      2/ If I want to keep working on the farm over the summer, I'll need diesel and gasoline. Might buy a 250+ gallon tank and call for a delivery off dyed / "off road" diesel https://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200373290_200373290 …pic.twitter.com/wjKUnhD4cE

      If you do, consider: There isn't any reliable info on how long the virus survives on surfaces. The products you accept from UPS should be decontaminated prior to bringing it into your home.

      5/ meh I have investigated biodiesel extensively, and am not a fan. You propose that - in the SHTF pandemic scenario - I leave the farm to visit restaurants and load a tank with used fryer grease? Also, I live in a cold climate, and >>>https://twitter.com/Starbasessd/status/1229775917301583877 …

      Also consider: Convert from Diesel to All Fuel. BioDiesel, and kerosene are also viable alternatives, and Military Diesels can burn kerosene and JP fuels. My gennys are at least dual fuel (gas and propane) and I have a natural gas adapter.

      6/ I ALREADY have problems with conventional petrodiesel gelling on not-atypical ~ 0° F winter mornings, to the point where I have had to use a heat gun to melt frozen diesel out of the fuel filter to start the tractor. If SHTF so hard that diesel deliveries stop...

      There are other biodiesel crops, but I understand. Grow enough corn or other crops, go for ethanol fuel. Alaska users of diesel seem to survive (son did 2 years in Fairbanks). I just try to think outside the box. I only have 300w of Solar, but can survive a week after full charge

      8/ I'm sure that this is all very simple and easy to someone vicariously LARPing / remote fapping to the idea, but !@# IS HARD, yo. Logging enough firewood to keep the house heated is hard, and has a noticeable infrastructure pyramid. >>>

      12/ And when someone proposes jacking the whole pyramid up 20 feet and adding two new floors underneath, the surface area that the pyramid covers grows by 2x or 4x, and the annual labor by the same amount. "Grow your own biodiesel" is INSANELY hard.

          We moved to a specialized (Durkheim's 'organic' society) model for a reason. True self-sufficiency is INCREDIBLY hard. I appreciate your posts. Makes me think through my game plans.
