Operation Mountain Relief - Mayday for Heaters!
"THERE IS NO WAY I CAN CONVEY…THE LEVEL OF SUFFERING AND DESTRUCTION FAMILIES IN WNC ARE ENDURING"
I received this urgent notice from my friends, Krys and Steve Crimi, of Logosophia Books who also live in Asheville:
Our friend Marnie sent us this plea today. If you don’t live in this area there is no way I can convey in an email the level of suffering and destruction families in WNC are enduring. It is frigid tonight with high winds and families with small children are still using tents for shelter. Unthinkable.
Please watch the short video and see if there is any way you can contribute to ease their suffering. Watching this ripped us up. There are choices for contacts in the thread below.
Please watch the video. Sharing it would also be appreciated.
Krys and Steve
Marnie: Folks around the country STILL do not know how DIRE this ongoing catastrophe is. Please send this video far and wide so the citizenry of this whole country is aware and actively asking, "What is Going On?" Thanks
HERE'S WHAT FOLKS ARE GOING THROUGH RIGHT NOW!
Wayne Allred, Deep River Farm: It's cold and snowing tonight in the mountains of Western NC. Winds could reach 60 mph. Heaters are all gone from Bethel Wesleyan in Flat Rock.
110 have been delivered and taken to the satellite distribution sites in Burnsville, Bakersville and Red Hill since November 2nd. Mayday for heaters!
Recall, that the Congressional Oversight Committee revealed FEMA is giving illegal migrants over $10,000 dollars while offering Hurricane Helene Victims $750 and that a FEMA whistleblower has come forward to confess that institutionally, the leadership of FEMA is actively malicious towards American Citizens who support the Presidency of Donald Trump.

People are asking what kind of heaters to send. Here is a selection of propane heaters from Amazon, which may be the best immediate solution for these people stranded on the mountainside. Here’s a selection from Home Depot, which one commenter said, they will charitably ship free, so you might have to deal with Home Depot customer service to do that.
The above heaters require propane fuel, as well.
Longer term, if these people are committed to staying on their properties and if they will not check into any government- or international NGO-run facility, especially because it has now been confirmed that these government workers are demonstrably hostile to American Citizens, this wood-burning stove may be a better solution. There’s a lot of brush and a lot of wood in this part of the world, so this could really be a good longer-term heating method than dealing with cans of propane.
This stove is meant for use in tents. It needs to be cured by burning outdoors first, before bringing indoors or inside a tent, in order to burn-off the residue on the surface of the metal.
I actually bought the stove above, myself for only $82 and I’m currently curing it on my little deck with easy-light briquettes (I’m using the cheaper, local grocery store brand) and my whole apartment was smelling like butane from the briquettes, until I added all the chimney pieces, so that the smoke blows above the sliding door from my living room to my deck.
A bonus with this little wood-burning stove is that you could definitely fry and egg and heat up some coffee or canned/frozen food on the flat top.
The reason I bought this was with the hope that, should we have another outage and emergency, I’ll be able to stick this stove halfway into my fireplace, with the stove pipe going up the fireplace chimney, so we can heat the apartment with (non-butane-infused) briquettes and/or wood, if need be – and even heat up some food, as well.
We’ll also have the propane cooktop and the power bank and the gas-fueled electric generator. Fuel conservation and diversification are key in these situations.
I’ve now lived through so many of these events, now that I’ve gone semi-pro!
Fool me once. We Won’t Get Fooled Again!
