I actually bought a pedal-powered generator a few years back. It’s not my only power source, I also have a TEG and some small solar panels. I figure this way I can charge small devices no matter what the weather is like.
More and more I keep seeing requests from people in Europe asking for advice on how to get by without electricity or natural gas. I’m afraid to see what it’s going to look like over there when winter comes!
Last Fall I saw a vid of a German PSA that was basically how to keep warm and survive in your unheated apartment. I wish I’d at least bookmarked it, if not saved it.
We’re boring we just bought a dual fuel generator that will power an entire 31 ft RV. Or all the major appliances in our house.
