I've always had a side that leaned toward procrastination, but never to the point that I seem physically, mentally unable to take care of business.
For example, I still have a number of task not started, or unfinished that I need to complete to protect my property, family wellbeing, in the event of civil unrest.
I have done somethings, but I am very frustrated that I am having such difficulty getting key important task completed. "You fucking had the chance and failed them", is how I will feel if I don't complete these things.
I am hesitant to blame what might be pure sorry ass laziness on some outside force, but damn it man, I swear I seem to be under the influence of some bad mojo, and was just wondering if I was alone in this.
Yes. You can charge it with the solar panel outside and then bring it inside and hook up what you want to it. No worries about carbon monoxide as it doesn't emit anything. It's just like a giant battery. Good luck. The Side Kick (small one) cost my husband $500 plus tax with free solar panel. The big one at MyPatriot.com is a 2200x or something like that for about $2000 plus tax and free solar panel. While 4Patriots.com has a big one that is only a 2000x (don't know if that stands for wattage or what as I'm not electrical) but it sells for the same amount of $2000 plus tax. So you get more power for the same price through MyPatriots. You can also get a credit/payment plan for anything you may need at this time and they will set it up for you as they know people are hurting from inflation. That's with MyPatriots.com. They also have solar ovens, heater/stove combo's (bought one) water filtration systems and of course food that lasts 25 years. Good luck my friend.
I always pay cash for everything I buy, or I don't buy it.
I'll look into it, and let you know if I buy. The only thing that would keep me from buying is if I found out they were not very durable i.e. lasted only a short number of hours before having to be replaced.
It would be good to have a battery unit that could be brought inside during night hours. Important to keep low profile at all times. Do not advertise you have any electricity, lights, refrigeration especially at night. Hard to do with generator running. Even if you have generator chained down, you don't want bad people swimming by to investigate.
Also my friend, there is a Cool Spring on the mans property where we can dig a hole and place a large cooler for our food (IF) by chance we have no refrigerator. But my husband plans on bringing a gas generator for use in the daytime since we will all be together with other people, and use the solar generator at night for our refrigerator. We're trying to cover all angles.
Cool, on my north Florida property that I still own, where I lived before my spousal unit had us move to gold coast area, I had a big artesian well that had 15-20 lbs of pressure out of the ground with no pump. If electricity went out, and my house well quit working, I would run a hose from my artesian well to house and still have running water. And my house well had water so pure that I did not need any kind of softener or anything.
I really miss all that water.
I'll bet you do miss it. An artesian well I believe is water stored between rocks underground so it's got to be pure. My grandmother grew up during the Depression and was a farmers daughter, so she knew the ins and outs of survival. They had a Spring House that was built above a Spring that kept their food cool during the summer months. Then I read up on how to keep food cool without a refrigerator and came up with several good hints. I would leave a cooler tied to a rope in the middle of his spring, but with raccoons being as smart as they are, I would postpone that idea. Kek!
You are so right my friend. My husband and I do have 2 generators/gas; but we plan on using candles and oil lamps for light at night with blackout curtains. We also use a gas stove with propane in our home. However, we have a camper that we have stocked full of food and emergency medical supplies, candles, an oil lamp, various flash lights and LED lights, extra propane, the MyPatriots stove/heater with the canned heat/4 boxes, makings for 2 different styles of Rocket Stoves, makings for several penny stoves with about 100 bottles of Isopropyl alcohol, 2 large 36 gallon trash cans/new and a tarp to catch rain water in for bathing/cleaning and maybe have to boil later once we run out of bottled water. And of course the Side Kick solar generator. The camper is for our hide out with the Veteran Marine and his mother who have a Militia set up on a road nearby us. My husband who is a former Army Sargeant also has been buying extra weapons and ammo. So hopefully we are all set to go. Good luck my friend.
Taking notes here. Some good suggestions, and I appreciate it.
I have a grill, griddle type unit, and single burner stand I can put pot on. Now I only have three full 25 lb propane tanks, but plan on keep minimum or 5 tanks. Hopefully five tanks would last al least six month if I had to use ever day.
I like the canned heat idea though.
As far as your medical supplies, you should make sure you have two or three kits of Chlorine Dioxide (22.4 % Sodium Chlorite and 4% Hydrochloride Acid) on hand. You can cure most anything with it, and it will be very valuable item when no one has medicine to cure infections, or a way to purify water.
Here are my links to MMS and DMSO.
Thank you for the suggestion of Chlorine Dioxide. Also about the canned heat; if you have a Roses discount store nearby AND (sometimes) Dollar Tree, you can find the canned heat there also. Only it lasts 2 hours compared to the canned heat that MyPatriotsSupply sells that lasts 6 hours. And you can buy canned heat at Walmart in the Sporting Goods Section. Again, I will check in on the Chlorine Dioxide. God bless.
