For the last few days I have done a bit of prepping. Last year we did not use our gas fireplace because every time we would turn it on, it would set off the smoke alarm. Well this weekend my husband and I took it apart and cleaned it and put it all back together. It is now working nicely. This fireplace works even if the electric goes off so I am happy to have it fixed. I have decided that this will be the year that I test all of my preps. I filled and tested an oil lamp yesterday. It gave off good light, but boy does it stink. The other item I did was to check my emergency box that I have in my vehicle, ( or apocalypse box as my husband calls it). I rotated the food and organized it a bit. I made it easier to grab things should I need to stuff them in a back pack and walk.
