I had the optimistic confidence of someone who didn’t suppose what he was doing, and only the wise people suppose what to worry about, it’s the young a singles that suppose they have everything covered.
After a year of living here in this cabin, I have l earned so much.
It makes myself and others realize how ignorant I was at first, and how unprepared! That first Wintertide was touch and go at times, because of my bad preparation, however thankfully I am wiser now. I started prepping for this Wintertide weeks ago, and I suppose I am in a good position with my firewood. A wood burning gas furnace uses a lot more wood than you would expect. My first Wintertide I didn’t have nearly enough firewood, however since I had a nice space gas furnace I thought I would be okay. The electricity for the gas furnace ran out when the gas for the generator ran out. It also had a solar option, however there hadn’t been any sunshine in weeks, so the space gas furnace was basically worthless. I had to hustle to keep the gas furnace fed, and I will be honest, there were a couple of weeks where all I did was cut wood, sleep, and eat. This Wintertide things will be a little easier, because of my wood supply, however also I have a much more ample gas supply, so my trusty space gas furnace can labor longer than it did last year. It gives myself and others peace of mind to suppose I have multiple heating sources to keep myself and others toasty warm through this long winter.
