User ID: 76541118 United States 10/18/2018 06:14 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | That sounds real nice! Quoting: DestinyAKA-Des I'm in the middle of a National Forest, Appalachian Mnts. I've got my small and large meat smokers set up. Plenty of game up here. Pond that fills itself from 5 springs. So, water is not an issue. I am looking into solar panel for well because I know my generator won't have fuel forever. But, I'd have to cut some big trees for solar panels. Are you set up for having no electricity? I'm almost there but still a lot of work for me. Have a gennie but fuel doesnt last forever.... Well water, but electric pump Buffalo hand pump. expensive but worth it. Goes in along side the electric pump. I looked into solar pumps. Apparently those are only used in fountains and don't work at night. But there is one that cost $4700... I don't know, my well guy doesn't speak a language that I can understand. haha. |

User ID: 76541118 United States 10/18/2018 06:17 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm there right now. (doomstead, of course). It's beautiful here this time of year, getting things ready for winter, bringing in the last of the apples and quince, canning and pie making. Cutting firewood and stacking things that are seasoned to feed the wood stove when it's colder. Quoting: Crypto-Tard Spending about 50% of time here. Want it to be 100%. I'm with you, OP. Ooooh..I can smell the pies baking from here. I need to get a wood burning stove. I had my 100 gal propane tank replaced with a 500 gal one. They will only fill to 400 gals, leave room for expansion I guess. My whole home is heated by 2 black iron propane freestanding fireplaces. Just the one in the basement heats the main floor too. The other one in livingroom heats the whole house. I'm keeping my eyes open for a wood burning stove. There are a lot of them up here. Venting will be an issue, but it can be done. Plenty of firewood on my property. Your place sounds wonderful! Vermont Bun Burner. Solid! |

User ID: 72672450 United States 10/18/2018 06:49 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm interested in finding out how many GLPers already are living in their bugout place. Quoting: DestinyAKA-Des I am. But may need to find another person to help with upkeep, and continuing prepping for possible SHTF scenarios. I'm not sure if I should consider that option, as I do like living alone with my animals. I welcome any words of wisdom, and useful advice. Right now the country is full of flat out monsters. They are utterly ignorant and unskilled. After wave 1 or 2, the pickins for live in help will get safer. Many more looking at it as saving thier lives and they "can't do it alone" - right now pos's are just scoping out thier locals and planning who they will get first. I grew up and lived rural more than burbs and our park is in the zarks at a place where 250lb fridge, downbred alice the goon said "Preppin? If i run out of something, i know where my nieghbor lives!" Thats how a lot plan to do the whole thing. Jusy going place to place predating on others. About a third of the people in our place will be killed for trying it or because someones friend comes and only sees the helper, knows they got you and will cap them off for you and others sake. So the first wave should kill most or many of these thank god. It will also see people going through thier supplies and trying to figure out how to make more. Much safer bunch to consider taking one in? At first tho, they will be pledging fealty and murdering in the bed to take for thier selves. Amen and we do. I think at first we are bug in, but then spring lets them hunt farther and we will have to head for Rosewood. My place is all set up for winter. Bought this place 22 years ago. Winters here are not too bad. My home is a very narrow 3 story A frame tucked into the top of the mountain. New insulated tin roof 14 years ago. Snow just slides down the sides if it get heavy. You def need a geiger and in ponds the rad settles to the bottom, oil on top, draw water from middle. I am well advised to NOT do any extra saving people and plan to be alone with animals. Not sure that can last, but, where my good stuff, animals and me sleep will be like breaking into a vault. I trust no one when I am asleep. I will also be vary wary and terminate helpers on the first sign of treachery. Hope they are earnest, because i mean even if i have a bad dream they will harm us, thats it. If you have to say "go" they won't. The gist of bible on slaves commands that you treat them well as part of the family....i say as part of the household and estate, because bible is incredibly dirty too and why there is such a thing as "arabs"...nasty way those people used thier helpers. Almost unbelieveably nasty people, at least during bible time, if not still today. Slaves in the mideast complain all the time about the disregard, constant rape and abuse now, so niether the original pestilence trogs nor the first slave species they made have changed much if any. US culture was not a sexually nasty or childish culture until they went dumb. Many "child" cultures are indiscriminately sexual and its because thier socialism rendered them a pointless child with nothing to do and it was our morals and ethics that made the difference for US. Our ancestors knew all about the "sports of the unfulfilled and angry dead"....until the 60s promiscuity style. Helpers are great because rare. Assemble a home chemistry set up out of various size jars and containers. Processing raw materials one way or the other is a lot of what you will do. Have wine yeast as well as nutrtional and start building your bread oven/meat smoker. You will need it.

Are you set up for having no electricity? I'm almost there but still a lot of work for me. Water can be an issue. 7 - 10 gallons per day per person can be realized, assuming one washer load per week and composting can. Rainfall at 12" a year can produce around this amount for a cabin. Power: 3.5 kwh per day per person, which includes a small fridge, microwave, and a satellite internet connection. 12 U2200 forklift batteries. Use propane for the water heater. Most Home Depot type generators last around 1,000 hours of use before either the engine or alternator gives up. Solar is the most maintenance-free. Wind can be a supplement, but I wouldn't rely on it. Most turbines in the 400 - 600 watt range don't last beyond a few years.

I'm almost there but still a lot of work for me. ------- I've been thinking about that. The biggest things we use electricity for is light & food storage. A small effecient freezer would do the job...one solar panel should be able to power it. Then use solar yard lights...charge them up during the day & take them inside to use them at night.

User ID: 69359666 United States 10/18/2018 11:51 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It's damn hard to find anyone to work on odd jobs up here. Plus I'm on a set limited income. I budget to keep things on an even keel. Quoting: DestinyAKA-Des That's why I was playing with the idea of bartering a lg room on the 3rd floor in exchange for helping out with upkeep on property and home. I have a complete workshop in the garage. But I can't do everything by myself. I have a 3/4 acre of flat land by my pond I tried to garden years ago. But the rabbits deer and bears thought I had put in a big buffet just for them I hardly even got any grapes I have going. That's the biggest problem, I usually have to entice contractors with "3 hots and a cot" and a beautiful work environment for at least a week. You learn that either you fix it / build it your self or it doesn't get done. A lot of people won't take any work out this far. When you are afraid of losing your life, you have already lost your life. Don't be afraid. |
