      Options for keeping a house warm with zero electric or gas.

      I don't know your house, but something in the underlined sentence is just plain wrong and could discourage somebody for prepping for the winter. However, if they do follow that then they will be PLENTY warm. I have 1200 sq ft above ground, and 1000 or so in the basement (partially above ground)...

      Snow tires.

      http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/results.jsp?autoMake=Nissan&autoModel=Rogue+FWD&autoYear=2013&autoModClar=SL The most important place to have snow/good tires is the rear. Otherwise, WHEN you break traction by stopping your rear end will go to the front (spin out). So if this is front wheel drive...

      WTS: Food grade 55 gallon plastic barrels - NWI

      Currently still available. These have double 2" bung openings, and as stated, one of the bung caps is missing in each barrel. It didn't bother me for the price, I was just going to fill one with the barrel pump anyway.

      WTS: Food grade 55 gallon plastic barrels - NWI

      *Sold* Food grade 55 gallon plastic barrels - NWI *Sold* I am moving to Michigan and dont care to haul these. I am asking $10 each, pickup in Portage on weekends only (Friday 6pm-Sunday 2pm). I picked these up from a mexican food manufacturer/distribution and they held food ingredients. One...

      NWI INGO General Post - Part 8

      I'm looking for a pickup in NWI, preferably somewhat close to portage or I94, but not necessarily. I got a new job and will be moving to western Michigan, probably going to get an apartment at first and come home on weekends, so I figured I'd get a pickup to move all my stuff (unless somebody...

      How about just a 'little bit' of Solar?

      I looked up our solar hours, average is 4 hours per day, more importantly though, summer is about 5 hours and winter is about 2 hours. You will need to know the needs of your pump (from my research on this topic for sump pumps, there are HUGE differences in efficiencies for the same horsepower)...

      How about just a 'little bit' of Solar?

      I think you would either start by bending over.... or by getting a low flow pump that pumps to a tank, best if it is DC so you can bypass the inverter entirely, but a small 1/2hp 120v or less can be powered by a reasonably priced inverter (for some amount of time). The reason for the bending...

      Anybody ever eat Lamb's Quarter?

      Purslane is pretty good, just remember for those who haven't had it, it grows in the same areas as spurge, which isn't edible (poisonous?) The difference is easy, purslane is a nice succulent stem, spurge is a milky sappy stem like milkweed.

      Carp Fishing Northern Indiana?

      When the mulberries are ripe I've seen pretty large (15-20lbs? never landed one) carp gobbling the mulberries that hit the water in the east branch of the calumet. I threw worms on a #12 hook (nothing else, with a 15' pole, so no weight to scare them off), they had NO interest in anything but...

      Free: 6-7' long wood pallet & 4' pallet - Portage NWI

      I have two pallets from a recent safe delivery, one is a normal pallet, probably the 42X48" size. The other one is a 6-7' long one. Needs gone this weekend, otherwise I'll be burning it to get it out of here. First come, first served (I doubt there will be competition for a pallet, but the first...

      WTS: 40mm grenade vest - NWI

      24 pocket grenade carrying vest (20 short and 4 long). I've had this forever, originally purchased thinking the pockets had bottoms so I could have a bunch of small pouches for a survival vest, but they are open bottom. Not intending to get a 37mm/40mm any time soon, its time for it to go...

      Refrigeration with Very Little Power (or No Power)

      Also, if you are considering a 120v system, a meter will be invaluable. Kill-a-wat meters are a great tool to find out how much an appliance is using. It will tell you current usage (both current as in amps drawn and current as in the watts iti s currently using) and energy over time, I think up...

      Refrigeration with Very Little Power (or No Power)

      You are right that it is pretty inefficient, but its easy and cheap to throw together. It is WAY worse than a honda EU, but its not much worse than some of the cheapie generators and it is a lower consumption alternative. You CANNOT charge a battery bank with less than a couple hours, so with...

      NWI INGO General Post - Part 8

      FYI, 20+ bricks of 550 round federal bulk pack at Portage walmart for $23 a brick as of 9am. I was one of those that sold some personal stash for a profit. I did not pick any up today... still have 10-15 bricks and haven't been doing any shooting, so why resupply yet? I'll wait until I KNOW it...

      Refrigeration with Very Little Power (or No Power)

      Why would you wait until the SHTF to acquire the propane? A small propane fridge and a 1000 gallon tank would last quite some time. You can store up to 2000 gallons residentially, a quick search showed at least one propane fridge running 1/3 of a gallon a day. A couple years worth at least...
