The conversion cost's around a couple grand for the car, and you can make your own from used cooking oil.

I had a good food storage stockpile, but was forced to sell it during a move......I still keep gallons of water on hand though.......

Water is always at the top of my hording list. I got a real eye opener when I was in the Gulf War at how much water one single person goes through on any given day. And that was without the daily showers and washing of uniforms.

When I was moving out of the place I was in before my current place, something freakish happened. I was getting ready to load my truck up and I noticed some yahoo had thrown a cigerette off the balcony of the unit right NEXT to mine. The burning butt landed right in the nice new pine straw they had laid down under the bushes. Guess what happened? It went up in flames immediately. I didn't have my cell phone and no one was around - so I ran into my apt. and hauled out gallons of my water stash to throw on the flames. You wouldn't believe how much water I went through so quickly! You can NEVER have ENUFF water!!!

Something else that's good to stockpile is water purification tablets.

I have never tried the tablets.
I have a small purification unit that can turn tequilla into plain water.


Maybe getting some tabs as extra back up is a good idea I think....
