My neighbors cut their fallen limbs into 12-18 in lengths and stack them beside the road. I pick those bundles up and add them to my wood collection along the back fence. I'm slowly building up a supply of firewood in case I lose power.

I won't be expending gasoline then because of the work I'm doing now.

It's come to my attention, yesterday, that I'm not the only one in the neighborhood that is prepping in this regard.
