 6 Items Your Homestead Needs To Survive A Winter Blackouthttp://bit.ly/1ROziGS

Many people prepare for winter weather by putting together a winter survival kit in their car. But too few prepare an additional kit for their home, which can leave them unprepared when a winter ice or snowstorm hits and leaves them trapped there. Because preparing your house for a winter storm is a significantly larger and more complicated undertaking than doing the same for your car, here’s a few tips to help you out:

1. Alternative source of heat

A winter snowstorm that knocks the power out will leave you with a cold house unless you have a heat source that doesn’t require electricity. Don’t be surprised if the inside of your home quickly drops to 40 degrees Fahrenheit when the power goes out. In this case, having plenty of blankets and warm clothing is essential.

But you’ll also need an alternative source of heat – such as kerosene – to keep your house warm until the power returns. Always check up on your alternative heat source to make sure it is operational and clean.
