Now is the time (if fire season precludes use of chainsaws) to <a href=\"http:\/\/readynutrition.com\/resources\/woodcutting-when-the-shtf-what-you-need-to-know-to-hastily-acquire-a-wood-supply_21102017\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cut your wood and to assure your wood supply<\/a> is ready and accessible. This is both for winter and as a prep: if everything goes down the tubes tomorrow, you will find that the nice fire becomes a necessary fire to heat the home and to cook food. Make sure you have a supply that you can put the majority of the wood, and an area that is readily accessible. Make certain your wood is off of the ground and that it is protected: either under a roof (as in a woodshed) or under a tarp. Cut it all now, and do a sound estimate on your rate of consumption under adverse conditions (loss of power, or SHTF scenario). Don\u2019t forget fire starting materials and a good supply of newspaper: since the latter contains no \u201cnews\u201d it\u2019s perfect for burning and can be stored in your woodshed. Ensure chainsaws, axes, splitters, and other tools are in good working order and ready to use.
