One of the more common questions I get from people starting their preparedness journey is some variation of: “How long can I actually keep gasoline before it turns into varnish?” It’s a fair question because, let’s be honest, storing gas for “just in case” isn’t exactly cheap, and the last thing you want is to…
Is Attic Storage for Prepping Supplies Really That Bad?
It makes sense that when we start running out of room for our gear, we start looking outward and upward. I store stuff in my detached garage, for example. But most of us have an attic that is sitting there, mostly empty, while our spare bedrooms and closets are bursting at the seams with canned…
