One of those times it's nice to be a prepper, even if only on a relatively small scale. I bought a couple of months' worth of gasoline last week.
Get some stabilizer too.
I always try to prepare in a way that does not require things like electricity and fuel considering that if you require either for long term survival you are putting yourself on a ticking clock. Things I have in a go bag are some basic tools, some basic supplies like food and water, and a local outdoor survival manual that I purchase when a new addition comes out.
My main reasoning behind having a buffer of gasoline stored (I rotate through it, no need for stabilizer) is so that if something absolutely catastrophic happens I can make it to a relative's farm without having to stop for gas along the way. It also happens to be handy for the less-catastrophic-but-still-annoying situation we might be facing now, of a sudden fuel price spike.
Smart move on the fuel stockpile. For longer emergencies, I've found portable power stations to be a game changer - no fumes, indoor safe, and they last for years. I compared a bunch on gearscouts.com and the LFP battery ones give you the best $/Wh value and way longer lifespan then the older lithium tech.
Why do you mention gearscouts so often?
