@buckhorncliffs: A trip to Tractor Supply with preparedness in mind. Here's what's worth grabbing, in no particular order. Fuel and engine care: Ethanol Shield Fuel Stabilizer. Stock it for stored gas in ethanol blend areas. Treated fuel lasts about 2 years. STA-BIL Storage Fuel Stabilizer. Same general purpose, prevents varnish and gum deposits in stored gas. About 2 years on treated fuel. Sea Foam. Revives marginally degraded fuel and cleans carburetors. Great for waking up equipment that's been sitting. Stores 10+ years on the shelf. Multi-purpose chemicals and tools: 30% vinegar. Strong weed killer, surface disinfectant, food preservation, natural cleaner. Indefinite shelf life. WD-40. Lubricant and moisture displacer. Protects metal, frees seized bolts, maintains firearms. Indefinite. Kerosene. Dual use for heaters and oil lamps. Stable for years when sealed. Mineral oil (food safe). Conditions cutting boards, seasons cast iron, protects metal from rust, and works as a laxative in a medical pinch. Indefinite. Food grade diatomaceous earth. Shreds insect exoskeletons without chemicals. Can be mixed into rice, wheat, and legumes to prevent weevils and beetles in storage. Indefinite. Catch and release animal trap. Small game like squirrels and rabbits, or relocating animals harassing your livestock. Quick mentions worth grabbing: DMSO, Ivermectin, MSM, Betadine solution, ball jars, 5 gallon buckets, tarps, 5 gallon fuel and water jugs. A few things worth knowing: DE has to be food grade if you're adding it to grains. Pool grade DE is calcined and not safe to consume. Fuel stabilizer only works on fresh gas. It prevents degradation, it doesn't reverse it. Add it when you fill the can, not after the gas has been sitting. WD-40 isn't a long term lubricant. It's a moisture displacer. For long term lubrication, use a proper grease or oil after WD-40 has done its job.
