  • What will you do when the lights go out? Sit and hope they come back on? Or get up and dig into how prepared you are and make the lights come back on.

    Thanks for the video. I purchased a Bluetti solar 2kwh generator last year for the florida hurricanes. Need to make a few solar suitcases

      We’re diving in and taking you guys with us! I’m working on a small solar set up that I can add on to now. I plan on doing some portable stuff too! Thanks for watching!

    Good job. Don't make it about an apocalypse, but about things that people can relate to. Tornado, hurricane, freeze, anything that can cause us to lose power for more than a day.
    The Predator generators are not bad and probably the best for their price. I'd run it a couple of hours l, change the oil, and check for excessive metal shavings. I'd be surprised if it is an issue.
    Tecumseh stopped making engines about 15 years ago but parts are still around. I have a push weedwhacker with a Tecumseh engine.
    I had quotes up to $70k to install a complete solar setup on my house, and that didn't include batteries!!!!!
    I see Lifepo4 batteries on Amazon now for under $200. That's a 12v, 100ah battery for a little more than a Walmart battery.
    We have 4 freezers. One for beef, one for pork, one for fish, and one in our garage with a little of everything. Keeping them running is a major concern, so we have 2 generators. We have a 6500 watt Multiquip and a 2k Honda. The Honda is extremely quiet. We keep 20 gallons of gasoline and run it through trucks and mowers throughout the year. I use the Marine Stabil and also keep some Sea Foam on hand.
    Solar power is really a no-brainer for preparedness. Just 1200 watts of solar panels and an inverter will keep you going if you have a few batteries. Cheap? Hardly, but redundancy is important.
    I've gotta run a coffee maker, freezers, fans in summer, and an electric blanket in winter. Forget about AC and heat, unless you plan to spend $25k or more.

      Your spot on! We’ve been half way doing these things for years and just no concentrating on them! I really think people are missing the point and need to start paying attention. Thanks for watching and for the info!
