Off-Grid emergency heating for bug in.

[Great-Kazoo]

have a big buddy with several spare 20lb propane tanks, but that won't last forever and those aren't safe to use in a confined space. We could run a couple of 1500W electric heaters from our generator, but that also wouldn't last forever.

Assuming this is not a permanent condition, draining water pipes would be a wise decision to avoid freezing pipes and water damage. If we lost gas and electric at our house, without an expected return time and the long term forecast was significantly below freezing, we'd probably bug out.

I highly recommend a carbon monoxide detector nearby, which is what I did.

The Big Buddy has an O2 sensor / shut off. Unless you really are sealed off w/out ANY outside airflow from other rooms, the O2 issue is ALMOST non-existent .
Back east we had such a draft no matter what we did, short of redoing the wall and roof , there was always air movement within the house. Back then we used a large passive kerosun heater during winter months. Having a guy with access to kero our cost was minimal during colder months.

Everyone should have the detectors already in place.
