Off Grid Power

An open and decentralized society should focus on creating as much off grid power as possible.

This is my journey into mobile AND off grid power.

This is a big goal of mine and there are tons of options and resources these days. This is a big reason I’m working on becoming an All Mode Journeyman Electrician. I want to at least know what I’m working with and maybe even do a lot of the work myself.

Much more to come – soon hopefully.

I’m starting my backup solution with just collecting enough propane tanks and heaters to keep our house warm for a couple of weeks at least. I also have a portable dual fuel generator that I’ve been running on gas, but can be run on propane also. This is a now name generator that I bought shortly after we bought this place. It’s been good to us so far.

I like propane because it stores better than gasoline.

I would like to get a second very portable one for the rig and maybe even another better one for the house. With enough propane, we would be secure for a while on power and heat.

In the future, I would love to replace the roof (which will need to be done in the next few years) with solar panels and a good battery system.
