Recycled bedsheets make best waterproof tarps





NEW Flower Pot Heater - Costs Just 4 Cents An Hour To Run..
- COST: Costs mentioned in the video are base on Australian prices for Ikea candles - The may be cheaper/more expensive elsewhere


- TIME: It takes about and hour to make a noticeable difference on overall room temperature. But sitting next to it makes a huge difference. e.g. if you're working at your desk, sit it next to you

- MODIFICATIONS: The version shown in the video doesn't have any holes in the the top for the warm air to escape like many others on shown Youtube do. I have tried both configurations and my conclusion is that both options work well, but have slightly different applications
-- No holes version gets hotter and therefore is better if you are sitting next to it as you get more radiant heat
-- With holes version lets some of the hot air escape out the top and therefore fills the room with hot air, and is thus better for heating a larger area.

I have seen this method used to heat small spaces without using natural gas, propane or electricity. A 3 pound can of vegetable shortening can burn for 8 hours a day for over a month. It seems to be a relatively safe method to generate heat in an emergency situation. All you need is a couple of terra cotta pots, 2 heating ducks, 2 small jars, 2 birthday candles, and a can of vegetable shortening.

Hook it up to a little generator. Takes like 5 minutes.

Just use a battery and inverter. If the battery gets low, charge it from your car, solar panel, or a generator. No reaon to keep a generator running much for such a small load.

It's good to have a large house for storing your crap.

There's no need to heat more than one room. You can eat, read, work, and sleep in a highly insulated room in the middle of your house, or even a basement if you have one. Shitting might be cool in the bathroom, but not that bad. You can always wait until spring to take a shower.

Agree. The cabin is 12'x 18' with a small loft (2 futon mattresses), wood stove, futon double bed couch and single Loveseat pull out bed. It could easily sleep 5. However.. there is no bathroom. Will have to get the outhouse with a composting toilet built before it snows.. it almost always snows on Halloween here.

Nice and cosy with the wood stove burning. Sometimes too hot.

A deck of cards, chess set, games, puzzles, CD player with discs, oil lamps, candles, solar lantern, battery lamp.. can heat water, cook soup or ramen on wood stove or on single burner.. it's all good.

It was spelled out for you in your disclosure thread Thread: FULL DISCLOSURE - galactics and humans band together to liberate the Earth

(if you wish to take this up further, being that is it off topic, we could discuss it on your other thread)

the fake intel and fake ET cult that infiltrated many many information "grape vines" including Q groups. Please re-read and research the information you dismissed as debunkers. Some of us have researched this fake intel group that infiltrated true patriot justice and reformation groups with mass fake intel and disinformation sabotage. Some of us have kept a constant watch warning and exposing the lies for decades and know what we are talking about. But people want to believe in and feed off of the constant feed of fake hopium intel promises.

Candace Frieze aka "all is one is all, mother maggie" has been a main source of the channeled, galactic federal, nesara, gesara, ET white knight, white hat fake intel, taking over in succession after the announced passing of dove of oneness known as the dove reports revolving around large investment / world charity funds.

The information and fake intel have been proven false over and over again for decades. This is the origin of the "two more weeks" "soon, sooooon" "trust the plan" mockery going on for decades, not new Q mockery phrases, the same mockery of the same group putting out the same disinfo fake intel for decades. The weekly fake intel reports were always making promises of this and that in just two more weeks and coming up with some elaborate work of fiction to justify the delay and the change of plan.

I can give you a list of threads that expose all of this presenting undeniable proof and facts of the fraud and many years of proven lies.

I can prove to you in hard facts 90% of the information was and is made up fiction and lies. Do you choose to still hold out for hopium in fake intel and believe that at least some small percentage might be true?
The next question to ask is why such an elaborate work of fictional psyops surrounding disclosure, political factions and such a large financial conspiracy. It is a major distraction, cover up and discredit of the real factual information on the subjects.

That shouldn't stop you if you are going to freeze to death, even if you have to cut the house wiring...

But any generator compatible with your AC (in the UK it is 240 /50hz) can be fed directly into your house wiring at the load panel-- just using a standard breaker. This has the benefits of giving you a little light in addition to heat, will provide power to the fridge/freezer and possibly the ability to run the radio or TV

If you do this you MUST

1) turn off the main breaker for the panel ( this prevents problems if/when the grid comes back on..at which point you turn off your generator breaker and re-enable the main. NEVER have both on at the same time. You MUST interrupt power when switching

2) Place the generator somewhere where it won't be pumping Carbon monoxide and other pollutants into your home. If you have to run an extension cord through a window or vent you can do that -

3) The cord or plug from the generator and breaker it is hooked to MUST be sized to handle the current the generator puts out ( or you can use a smaller breaker - but then it may trip if you try to draw too much from the genny) Not doing this will mean the cord will got hot - perhaps enough to start a fire


You can of course have an outdoor plug with appropriate wiring installed along with a breaker with metal interconnects to the main breaker ( this metal bonding ensures both cannot be on at the same time) Not sure about self install in the UK.. but it shouldn't be expensive to hire a professional to do this if necessary -- and its REALLY a good idea to have the capability of putting out a small generator and powering the critical systems in your home. They make Whole house generators - and you can get them to run on LP if you want to also install a 500-1000 gallon propane tank. Such a system will get you through a large number of disasters - and also removes your reliance on the gas company..as the boiler/oven etc can all be converted to use propane.. but knowing the UK - its all probably forbidden in most areas.

The UK isn't great for solar, you get on average about 2.5 hours of full production a day ( for a 6KW system this works out to about 15KW-hrs a day - more in the summer, less in the winter, and always hampered by cloud cover) But solar combined with a battery is a great fuel less option that can be expected to perform for 20+ years.

Using a london postal code and this calculator

[link to www.pvfitcalculator.energysavingtrust.org.uk (secure)]

It looks like it would be about 8000 pounds to install a 6Kw system without a battery - producing 15kw-hrs a day and 5700 KW-hrs a year. The average UK home uses 3,731 kWh ( if they let you self install I am sure you could greatly reduce that amount) Given the crap going on in the world, and how they are -again - messing with Europe - locking in your energy prices for 20 years may not be a bad idea, but it would certainly be far more expensive than simply getting a generator and installing a plug for it outside your home.

Thank you AC. Indeed I found the info interesting, which is why it was posted ,but I haven't viewed of listened to anything from this source since.

It was spelled out for you in your disclosure thread Thread: FULL DISCLOSURE - galactics and humans band together to liberate the Earth

Having been involved with these types of topics since 1998 and done in-depth research over these many years, that one slipped by. Most of my sources are direct & indirect military, many of which I personally met and others were contactees, also personal contacts. There are people who were involved with the galactics who started out as an excellence source who ended up being compromised. It's fairly easy to spot whose been compromised, but not always.

I apologize for that one slipping by.

The average UK home uses 3,731 kWh ( if they let you self install I am sure you could greatly reduce that amount) Given the crap going on in the world, and how they are -again - messing with Europe - locking in your energy prices for 20 years may not be a bad idea, but it would certainly be far more expensive than simply getting a generator and installing a plug for it outside your home.
 Quoting: Weisshaupt


Everything you said went way over my head and the price is unaffordable. And winters here are extremely bad for solar.

I may call an electrician and see if they can per regulations not have it hard wired in but perhaps put a socket instead on that circuit. If they can, perhaps I can afford a small power bank of some sort

Of course, that’s if there is still gas

When you are forced into a survival situation it is essential that you learn about condensation. It can kill you with damp cold mold or save your life with an essential water supply.

You must learn to recycle and utilize your condensation or let it build up in all the wrong places, cause all your stuff and the air you breath to fill with mold and make all your stiff and you wet, damp and colder.

You also have to learn about ventilation in addition to condensation. Your CO2, (exhale exhaust filled with moisture causing condensation) and flame from any source will need to be well vented and re=oxygenated or it can kill you.

Your own co2, if you breath in your own breath in a confined space will kill you if it is not expelled out of the dwelling with a clean fresh intake of oxygenated air. Any flame will put out more deadly co2 and burn up more oxygen killing you even faster.

Your fresh air intake must be much lower than your exhaust air exit. The rising heat will draw out the air and pull in the colder fresh air.

A longtime used proven effective correct teepee structure allows air to flow in through the base of the teepee and out through the top. An inner lining halfway up around the inside of the teepee keeps the lower cold air flow out of the main living area and allows the smoke, CO2 and excess condensation to escape out the top.

Moral of the story, you might want to practice making a teepee in the main living space that holds in your heat and properly ventilates rather than set up a tent or barricade yourself in a confined room.

In my personal experience, a teepee lined with a condensation moisture proof interior will collect condensation for recycling much better than a dome structure, the domes will leak on you and not run off as well.
