Heads Up on a Hell of a Deal on a Bad Ass Briggs & Stratton Inverter Generator

The Survival Podcast Posted on by

NOTE – This deal has expired.  If/when it returns I will let you know. If you asked me my biggest mistake when I got into prepping I would say it was that I did not instantly buy a large powerful generator.  I corrected that really fast and over the years I have to say the prep in my life that has paid off the most times has been my generators.  Storms happen, electric companies underestimating a cold snap happen, trucks and back hoes hit power poles and lines. Now this particular generator is not cheap and it is not something … Continue reading →
