If you, your husband or a friend has basic metal fabrication skills, a gasifier is not too hard to make.

I liked the idea of being able to turn chips into electricity. I made one a few years ago but never got around to attaching it to my generator. I have a hard enough time getting it to run on gasoline.

Good luck with the new house, sounds like you have an exciting project ahead of you.

Don’t let the other freeper get under your skin. There are a few that confuse independence with the green weinies and vent their frustration on people that don’t deserve it.

How does your gasifier work? And are you afraid of it...lol We are seriously going to look into that. We have about 40 acres of wood land below our little farm. No problem getting wood. We are going to be getting all purpose chickens this year too. We had chickens before but, they were just layers. Don't even try to eat one of those, they are so tough, like trying to chew rubber.

I kinda figured that's what the guy thought. I'm by no means a green wienie, just like you say, want to become as independent as possible. In the coming days and years it's just going to get worse. You can just see the handwriting on the wall. I figure if my ancestors could live off the land with little or no help. And without buying to much, then we can do it too.
