I better shut up, people don't want to hear what I got to say.

I am writing to try to prevent excess fantasies of escape into the forests by SHTF refugees...
having bug out plans and pre placed caches is important. Knowing your area and who might be in in it is even more important. Fact is most people thinking there gonna run out and camp in the woods, are in for a rude surprise. As far as raiders and people coming after me, I hope they have lots of good stuff for me to liberate.
As I said, just beware of having unfounded fantasies of survival. What will you do if you are in the center of the field of fire from three hidden snipers? Even your personal dog pack (IF you could feed them) could only wake you up, but not save you. Your dogs, vehicle or house could happily be riddled with bullets by predatory humans so they can liberate YOUR good stuff.
Speaking of rude surprises, most loggers and farmers are also experienced road-builders and have LOTS of dynamite legally stored. These are not stupid people, and the outlaws amongst them are not stupid either......................elsullo
100 gallons of fuel is kept in reserve and rotated on a regular basis.
What do you store your fuel in and how to you refill? I'm using 5-gallon metal jerry cans - (somewhat) easy to take to the gas station and refill when rotating. I've had problems with the plastic cans leaking over time.
I used to use Rubbermaid plastic gas jugs. Squat, narrower at the top, I ran around the woods with a couple full ones in the bed of my pickup and never had one turn over or leak. Only bad part was the gas made the plastic used for the spout brittle, and the Fred Meyer store quit carrying the brand.
I've never had good luck with Blitz stuff (rough openings wouldn't seal), but the ones recently look better. I suspect they'd tip over easier than the Rubbermaids however.
