Reader Feedback: Outstanding article! One of the BEST, I’ve ever read or seen on any preparedness website. Well Done! (and thank you!!) - TPS
Propane for Preppers is Book 7 of our Non-Electric Lighting Series. Much of the material in Book 7 came from a 5-part series of articles in the blog Backdoor Survival. Hence the reader’s above-quoted mention of article.

Lanterns that use mantles produce light on par with electric light bulbs. And PROPANE mantle lanterns have advantages over liquid-fueled lanterns.

For one thing, propane does not degrade in storage. You can store it for fifty years. It’s still the same stuff. Hook it up and it works. What other petroleum-based fuel can you say that about?

And propane is convenient compared to liquid fuels. No messy spills. No stinky rags. Certainly that’s worth something.

This book covers safety (from crystal meth to carbon monoxide); step-by-step refilling of one-pounders from 20-pound BBQ tanks (with the emphasis on SAFETY); long-term storage of one-pounders; and many real-life comments & words of advice from readers who saw the original article series.

Propane for Preppers contains 23,000 words, 45 B&W illustrations, and is 116 pages long. It’s available in Kindle eBook format as well as paper.
