Survivalist Tip: I mentioned in previous posts that you should get some hurricane lamps and learn how to build a fire from scratch, since the power in your home most likely will go out when the apocalypse hits. Remember, you can’t trust the utility companies anymore than you can trust the federal government. And, since those two evil entities are conjoined, you’ll pretty much be on your own in the ‘New Universe.’ Another thing you might consider purchasing is a battery-operated generator. Notice I emphasize battery-operated. A generator will keep some necessary appliances functioning smoothly, such as water purification units, floor fans, heaters and coffee machines. Even a modest generator will set you back some $300. But, obviously it’s another worthwhile investment to help you survive inside your home, as chaos surrounds you. Besides, the low-frequency humming sound a generator creates will keep away undesirable creatures, like insects, rats and any fool from the power company who survives the upheaval and hopes to collect on your electricity bill.
