This is my last real nut to crack in the way of off-grid Independence. If I get things going up in the holler, that place will be water turbine driven for power with solar being a backup. But as it is now, even where I am I'm moving forward, with the solar system that will be back up up there, functioning down here as the primary power source, using the place here as a testing bed while I am still close to town. I will still have access to electric power from the grid, but I will not need it anymore.
Right now I still do need it. But if it becomes tenuous, even now I would be all right, providing that I had fuel enough to run the generators. I'm working on that too, converting one of my generators over the natural gas for a proper fallback generator. As for the rest, I already heat primarily with wood, and I can make light with fuel oil lanterns. So really all I need generators for now is for the freezing and refrigeration.
This is something I think everyone should consider, providing they live where they have the space to implement it. It isn't just because of biden, or just because of anything. but rather, to be as independent as possible in the face of any catastrophe that maybe looming on the horizon.
It doesn't have to be that complicated. But one of the primary thought processes that go into survival is the idea of usable alternatives, and that always being a useful consideration.
