How many years worth of fuel do you have for that chain saw in a post emp world?

[engineer775]

@GoatHollow I have stored a few cases of oil and AVgas 100 should last for 6-8 yrs so I hope to have a running saw for 6 yrs post emp. Crazy? 1 gal gas is equal to approximately 300 man hours of labor so 200 gallons of avgas and oil to match would allow me to cut lots of wood. I know- the noise, the noise! But it can be done!

Sir, you are much more knowledgeable than i am on most subjects, but i have seen many negative reviews of those "faraday bags" on YouTube where they fail simple tests. I've used other people's ideas of wrapping my electronics in layers of plastic and aluminum foil. Are you taking further steps to protect your electronics such as placing your bags into true grounded faraday cages? Thanks for spreading you expertise on your videos. Don

What did you learn from the EMP speaker at the conference? I wouldn't try storing gasoline for that amount of time, it oxidizes and polymerizes over quickly. making and storing Ethanol fuel would probably be the best bet...

and just a thought, but couldn't you use wood gas to run a chainsaw? sure you might be tethered to the gasifier somewhat but it's better than nothing? And what about a heavy duty 7 Horsepower electric chainsaw? just brainstorming here.

Elijah is absolutely adorable!!! :-)

clean any plastic coating around the rim of a paint can from the paint department in your favorite hardware store. the lid would make a very good electrical connection to the body of its a bare surface (no coatings). this would make a great tough openable and re-usable container.

thanx for the idea :) a suggestion: ask the good folks at the lds cannery if they would let you put parts in a number 10 can and seal it up with a decicant. fantastic faraday cage as well as a very robust container that will protect from humidity, water and dirt as well. great idea for radios, controls for pumps, generators, welders or any other device that requires electronics to run. get a couple of spares and seal them up

Bud, how can I EMP proof my Chain Saw and Yamaha EU2000is Generator?

[fastacker2]

Why not just get a large box (cardboard or plywood) and wrap it with aluminum foil all the way around. Then just stash your stuff in there (chainsaw, generator, radios, etc.) You could make a door on the side, roll the stuff in, then close the flap and tape it shut including the tin foil.

That's one great kid you have there.

Hey Brother, you need to let Elijah show off his gun collection! Lol! I know I enjoyed it.

Hope to see you Saturday at the Conference. Thanks~

@engineer775 What are you stabilizing the fuel with? Thanks for your videos!
