O.T. Mundane Chore, T2K Relevant??

I was cutting my grass today, and as I trudged through my weeds, I had a thought. (Yeah, scarry )

What if I found myself in a nuclear T2K scenario. One with a little bit of warning.

The EMP has fried the cars...

But what about the lawn mower? A 5 HP Briggs and Stratton pull start, 4 stroke, one cylander gas user?

Would it still start? IMHO, yes. Interested to hear other opinions.

What can I use it for? This is where my thinking broke down. I would like to hear from you all. What devious, life saving, or other wise usefull tasks would a lawn mower have?

Why did I say warning? IF I had some warning, I would top off both cars and my reserve gas cans. That would give me over fourty gallons of gas to use in said lawn mower.

My $0.02
