Really hate power outages

Plus another one for the Buddy Heater -- love my Mr. Heater. On a full cylinder, I've found it will run for about 6 hrs on Low and it heats the studio/snake room (a small spare bedroom) to the upper 70s when it's cold out, low 80s when mild. Also, we have a woodstove against the adjoining wall, which helps tremendously. We avoided an outage last night, but lost power to the storm the day before . . . it's a relief to have a plan with everything ready to go. Especially after once losing power for 7 and a half days in the 2007 wind storm and relying entirely on the woodstove when the propane ran out. Not fun but very doable. Depending on where you are, a small generator set on the porch to run a couple heat lamps or an RPH can also work in a pinch. But, yeah. Buddy Heater.

I live in a very small mountain cabin. Never an issue. Never feel like not enough O2. Holding gtp can't type much.

Yeah the house here, everything is electric or natural gas. Electric stove, natural gas heating etc. I'll probably pick up one of those Mr Heaters. That seems about perfect for the rare occasions I do lose power and it sure will beat sitting in the car with my pets and the heat cranked. Felt like Noah in the ark :P And you really realize how uncomfortable a car is after sitting in one for 4 hours especially when its 3am and you really want sleep haha.

And i've used those hand/foot warmer packs and yes those things can get really hot. I don't know how they work for shipping reptiles without cooking them.

I've looked at generators also but for the cost, I'm not really sure its worth it as like I said, we really don't lose power often but a $100 Mr Heater and a refillable bottle of propane sounds pretty cheap for insurance.
