    Some Trump supporters I know might think so.

    How about an emergency stock of canned goods and no can opener.

    Oh, doncha know? You place the can against a concrete step, or a curb, or a rock. Rotate the can so the edge gets ground off. Lift off the lid. Nothing falls inside the can. (Any sort of bladed can opener drops shards of steel inside the can.)

    ETA: I checked youtube. Not one person there knows this!

  • That sounds about as useful as powdered water.

    You use a Diesel engine to start it.

    I see what you mean. Most generators produce electricity by the burning of natural gas or fossil fuel so how do you start with what you are trying to produce?

  • "You mean like battery powered?" Portable power has been the domain of gas generators for decades, but battery-powered generators are starting to pop up, offering a cleaner option for DIYers, campers, tailgaters, and around the home use.
