Looking back over previous posts on this thread
I have two woodstoves, a smaller one for cooking and a larger one for winter heating. One thing I really like is those fans that sit on top of the...

Well actually I do have hand crank radios but hopefully my remoteness will lessen my need for current news. I think that clocks might be more valuable to me. Strangely, I currently do not miss the...
Personally I am prepping based only on what the pioneers had available. Yes, I don't hesitate to use technology to reach a certain point. For instance I don't hesitate to use a dozer to break the...

Even where I am at there isn't a light bulb within 10km, and I certainly wouldn't test there if I do at all. And the reason I would test is that I'm not positive it would work. I know how...

Hi there Welcome
Yeah, what if thinking is what it is all about. If we are to not only survive but thrive we have to think "what if." That is what my novel is all about.
Hi and welcome
Welcome
I have something to teach everyone here and everyone here has something to teach me. However it is rare to find someone whose knowledge I lack in the first post. Don't be afraid to teach. ...
Welcome Love your handle. The important thing to remember is to filter everything thru your common sense filter. Everyone elses good solution is not necessarily good for you. However there are a lot...

You might consider tripods which can be movable fairly easily

Yeah, anything that multiplies your strength is good. I've got chain blocks, block and tackle, 20 ton and high lift jacks, come alongs, and have used every one of them. I try to buy the...
