Here’s an excerpt:

What is Propane?

Propane is a gaseous byproduct in the refining of both oil and natural gas. It can be compressed into a liquid at relatively low pressures and will readily convert back into a burnable vapor under any conditions which humans can tolerate. First synthesized in 1910, it has been in commercial production since the 1920′s and the technology of using it at the consumer level is very well refined.

90% of all propane used in the US is from US sources, with 70% of the remaining amount coming from Canada. So, using propane fuel doesn’t fund jihad by our enemies and the money remains within the US economy, which are two of the reasons why I like it, beside the many practical prepping utilities.

Propane combustion is much cleaner than gasoline and other liquid hydrocarbons, though not quite as clean as natural gas combustion. Environmentally, it’s usually greener to cook with propane than with electricity. With a perfect burn, attainable only in theory, the only by-products are heat, carbon dioxide and water vapor. So, it can be used for indoor heating applications, but use a stove that provides a very high combustion efficiency and, especially, a low-oxygen sensor that will shut it down if the O2 gets low.

I’m convinced that time management skills are what separate the “successful” from the “unsuccessful”, especially when it comes to prepping. The recurring character-trait that I see with preparedness-conscious people is their willingness to get things done, even if it is only in small increments. Huge successes are usually the results of many, many small successes. The ability to stay on task, especially if there are several projects competing for your time, is what will help you to further your skills & become more prepared today, than you were yesterday. So, make the most of your time.
I’ve been able to observe a few people who say they are preparedness conscious, but they really are nothing more than collectors of supplies & tools. – Jeff “The Berkey Guy”, TPR, pg. 61

Now, I don’t care if you call yourself a “prepper” or not, everybody who believes in becoming as Self-Reliant as possible should learn & become proficient in the basic uses of rope. To put it simply, rope is a tool that becomes an extension of one’s arm (length) & a substitute for a person holding something in place, or moving something around (grip). Rope’s most basic uses are to:

• Pull something (hauling or moving)
• Hang Something (affix or suspend)
• Hold Something (secure or fasten)
