When I was a kid we did the tire thing and it worked really well. We ended up with 4 tires stacked up by the end of the season. The next year we did the same with the exception that the first tire was dirt and each tire after that was straw with about 2" of dirt on top and we ended up with 5...
Funny I was just going to post that my mom used an apron. You might just add apron strings to appeal to a broader market. Also bright and wild colors sell. Even if people do not need an item; if it is bright wild and makes them feel happy they will buy it to have it.

Here about 2 years ago my wife bought me a motor for my bicycle. These are production motor kits designed to put right no a bicycle and are 50cc two strokes.Kit includes everything you need including the chain sprockets and gas tank. There are several sites that sell them and most are well...
I use my frost free refrigerator to dry my jerky. After I have brined it, I lay it on a cooling rock on a cookie sheet and put it in the refrigerator. The refrigerator draws the moisture out of the meat. Works with anything you want to dehydrate. It is already on to cool your food so you are not...
I am on a different page then where this conversation has turned. I am an engineer by nature and am talking more about the physical applications than the cost of installing a pre-existing solution.

How many are prepared...

poor taste, great business. There is no such thing as bad advertisement. Advertisement is to get you to pay attention and reach as many people as possible. If it accomplished that purpose then it did what it was designed to do. Very poor taste though.
Foreclosures up 12% in January, Yep no crisis for those folks or the millions before them. U6 numbers show 26% unemployment- Yep no crisis for them either. More banks are in financial stress then at any other time in US history, Yep no crisis there. Commodities up 22% in the last year world...
WOW. This is great. I did not get any responses for the first little bit and was afraid that I wasn't going to get much feed back.
All this information is great. Please keep it coming.
Some of the things that we are looking at and may or may not be included and at some point down the line...
NEWS FLASH
Libya has just canceled ALL contracts. 1.6 million barrels of oil per day will no longer ship. Oil has risen just under $8 per barrel today.
YES you have to add stabilizer. If you do not have a larger storage tank for bulk storage then I would only keep an emergency store of no more than 20 gallons. It costs a lot for gas cans and may or may not be cost effective. Keeping ALL your vehicles topped off is the best idea and if they do...
