Re: Solar panel bargain...
I've been doing a bit of reading because of this thread, about adding in a solar panel bought later - it sounds like the new panel has to be the same wattage as the existing panel. It *can* be different, but that needs extra care etc etc taken, and it seems much simpler to just get a panel at the s...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 11

I am sitting watching a show about Russian rural workers,and they live primitively compared to our *technology* but they live rather well! All day the room I have sat in has had open fresh air,is ...
