11 Items That Vanish From Tractor Supply In The First 12 Hours Of A Winter Blackout

My books are on sale now 📖 Ready for Anything, and the set of three. Grab them here: https://hankdockery.com Last January, stores in Tennessee and South Carolina ran out of generators, propane heaters and propane refills before the winter storm even arrived. When the watch goes out, the whole county drives to the same farm store the same afternoon, and then the power, the well and the gas pumps in town all stop together. In January 2009, 100,000 customers in Arkansas were still in the dark a week after the ice. Hank buys these in September, while he can take them home and try them. Subscribe to the channel: @hankdockery In this video, we talk about the 11 farm store items that go first when a winter blackout is coming, including propane filled at $4.29 a gallon instead of swapped, the generator you don't buy the night of the watch, a 50 ft 12 gauge outdoor cord and why backfeeding is never allowed, 5 gallon gas cans and stabilizer before the pumps go dark, premixed chainsaw fuel where the dear one wins, a $14.99 bow saw for the limbs, fatwood at 2 dollars a pound, a 32 gallon can of flush water for a house on a well, the cooler you already own and ice made outside, slip-on ice cleats, and two cheap pairs of insulated gloves. 🔔 Subscribe so the next list reaches you before the ice does. 💬 Comment where you're watching from and how much of your generator's tank one hour under load really used. 📢 Send this to somebody on a well road, on Facebook, Reddit or the family group chat.
