    Thought of something else to keep a spare of: wheels

    some people think of the word spare and associate it to a tire, well today I was out with the power washer and one of the 10 inch pneumatic tires that has a tube in it went flat, I had a small air compressor in my truck but no spare tire or tube and it was hell and a half to move that thing around, so I got to thinking.....I probably will not be pressure washing if SHTF, but my generator also has those tires, so does my hand truck and garden cart ????

    this week I plan to stop at Northern Tool and pick up at lease 1 spare in each of my tire sizes, and an extra one for the tire thats flat now

    actually Harbor Freight has them on sale for $ 6 for the complete tire and rim assembly

    Those HF tires are great! We bought 6 or so. We recently put them on a rifle barricade that weighs around 70 lbs. No problems yet.

    Good idea. I should check what my generator has. I'm not sure if it is just hard rubber or tubes.

    also keep an eye out for tire tube patch kits

    And bottles of "slime". That stuff actually works pretty good in mower, wheel barrows and such.

    It's amazing how many items have tires/wheels to help them move. Excellent point.

    I have switched all mine over to no flat tires, they are a soft solid tire that works like an air filled tire. Real hard to push a wheelbarrow when the tires are low. They work great and I highly recommend them.

    I put those on my generator, it always had a flat. Those tires do work great, but they are not cheap.

    You are right they are expensive however I feel that misery should be optional.
