OK, folks, we’ve seen this before. Remember Katrina? Fuel disruptions to a specific area of the country? Gas prices surge upwards and supply runs low? Demand skyrockets due to the mainstream media telling everyone there will be gas shortages? Yes. The news has to sell their stories to gain viewership and in turn, people freak out and go out and overbuy fuel causing a shortage.
Yes – I’m included.
Knowing that people will create a shortage out of fear I went out and topped off the gas tanks.
This is temporary. They will get everything back online and supply will flow as it did before. Colonial is estimating fuel will begin flowing at the end of the week. As preppers, we should be prepared for these types of events so when they occur we make adjustments and keep going. No big deal, right?
If you don’t have a few gas cans set back go ahead and handle it now. Yeah – a couple of weeks ago might have been better but do it now. Gas cans are still available if you look. Other containers will work as well even though they may not be “red.” Even if it is mid-next week this is not the apocalypse we all have been prepping for.
Logical and commonsense preparing. It’s what we do. If the zombies start moving through the streets searching for brains to eat – well, we will be better off than most everyone else.

Bushcraft Match and Fire Starter
American Made and Ready for Adventure

These Bushcraft Matches are great for starting fires. The wax-infused jute cordage will easily ignite using a ferrocerium rod. Once lit, the jute rope can burn for up to an hour providing ample opportunity to get a fire going. Once you're done, push the aluminum sleeve over the ignited end of the rope to snuff out the flake.
Simple!
Ways to use:
1. Fray the ends of the jute cord every time before lighting it. Twist and separate all the fibers to make the end fluffy, which is easier to ignite.
2. Aim the spark to the end of the tinder tube.
3. Once lit, use it like a match to start your campfire, grill, camping stove and so on.
4. Control the burning speed or extinguish the flame by pulling the rope into the tube.
A valuable part of any survival kit!

Found out our worthless governor “Do As I Say Not As I Do” Cooper signed an emergency order on the fuel shortage, not sure what it will affect.
Went and got 15 gallons to put back in storage, my area still looks ok, the gas station wasn’t over crowded, going to buy more fuel cans if I can find them and top them off.
My adult daughter said I would not be surprised if our gov. did this to make people
become less dependent on fossil fuels but even electric cars need energy. Friends in NJ have already said gas stations are empty now, — and of course prices are soaring even before there is a real shortage.
Time to go back to horse and buggy and small town living again.
Our son works at a college RPI that is known for scientific and tech wizards and he was told to go home today as they had a cyber hit .No finals were given today- sounds like an inside student job to me-grin !! Arlene
Well, Let’s all go buy a $60K Tesla and everything will be alright….
It’s one of the reasons we when from 1/2 tank fill ups to 3/4 tank fill ups. It’s also time to rotate the gas cans for the ATV we use in the summer.
Already have stations running dry out here.
I was out and about early afternoon, all was good. By this evening, prices had jumped 20 cents a gallon, and stations were empty.
About 6 hours had passed.
I wonder if ‘the man’ did it, as covid is starting to run out of steam, and they are going to need a new way to keep us penned up at home. Take away the guzzoline, and nobody is going anywhere.
Our enemies have whole armies of hackers working day and night to hurt America in
any way possible.
It is probably wishful thinking but if we and our allies used available technology to
identify,locate and kill the hackers it would at least send a lethal message.
Get Israeli Intelligence to help.They are very good at what they do and don’t balk when it comes to remove bad actors from the show.They never quit.
John and Normal, I have to agree with both of you. My way of thinking is backing out systems in this country is an act of war and needs to be treated as such.
I agree John P Off to go get some extra gas now if its available. Arlene
Derrrrrrrrr,Mossad are bad actors.They edit wikipedia daily to ensure a pro-israel tone.The Israeli military intentionally Attacked The USS Liberty.Research this!!They were key to the 9/11 attacks.They have stolen land in m.east and not satisfied with this,have been brutalizing,starving,bombing,raping,murdering True Semites-the Palestinians.Most of israel is filled with Kazharians,Not True,Semitic,Torah following Jews who were lead by Moses.There are Many genetic studies which prove this truth.Mossad has been training u.s.police in brutality tactics which have been used on us,the citizens.Israel is now stirring up trouble with palestine and Iran in hopes of pulling the Goys from Anerica into a brutal war,thus killing more nonjews.
Bb….while I promote the freedom of speech I will use mine to tell you to go SUCK IT!!!!
JR:
Don’t feed the trolls!
bb,
Good point.
I wonder how long the squatters in Palestine would last if Americans terminated our welfare to them.
I know I could use the free no-strings-attached us$278,000 per person annual foreign-aid we hand-out to them to keep their ‘country’ from collapsing!
How about you?
Since 1948, at least two trillion American dollars in free hand-outs to a bunch of strangers?
Keeping that amount of money at home could do a lot for our crumbling infrastructure…
They have zero-zero-zero friends, they create new enemies hourly.
Any ill wishes against them is a direct result of their xenophobia.
Their alleged history is filled with wars against everybody not them, battles against everybody not them, invasions against everybody not them, enslaving everybody not them.
Ask any counselor:
* If the same results keep happening, what is the common denominator?
* Who is at the center of the string of dramas?
