Just saw a video about two men living in an abandoned village in Newfoundland.

And something occurred to me. How do they get fuel for their boats? No one lives there but them.

I imagine in a more populated fishing village they would have fuel delivered from some sort of fuel tanker once in a while. If so how do they store it?

Anyone here who lives/lived in a fishing cillage know about this?

1. Um, if they live there, it's not abandoned...

2. It was abandoned in the 60s when people from small villages

In NL Were relocated to more populated areas.

3. It's called planning...

when they visit the mainland, or the nearest port, they stock up on what they need until their next visit.

Planning, you should try it some time.

4. Link to the video?

I'd watch it.

As for fuel, perhaps their boats can go on the water to someplace that has fuel?

9. Thanks. I'm going to watch it. But, fwiw, they could live a

very simple life right here in rural Florida, and it'd be much warmer. Just take one of the sand tracks leading back into the forests and swamps to check it out. Maybe find a long-abandoned mobile home and move on to another if anyone ever notices.

5. Growing up on a farm with vehicles that aren't really suitable for road travel

We always had a fuel tank. They might have a similar arrrangment either filled by land or water delivery.

7. That's probably it. Nt
