EMP? Financial collapse and no fuel? No problem with this baby!

Anybody ever use one of these?

Not that fancy, but yea ... They work when they work, and they really suck when they need sharpening, or you catch a big twig/rock.

If you've got a small yard, I'd get an electric, and if it's SHTF time, stop mowing the lawn

they work fine in a completely twig free lawn.
My first house had a pretty small lawn, so I decided to get Mom's old reel mower sharpened. I got stopped every 2' by the 4th time I quit. I eventually sold it for about what the resharpen cost.

I used to use a reel mower. Decided it was much easier to go rent a push mower on base for $4 than to hassle with the thing. Still have it somewhere.

Holy moly! $250 for that?!?!?

Man, when I was a young kid, most people had push mowers for their lawns, if they had anything. Like this one ...

I pushed one around our lawn until I was about ten years old when my Dad finally got a power mower. The key was to keep the blades real sharp, but twigs and rocks were killers ...

I've used my friend's, he purchased it from Home Depot. It cuts a very narrow path but is very easy to push and I was actually surprised at how much grass was cut in 15 min. Not very effective with long grass and not an effective mulcher either. Still, it has a place with small, flat lawns.

Very small, flat lawns.

For less than an acre, I'll never buy any other mower, ever again.
Plug it in and go, zero maintenance, and they are $150 and up, unless you catch a sale.

... stop mowing the lawn

Are you kidding me? I'm sure it would take more than the Apocalypse to get the HOA off your butt!

That's what I was thinking! Mail service will have been stopped for 3 months and you'll still get a nasty letter from them!

This one costs the same and you can eat it when the S smacks.

If you waste it by eating it right when you need it, what would be the point?

 

[john_bud]

Well, IF I get hungry I'd rather eat the goat than the push mower...

and if times are that hard, I won't really care about the lawn being tall!

I used on of them when I was a kid. The lawn will not get mowed. Who would worry bout the lawn during SHTF?
