Could be interesting and have some good prepping tips.

It’s about time a generation came along to develop economically viable independence from the grid.
To: dynachrome
“Concerned that the economy could collapse?”
Preparing for it in fact.

Does not understand the idea of clan, tribe, or community. A bigger gang thrives at the expense of individuals. It’s why we have a nation.
To: dynachrome
Yeah I’d like to see a good prepper show that doesn’t ridicule preppers as crazy conspiracy theorists.
There was a short lived Off the grid type show on discovery for a while but it was kind of ridiculous. It was cool that they could power a truck with a woodstove but not really all that useful in an emergency.

Most reality shows hype conflict for ratings. We’ll see if Beck does that.

IMO getting off the grid means eing non existent to the U.S. government. Especially the I.R.S.
Yes, I hate them that much.

You can look on Google Books to get the US publication that shows you how to build one. Those Google Books are free.

It might be worth the time for a tractor but I can’t see wasting the time on a truck when a horse and wagon are a reliable alternative.

If you don’t feed the horse for a week, it dies. If you don’t feed the wood-gas truck for a week, it just takes a little longer to start.

Here is a link to the book. If the link doesn't work, Google Construction of a Simplified Wood Gas Generator for Fueling Internal Combusion Engines in a Petroleum Emergency.... :) Pretty easy to figure it was written on government contract...

I have neither horse nor wagon. And want neither. A horse is a hole in the pasture that eats time and treasure.
I can, in a pinch, get a truck without a computer.
Your mileage may vary.

screw beck. every time you click on his site it helps the Mormon cult.
To: dynachrome
Glen Beck is unstable, something is very wrong with this boy :-(
From Beck you get maybe 90% good sense and the rest is embarrassing crap.... it’s just sad and odd.
