[quote:Anonymous Coward 27041005:MV8yMDM5MDczXzM0MjgwMDE4XzE0QjhFODA1] Gasoline is a blend of refined oils designed to break down in a short period of time. Therefore it is not suitable for longterm storage. If you have the resources, setting up a propane system is more practicable. Lacking that try to setup your survival using non powered technology like that used by your grandparents. Where you have access to cheap fuel like wood or coal, the steam engine is the best choice for heating and power. Learn to process your own food for storage, dehydrate, pressure canning, vacuum packing. If you can only afford one thing then dry pack corn for longterm storage. Learn how to cook and bake with it. Of course clean water is a given for surviving more than a few days. Plan on moving away from high risk areas. One of the things I have noticed with many of the Sandy survivors is that they are just sitting around waiting for someone else to put their lives back in order. A community that is self sufficient does not need the government. Good Luck [/quote]

In the great US of A, you get arrested for trying to help out your neighbors.
The state doesn't want you to think or act on your own, therefore you are arrested for circumventing the states "disaster" recovery aparatus.
Imagine what 5 gallons of gas would have done to help all those people surive a little longer.
