Small Power Solutions

 



In a grid-down situation, having the ability to charge basic things or run small necessary medical equipment can make all the difference.  Also, having a little light when it gets dark can be a huge morale booster.  The Onite light listed below runs off of a power bank.  You can pick those up at any big box store and it's always good to have a few on hand.  I would look for power banks that are 10,000mah and up.  

The 100-watt kit from Harbor Freight was my first experience with solar.  I bought that and a 35 amp hour battery, with the 400-watt inverter linked below.  The kit contains everything a person needs to set up a simple system.  It even comes with two lights that plug directly into the charge controller.  

Listed below are some basic solar equipment and lights.

As the world struggles to come to terms with the devastating effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, one question that continues to surface is why the unvaccinated didn't do more to warn us about the potential dangers of being injected. While well intending citizens lined up, did the right thing, and received their COVID19 vaccinations -- now seeming to do more harm than good -- their unvaccinated friends stood by and let them do it. Some of them said too little. Some said nothing at all. Even though they knew what we didn't. Our blood is now on their hands. Those are strong words. But the unvaccinated had a...
