Reply to comment by MrLonely_ in How prepared are you for these long power outages? by VegUltraGirl

We have a wood stove that’s our primary heat and we supplement with oil, but our mom’s in-law suite is electric heat, so we need to keep her house warm. The indoor safe heaters look like a good option and maybe a camping stove for her. I agree that this will be more common, it worries me a bit. At this point I feel like we need to be prepared to live off grid for at least 2 weeks!

Camping stoves absolutely need proper ventilation when being used inside - had a roommate once that didn’t know this

You can heat water with your propane grill, bring it in to provide heat. Burning anything indoors creates CO and is dangerous.

I would strongly recommend keeping non reformulated gas (No ethanol) for you chainsaw, and generator!
