So in this thread I'm going to be sharing lots of tips and tricks on survival prep tactics from making your own water filtration system to building out an entire solar backup system with a propane to solar backup
it may come in handy because, from where I sit, on the front lines of the cybersecurity landscape things are really starting to heat up. I'm being called in multiple times a day to help victims of cyberattacks and it's only a matter of time before one of these attacks gets through to the power grid.
In fact, knowing our gov I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if they purposefully left the cyber doors wide open for such an attack.
So first tip.
Making fire.
Go to dollar tree and get yourself a couple of 9 volt batteries and some packages of steel wool. Store them way from each other of course. you can start a good fire with the battery coming in contact with the steel wool.
and while you're at the dollar tree also pick up some lighters and books of matches
So Bigly, when you set up a solar panel system, does the homeowner need to hook into a digital network?
I thought that was the purpose of solar panels, to avoid being on the grid so you can make your own energy.
Or do state regulations require that solar home owners be hooked into electrical grid?

All the modern electricity is digital.
Analog electricity is obsolete.
Digital electricity... I'll have to drink about that...
There are dozens of ways to make fire. Practice as many as you can.

People need to get with the program as shit cannot continue like this for much longer.
On the front lines in the cybersecurity space I'm seeing it first hand. Infiltrations left and right. I've never, in my 28 year career seen as much hacking activity globally as I am seeing right now. I'm literally working 7 days a week right now

And they would be wise to remain that way. EMP is a very real possibility

One that has an obvious limitation (needs sunlight) but is otherwise reliable and infinitely reusable is a small magnifying glass. Even a broken piece of glass bottle might do in a pinch but magnifying glasses are cheap, portable, and work a treat.

Ferro rods are a must, or at least a flint and steel. Problem with ferro rods though are they're prone to disintegration if used and stored for a big spell.
At this point I feel sorry for people who live in larger cities.
It's going to be complete anarchy
I've got the popcorn and whiskey ready for that.
That's some George Carlin level entertainment. :popcorn:

I already got a flint and steel. I also know where the spring that feeds my pond is. And I got a basement full of "necessities."
I'm good. ;)

I'm building my own water filtration system. Couple of home depot buckets some pvc piping -- some screen door mesh, cotton balls, coffee filters, charcoal, sand, gravel and and some garden hoses is all I need. I got a 12 volt bilge pump that works off a single 100watt solar panel and an old car battery + a 20 dollar charge controller. It pumps 1500 gph. 15 bucks.
That Olympic size swimming pool less than 50 ft from my kitchen is is nearly 50,000 gallons of drinking water if shit really hits the fan and I cannot power my well by any of the other mechanisms I have. Plus it's an excellent rain catch.
And if that fails me for any reason there's a full lake about less than 200 yards away which is adjacent to my property. I have enough garden hose to get there.

I know your area. I don't know how much it's been built up since I was down that way, but you should be able to dig down 6 or 7 feet and get viable fresh water. You have to filter it, of course, but the aquifer is really close to the surface there.

I swear this woman I'm with is a damn comedian
She's on the phone with my sister-in-law and when sis asks for me she says 'child he right here in the yard building his little end of the world club house'

My bourbon drinking writer says we are fucked anyway and goes into horrific detail about how the shit would go down in reality.
And he is very offended by my desire to move into bumfuck nowhere and live in a Yurt lol.
He calls me his "little dumb country mouse" and a hippie. He has been calling me that forever though so it's not new. Everytime he bitches about too many people on the road I cock my eyebrow at him and he says "But I ain't shittin in a hole in the woods!" Lol.. I've tried to explain composting toilets and I just get a bunch of horrified grunts out of him.
He doesn't obey MI stupid gun storage laws and if someone broke in here at night he could grab the gun (a .44 mag.Ruger in the night stand) and have it ready in ten seconds. And it was always very important to him that I always had a gun and knew how to shoot it and clean it. It's so fucking hot that it makes up for his very suburbinized mentality.
He did buy a bunch of literal tubs of survival food and I've talked him into a generator that cam run at LEAST enough power for AC and fridge and basics. And he has taken steps to protect all his assets so....thats good. So far so good.
I'm working on him. My ridiculous hotness does 98 percent of my convincing for me lol.

Good food and good blow jobs will make a man agree to anything
Quote from: Biggie Smiles on November 05, 2023, 05:57:12 PMGood food and good blow jobs will make a man agree to anything
He does 95 percent of the cooking and the grocery shopping. Well...we both grocery shop from his tablet in the bed and then go pick it up lol.
But I have this certain look I can get in my eye that he calls devilish and he absolutely cannot resist it. Never has yet.
It's the reason he got out of bed at 3am to bail me out of jail when I was 22 lol.
Didn't even ask what I did until after he bailed me and we were on our way to his house and he was like "So wait why were you in jail?" Lol.
I'm cooking tonight because his ankle got messed up. I mean if I want to cook I just tell him but he likes to plan out meals by the week so ...who am I to stop him?
Blow jobs :drunk2:

I'll ask my relative about the particulars, Prowler.
She's an electrical engineer and installs solar panels for a living.
Simply put I'd like to find out if a person can install solar panels in a home and NOT hook them up to a grid.
In which case there's no danger of them getting hacked into and shutting them down or disrupting their flow of power.
but I'll ask her
She certainly knows more than you Prowler.
So if you lie about the particulars of solar power or don't know what you're talking about I'll find out, eh?
So don't lie Prowler or attempt to. LOL

So if I need to find out technical details about Electrical Engineering or Neurology I can consult either of them.

While I'm aware that not all homosexuals like yourself are any of the above, I'm still very homphobic, Thiel. That's one reason I intend to move out of Vancouver. It's probably more your kinda city tho.
Given the social attitudes of folks like Biggie Smiles or Lokmar, I'm surprised that you are allowed to post here at all.
From what I've read, neither of them think you are eligible to go to heaven. And Lokmar equates homosexuality with the Devil.
Right Wing people are generally not very tolerant of your kind Thiel.

Likewise, I read that Bruce/Caitlan Jenner in the USA was very disappointed with the Republican Party after they wouldn't accept him/her. Jenner should really join the Democrats since they accept your kind as well.
In your case, you should be cheering for and Joining the Left leaning parties and not the Right, Thiel.
The NDP is very intolerant of gay men that aren't socialist Jo Jo. You know that Hon.

Unlike Lokmar or Biggie Smiles, I tolerate homosexuals such as yourself but I'm still a homophobe and don't believe in your lifestyle, Thiel.
Homos should be allowed to exist but not redefine marriage or our society. But they've given you people a blank cheque to do whatever your want and I think that's wrong.
For example when gay marriage was legalized, they should have made it a separate institution from traditional marriage and not merged the 2. And now people like Dove and Erica Mena are screaming bloody murder cuz the trans types threaten to redefine women.
There should have been a separate and equal clause rather than pushing social Marxism on the rest of us.
I'm sorry if that offends you but that's the way I see it.
I understand Jo Jo. You are nervous about being with a conservative man. I promise, I will be gentle.

I think our ground water would be equal to USA BUT I wouldn't drink either. You still have to treat rain water with boiling because birds and cats shit on roofs...
