Re: i Don't WANNA go off the grid!!!
Marshall that is reality for living in our day and age, and especially under the present government. But, most of us arnt Donald Trumps, so not preparing for what we can prepare for has its costs. Be prepared, or pay the price, thats life nowadays.
Jafo I have looked at those Harbor Freight backup chargers and I think that they are a good idea. My yurt plan includes a 400+ watt solar two panel system on Amazon, they have a LOT of good homestead solar listed. I am planning for max use of LEDs, I greatly admire the Mongolian nomads, but I note now that even they have sat dishes scattered amongst themselves.
Either we can prepare for the eventualities of life or hope and pray for a dreamed of nanny state to take care of us. Unfortunately under our present admin most nannys we find will closer resemble the female guards at auschwicz. Harsh, a bit exaggerated, but, just a bit. Remember NOs during Katrina.
I do prefer to live on the grid, all said and done, but in the last ten years or so I dont think there has been a year of it without the power going off for at least a week.
