dunc 5 Member Since: 7/25/02 Posts: 5184	kvr28 - np, I'm thinking about just eating out of the bucket for a month and nothing else, kind of like a test run If you don't want to do that, I will. You have ignored this user.

StephenL 1 Member Since: 4/1/02 Posts: 20760	you also ate this from the confines of your comfy home. in an 'off the grid' scenario, you're going to be using a hell of a lot more energy to maintain your life. gathering food, chopping up fuel, guarding the house, and killin those that get too close to your bucket. consider bottling your soy gas to use for fuel. stephen You have ignored this user.

kanotoa 30 Member Since: 1/1/01 Posts: 27368	I bought several of them. I wish I had bought more. They had reduced the price to $75. When I bought 5 or 6 the cashier looked at me like I was crazy. 25 year shelf life! You have ignored this user.

kanotoa 30 Member Since: 1/1/01 Posts: 27484	Rodd - 25 years! Dam, I'll be way old by then LOL, I'll have to check the bucket and see what it says. If you pack 5 gallong buckets with mylar bags and O2 absorbers, stuff can last 10 years. You seem like a very resourceful man, I hope to be at your level someday. You have ignored this user.
