treated lumber is about the worst thing a person could burn.I don't have a lot of sympathy.Everyone everywhere has the capability of prepping for shortages, unless they are refugees on the move. Living oblivious to the fact that dependence on systems that you have no control over is like la la land. It doesn't take much to save for system break down. Just like the reliance on the internet, for finance, transactions, train schedules, air traffic control, etc. That is where the danger is, relying on all of these things that could end in a second. The meek shall inherit the earth, but they best have back up plans and supplies. If people are burning wood to keep warm, as I have for a very long time, you don't wait till October to get that wood. Yeah, I had to pay 275 a cord, when I used to pay 200 a couple of years ago, but I was prepared to. I just don't have a lot of compassion for people who think nothing will change and what they rely on will always be there. Rely on nothing except yourself and God, who will help you have the sight and fortitude to stay alive and well.
