Lamehawk, now I'm up to a bi-pap. and yes it makes all the diiference in the world. impossible to snore while wearing it. I was a world class snorer and would lieraly rattle windows and vibrate pictures and hanging lights in adjoining rooms, get dirty lokks from people on planes. could never figure out why I was allways falling asleep in class, work, driving, could never read a whole page of a book or even warch a 1/2 hour tv show. also sleep apnea gives you long term oxygen depravation which leads to heart disease and brain damage. if you wake up gasping for air thats a pretty good sign you need some help. get a GOOD sleep study done ( hospitals are about the best I've found so far)

WE always loaded up with water, batteries and many flashlights the colemans were loaded and gallons of fuel was stored!

LOL yeah been there before with "you snore to loud" I was asked to leave a motel once! Without mine I am lost but I have not been using it because of some nose bleeds during the night but once they are gone I will be back on.I have been through 6 sleep studies in the past 3 years trying to find why it effects me so bad.So i know where you are at nacho for sure it plays hell with living!

I have a dual fuel Coleman lantern and camp stove. They can burn gasoline as well as other fuels. Invest in a good cooler. I also agree with getting a chainsaw.

I'd be leary of keepin gas in a drum not rated for it. W/o ventilation, the drum may split. Look what happens to small 5 gallon plastic cans of gas in the heat of the day, and they have somewhat of a vent. The reason rotate gas now is cus of the ethanol crap they put in it. It attracts moisture (even with the lids capped) faster than toilet paper in a porta crapper, and after about 15 days or so, the gas isn't too good, with or without stabil. The gas in the genset always gets stabil, but then again, the last tank is always premium. It lasts longer w/o breaking down to varnish, and seems to help the gen start up every other month for a 10 min test run. But I still run the carb dry after every test run.
