Have you ever babysat a genset or 4 for say... 179 days?

'Lektrikity is best made in bulk by large coal eating plants fed by trains far, far away. Not too far...

Gotta make it on property? Figure on severe restrictions.

Electric heaters are right out. Burn a mother-in-law or something.

I was off grid for over a year, and still managed to keep the laptop and a few other things going. But I figured out really damn fast what was important, and what I could lose.

You have to have gasoline for a generator. The question is “How long will you need the gasoline?” I have a friend in NW Arkansas who has a 300 gallon tank. That’ll run a generator for a long time but eventually there’s no gas.

The only sure way to have electricity is a solar system. And that’s expensive. Of course, doesn’t look like this guy spared any expense.
