Heat in fridgid weather is no problem, all one needs is a very
inexpensive vent free heater, needs no electric and no chimney, just
needs natural gas or propane... will run for 2-3 days on a BBQ gas
tank, or have your local propane dealer set you up with the heater and
a 60 gallon propane tank, you'll have heat for a month and can cook as
well. Lighting is no problem with LED lanterns and a case of AA
cells. WTF are people so helpless that they are freezing to death...
oh, Texass.
