About the only time preppers talk about their cars is in the context of using them for bug out vehicles. While that is important, our cars play a much more important role in our lives than that.

Most of us use them for everything; getting to work, taking our kids to school and activities, shopping and even going to different venues for entertainment. Chances are, when we are away from home, we have our car with us. Seeing it that way, our car should become...

Biomass is anything that is living, or was recently living, and biofuel is basically anything that qualifies as biomass and is actively creating energy. By that description not much has to change for something like wood to go from biomass to biofuel. Let’s saying you are holding a piece of wood, a piece oak to be specific.
