Be prepared for the worst

I know some of you guys live pretty remote, hopefully you're prepared with some of the extreme temperatures and snow, most of you have barns and secondary living areas.

This fella burned his house burned down, no way to communicate or travel, managed to make it 20 days until help arrived.

As long as we have cell service and my phone does not burn down I'll be ok. If the power goes off I'd have to work a little harder to get an engine started out in the -30s temps. Forget about the diesels, not a chance. Two gas trucks might be persuaded.
