I love kerosene…safe to handle, safe to store, shelflife that beats the crap out of gasoline, burns hot and is fairly easy to find.

And then, like a sign from the Preparedness Gods, a boon was given unto Zero.

Yea. Verily.

While walking into Home Depot I saw a pyramid made of black 5-gallon drums of kerosene. The sign said : Regular $18.99, Sale $5.00

Thats right kids, a buck a gallon for kerosene. Cheaper than gas, cheaper than milk, and darn near as cheap as bottled water.

I have kerosene lamps, kerosene heater, and my multi-fuel stove can burn kerosene. Needless to say, that pyramid is a bit smaller now, and I of course alerted the other LMI’s so they could get in on the deal.

A. Dollar. A. Gallon.
