Today is a quick video for you guys. I did some testing of some new homesteading tools. Took a hike with Mike and his family on their property. I didn’t realize they had so much land. We had a great day in the woods. Getting Mike out from in front of the tv and his kids away from the computer and game system. None of them get out enough. I’m determined to get Couch Potato Mike fit. Let me tell you a bit about what we did
Off Grid Alternatives is something I’ve thought about a lot recently. Things that will work well without power to do everyday tasks. Items that will suit you during a collapse. My homestead will not be off grid. Entirely. More like semi off grid working towards fully off grid. There are exceptions I can’t work around. I need the internet for the blog, communication and cat videos. For other things though I can find alternatives. Simple no power off grid alternatives. This post is a collection of thoughts on a few items I’m planing on getting. If you have experience with any let me know.
I’m going to try to kill two birds with one stone. Being that it is National Preparedness Month I want to give away stuff. I’m also moving soon and need to get rid of some things. Win win for all of you. Up today is a copy of Steven Harris Sunshine To Dollars book. I love this book. It is packed with great info. So Why am I giving it away? Well years ago Steven sent me one for review. Later I won a contest and got another copy of Sunshine to dollars. Even though 2 is 1, 1 is none, I’m giving away the second copy. I’ll include my previous review on it.
September is National Preparedness Month as declared by FEMA. I’ll take it anyway. It’s like a month long celebration to being a prepper. They make a big push to get America more prepared. When the gov does something good even an anarchist like me will admit it. Anyone spreading the message of preparedness is good with me. For those just getting into prepping they have a lot of resource at their Ready.gov site. I have my own way of celebrating it. Sorry I won’t be recreating my previous years month long giveaway. Well I do have a few things so keep your eyes out. No for me National Preparedness Month means taking stock of things.
I was thinking about my time spent living in two tiny sheds recently. I realized It was a story I briefly mentioned on a podcast once. Today I’m going to go into it a bit more. I think there are a lot of lessons from the tiny house experience. It was from summertime to winter that I lived in 2 10×8 sheds. From both a construction viewpoint to a tiny house living one I learned so much. The reason I got to thinking about it was a conversation with my buddy Dave from TnGun. It was about me not freezing to death this winter. I laughed at the idea. The Survivalpunk will not be freezing and I have the history to prove it. So let’s get into the story.
