrm when one our daughters got their power back on.

Later...
