What are your hacks when the electricity goes out
It’s blowin like a sumbitch in western Kansas and our electricity just went out. What are your hacks?
We run as much water as we can in the tub and use a 5 gallon bucket to pour in the top of the toilet for usage.
We have LED lights that are always plugged in and automatically go on when the electricity goes off. They are handy flashlights too.
It’s cold so the garage makes a huge walk in freezer.
Everyone adds layers of clothes.
I am soon buying a big generator and a MM plug-in to plug into my 220 volt plug in. Must turn the main breaker off so no electricity gets backed down the line and kills some poor lineman !

You guys?

Transformers blowing were 4th I think.
I could see that

I once cooked a can of ravioli over a scented candle during an extended power outage because of an ice storm.

Whatever you do, don't do that.

I've only done it once but it took about 6 hours to get from 10% to full charge. I drained the charger down to zero when I first got it and then it sat for a few days before I tried to recharge it from the wall outlet and it never would take a charge. Had to send it back and have it reset which took about 3 months turn around.

The instructions say Not to let it go to zero so now I know. That was disappointing.

Would NOT buy this model again

Doh, I wouldn't have thought of that either.

My brother was telling me about this unit a few months back, I think he bought it but not sure.

20+ years ago, I got a wild hair on my ass. I was about 30 and wanted to go to the wide open places. I got a job as the public defender in a remote Alaska town and just fell in love with the place. Through work, I’ve been all over this state, from Kotzebue to Kodiak to Ketchikan and most points in between.

One Alaska Supreme Court justice wrote in 1975 that, essentially, many of our citizens come here seeking a degree of freedom and autonomy over their own lives that is just not available in sister states. And that’s true. This place is as much a state of mind as it is a physical place.

Where is the most beautiful AK place where you live in 2024? Thinking about moving to AK. Is it possible to have both mountains and water views?
