Practical Prepping Protocol even if Poor

My current prepper project is thermal electric generators.....basically a way to generate small amounts of electricity to charge USB devices with fire.....it uses Peltier effect chips so there are no moving parts and most of the stuff I have laying around in my junk boxes....

The idea started when I found a fan that circulates warm air around the room from a wood burning stove.....It was a broken return item I got for a buck at a liquidation store....the fan blade was broken but the peltier chip was intact and working.....

BTW I love my local liquidator store.....they sell return items for pennies on the dollar....I find many parts for projects there...

This video is 4 hr's long however it's a wealth of information on how to make herbal medicines. I was able to watch the entire video yesterday in parts. I sat and took notes just as her class that she is teaching did.

Hope y'all find this instruction as beneficial as I did~

Just a drive by Hello was a AC for about a year still stopped by now and then Love ya keep posting!
I did go ck out reddit/preppers wow unreal cra cra people over there!

Topping of on some grocery things for the upcoming flu season, covidiot lock downs coming soon!
The news from abroad is not good!
Not allowed to leave your home.

Getting some fresh, cooking oils coconut and some lard, A few gallons of syrup butter yeast muffin mixes and oatmeal

The small animals are doing good. Momma rabbit dug and ate thru into papas pen so in 30 days more rabbits I am sure!
15-20 quail escaped and now are free ranging, still have 4 breading colonies.
Chickens the 10 newer started laying along with the old girls giving about a dozen a day I think, they free range it is a egg hunt everyday!

If you are thinking about getting it read this first!

Informed consent disclosure to vaccine trial subjects of risk of COVID19 vaccines worsening clinical disease via Antibody Dependent Enhancement (ADE).

Patient comprehension is a critical part of meeting medical ethics standards of informed consent to disclose the specific risk that COVID19 vaccines could worsen disease upon exposure to challenge or circulating virus.

COVID19 vaccines were reviewed to determine if risks were properly disclosed.

COVID19 vaccines designed to elicit neutralising antibodies may sensitise vaccine recipients to more severe disease than if they were not vaccinated.



Gotta go I will be lurking
God bless and good luck

Pooka, I've been meaning to dig these threads out and repost them here. I didn't check the links to see if they all work, but the recipes in here are good.

Thread: Using Your Food Storage......Recipes and Ideas


This one is my favorite!

Thread: Make a Mix and Substutute

Someone mentioned about a book about wild edibles.
While it's nice to have such books, it's even better to get a plant identifying app and starting using it in nature whenever you have free time.

You can learn a lot. I have been doing this a couple of times and I can already find 7~8 edible plants in the mountains quickly. There are tons of food in nature. Start doing this, it's worth the time.

S
Splendid suggestions! Have to say I have always been exceedingly fond of the esoteric science-specific term "doo-lalley".

A good but sad read....

Good to see this thread is still going. It's one of the necessary ones that people need.

I'm currently working on a project involving refurbishing old netbook computers, installing a secure operating system, and then copying over 17 GB of data on disaster preparation and survival that I have accumulated over the years. They are specifically designed to be stored long-term in a safe or EMP-hardened shelter where the information can be accessed digitally after a large-scale disaster. I'm calling them SurvivE-Books.

I'm also offering the information by itself stored on a USB thumb drive which I'm calling SurvivE-Drives. These are much less expensive but still require a computer to read the data stored on them. I hope to have my first units up for sale on E-Bay by the end of the month. Be interesting to see if they sell.

Keep up the good work, Pooka.

I've been publishing this thread in various comment sections on yt and what not because it is (unlike most of GLP) cohesive and salient and pertinent. My last avatar (St Lance) is est morte. Now what is the likely timing of the Guardian [link to www.theguardian.com (secure)]
Tended towards our topics in the same timeframe? I give my time and mind for free because I love GuLP and all of you. Does the Guardian watch us or do we/I watch the Guardian? It gets complex. In many cases I could not care less if GuLP is 2 days before the news. In the cae of this thread I pray they are 2 days before but I, sigh, do not think nor type so.
Stay salty, stay frosty, stay salient. We are the cutting edge. Make the views worth it. God Bless ya'll and lets find and dig for...MOAR!

Trying to find alternative ways to keep my daughter's insulin cold. Any ideas? I can live without refrigeration, but she can't.

That's very budget dependent. [link to newatlas.com (secure)] For instance is on the cheaper end of the market at $1000.00 but its stand alone and portable. If you wanted to do a full convert from a freezer to a cooler (I'll repost so you don't have to scroll back xxx number of pages...) [link to reductionrevolution.com.au (secure)] An old freezer and $50.00 worth of parts does it. I'm lacking the electrical skills to tell you how many solar panels it would take to run it. But you'll notice that...

QUOTE I've converted both a small and large freezer into energy efficient refrigerators using this simple thermostat retrofit method.

I achieved the best results converting a brand new ~100 litre ALDI upright freezer into a drinks fridge. Electricity consumption for this fridge (after the conversion) stabilised at just over 50 Wh per day. That's about $5 per year in electricity costs.

At the other end of the spectrum, I converted a relatively large ~20 year old upright freezer into a refrigerator. The results were still fairly impressive, with usage averaging around 250 Wh per day. This is still about 75% less energy than a regular upright fridge or fridge / freezer combination. END QUOTE

it runs efficiently on very little power. So in a powers out scenario, you would have little need for lots of homepower to run the thing. Any electrical types here?

SHeesh see what happens when I start looking about for something... [link to offgridworld.com (secure)] Zero power!
8000 rupees is about $110.00 FRNs

I tried a Koolgardie chest which is an Australian metal pie safe type thing with water that drips down canvas and placed in the wind. Where I live, unless there's bad weather, our wind is very calm. It doesn't work without wind to cool down the unit. Plus, the evaporation is not so well here with the humidity we have.

I suppose I better pony up and get some solar. I can get a very small fridge because only insulin would have to be in there.

Thanks

I live in Florida. It's everywhere. I tried a zeer pot, and the temperature was not low enough. I have to keep looking.

Mr. Poole, how long is the cabin tenancy? May I join you?

Very cool!

They have packs of these for super cheap at places like Big Lots and on eBay from Ch y na.

Lol...it's my sons 'Aunts' (my ex from the early 90's) family home away from home. She's been there since 2 months prior to any quarantine happening. I don't pay for it. It's just open to me since the family, is family.

But yes, the freezer conversion and (I always forget stuff in my older posts) Thread: $620 Milk Crate Solar Power System: 640Wh LiFePO4, 500W Inverter, 260W Solar/AC Input, 8x USB SHould be fairly cheap to do instead of the solar coolers that move about. If I'm wrong with the energy needs, hopefully someone will speak up. I have a mental block when it comes to electricity which if 'flustrating'. It just, won't stick.
