The revelation to store food may be as essential to our temporal salvation today as boarding the ark was to the people in the days of Noah.~~ President Ezra Taft Benson

Building your Ark * Lesson 11:He had Light and……Power (fuel)

Lesson 11:He had Light and…
Presented by Debbie Kent
Wood, coal, gas, oil, kerosene, and even candles are among those items which could be reserved as fuel for warmth, cooking, and light or power. Some may be used for all of these purposes and certain ones would have to be stored and handled cautiously.
(Prepare Ye by Ezra Taft Benson)


Noah was commanded to build a window for light. We now have many different ways you can provide light for your family in an emergency. Having a variety of ways to light is even better. Here are some ideas to get you started. More information will be found in the Power Up class later this year.


Level One: 3 Lightsticks (12 hour); flashlight/batteries; tea candles (100); matches for 90 days


Level Two: Extra batteries; lantern or oil lamp and fuel; matches for 90 day; candles/holders


Level Three: 20-100 Hour Candles; extra lantern parts and fuel for 1 year; solar charge battery


Level Four: Garden Solar lights; led light strings for solar lighting; kerosene lantern & parts



…Power (fuel)

It is a cold winter day. A winter storm has knocked out the power and officials say it may be days or weeks before it is restored. You are prepared: you have flashlights, lanterns, stoves and even a heater, but alas you have no power sources to fire them up! Kind of like being up a creek without a paddle isn’t it? The recommendation: a one year supply of fuel.

Level One: Batteries; firewood; newspapers; matches (box 250)


Level Two: Stove fuel-3 mo; Lamp fuel- 3 mo.; matches (5 boxes); fire starter


Level Three: Charcoal (22 bags); heater; lantern/heater fuel- 9 more months


Level Four: Gasoline w/ additive (Sta-bil); fuel pump; matchless  

lighter; generator/fuel; solar panel/battery/inverter; metal bucket (burning ashes);
