I'm a natural skeptic and professional analyst, so I gather a broad array of opinions and information, then boil it down to the very best solution. I also have the luxury to afford to purchase multiple alternatives to evaluate each and choose the best. For each video, you’ll see the succinct result of the best information from a range of sources, direct experience with various alternatives, and the solution I use for myself and my family. I hope to save you time and money by sharing what I learn in short and factual videos.
Wallke ST eBike Review
I've had great experiences with my Wallke X3 Pro eBike, and the company asked if I'd review their city bike, the Wallke ST (step-through) model. The sleek design and feature set piqued my interest, and so I'm sharing my thoughts about both.

I don’t care for these sling packs on my back, but I keep one with my go bag. If you put it on the front of you and then put on your backpack you now have an added way to secure “valuable s “ along the way. Extra water bottles, jacket or beech towel. Maybe you can score a decent purchase at a supermarket it it’s early on. When I did a practice run with a buddy I was in my work truck. It is full of resources, nothing I would readily incorporate into a go bag but things I saw a value in for sure. I rolled up a moving blanket, took a couple of plastic drop clothes a few hand tools masks, ear plugs, handful of nails. I also always have a case of water in the truck and plenty of snacks for an energy boost. The sling bag gave me an option of lessening the suck factor, and if it got in my way I could always thin it out or dump it all together.
Remove the background music.
The download links don't work, even when removing the spaces. How can I get them?
Any luck? I am building one right now and would like to have those resources.
Using a pull along shopping cart initially or bicycle with baby carry / trailer also works to carry more water etc
This is EXCELLENT. thabk you for the video, sir!
Hi i perches all the parts to build this generator but what I got you don't have on your video or the blue print there's no full explanation to build this generator and how to connect all the parts I received
Not sure if you're still around, but I've never seen a video about a TRUE desert get home bag. Ie, let's say you're driving from vegas to los Angeles, and shtf happens when you're in Baker. That's 94 miles back to Vegas. God forbid its summer, and it's 114 degrees. Are you not screwed? Get a dolly and carry 50 gallons of water? Lol, im not coming down on you, but it seems 99% of preppers live by a lake or streams, so water's not an issue. Any thoughts? And yes, i have a silock key, too. Thank you
You must be from Minnesota. One who works in 115°F knows how to handle and prep for 115°F heat.
@puppiesarepower3682 so by the same logic, the 99% of preppers making get home bag videos for their audiences who live by kakes and streams are really just wasting their and their audiences time. Because heck, they should already know how to prepare for their environment? Wow, that's profound. You should let them know this.
Awesome! Just awesome!
Thats a fine solar cart
Great video! BUT I can't access any of the files, get a Microsoft ISS error.
Did you ever get a response?
@@robertpark9590 No... his site has issues/errors
Cool. I want to copy it, but I dont have the space. But thanks for the input either way.
I saved this to build it at a later date, but the links no longer work. Could you update them? You have a phenomenal idea with this
I have a rush 5 11 12 almost same color
Great job!
Could you add the wiring diagram to your pdf ? im building one and having a prob wiring .
Outstanding
Do you have your component list still avail? The website is no longer accessible. Thank you.
Links don't work tried firefox and chrome.
This is amazing the simplicity yet effectiveness of the panels the clean execution of the build bravo 👏🏿
MOPP 장비는 필요 없나요?
Good video vary helpful
What kind of a bullshit explanation is it in this movie ? 40 galons of fuel is 151 liters for the generator and a run time of 2000Watt generator is only 80 hr ? ANd the 4x100W panels will deliver to you 2000Watt for how long ?
Are those batteries "Northstar" AGM batteries???
The led on the button drains power as well if it stays on the entire time......Does this light stay on ?
Thank ya much
You need to check out there and dependent TJ Morrison who owns Refuge medical. God bless you and God bless your family. God bless the world it’s all just get along.
Great video. Unfortunately the links don't work.
The links in the descriptions work. Check again.
@@waterislife9 Thanks for answering but this is what I get: "HTTP Error 404.0 - Not Found" Would really like to see them as similar job is in progress.
🎉 Excellent work 🙏🏻. New subscriber 👍
What is the name of the bag for water storage on the sides
Could you share files in different area? Files has gone.. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing this info. Unfortunately the links in the descriptions aren’t working - can you or someone pls share?
Hi. Great video. Question is can you put the upper parts inside a big plastic box like a large gun case. Only close it to transport, open when in use. Also. How could you make it so the wiring to the batteries disconnect so the upper part and batteries can be transported since I'm single no help. Thank you for your time and great information.
Great content is the solar charger video available yet?
Excellent work! Thank you for the video.
Excellent video, and Kudos to your thoughtful and professional design. I have downloaded your parts list and will return to review some of your other projects.
Well I would probably double the batteries. Also I have a friend with solar he has a rack that he can adjust according to the sun angle not sure how may times he changes it in a year. Not sure how hard it would be but more panels would be nice too.
Great Video. Do you have an antenna recommendation for GMRS (fixed repeater location)?
hi sorry to bother you but can not get on to your web site as am looking for the parts list for your repeater box as i like the way it works thanks steve
You are very knowledgeable and that’s a awesome solar generator you made up there and as you pointed out it’s exspensive but cheaper than buying those solar generators that produce that much power, I am just now trying to save and buy one part at a time to make me one of those power stations for it’s very handy to have back up power in real time power outages ! Thanks for your knowledge ! Have a great day and stay safe too
This is fantastic, thank you but it looks like the links don't work :( can anyone who has downloaded them help by uploading and sharing somewhere?
Same issue here
No parts list!!!
Years later, I still refer back to this video as a go-to guide. Great job.
great video! i used it for inspiration and built my own 12v cart, just posted it
Good job!
What? no deodorant?
Amazing!!! Imagine all YT instructional videos done this way!!! Don't need your name, your life story, about your life or wife, all of the I, Me, My, etc. Bullcrap.. Thank you.. Cheers....
This is fantastic! Any chance of a wiring diagram? Thanks again.
Very cool
We have used the czcams.com/users/postUgkxOTeIs0vv4_9B5hsmnLsk9r930uDQLu_Y for probably 30 hours with our camper and it’s been great! The noise level is really only noticeable when running the AC and other appliances like the microwave, hair dryer, or coffee pot. It’s not huge like other ones and it has wheels so even at 90lbs, I can move it!
Just completed the break-in period and so far the unit is operating perfectly czcams.com/users/postUgkxOTeIs0vv4_9B5hsmnLsk9r930uDQLu_Y . I was amazed by just how quiet this little guy is. I kept having to walk down the driveway to the generator to make sure it was still running. In fact, the most annoying noise coming from the set-up is a high-pitched chirping coming from the pressure regulator on the propane line. I suppose it's possible my other propane-powered generator's pressure regulator is making the same noise, but the generator itself is so loud I've never noticed it. Build quality so far is excellent. My only nit is the service panel is a little tricky to remove. I feel like I might break off one of the plastic tabs when bending it back. I probably just need to work out the technique, so will not hold it against Champion.Next week I intend to fully load the unit to charge a large battery pack and will update this review if there's any problem (3000W continuous load vs a rated 3100W capacity while using propane). Absent any trouble there, I'm 100% pleased with this purchase.
