My propane heater advice, . . .propane alarms: Two is one, one is none. I had a leak and my one alarm didn't sound, its threshold being too high to detect a small leak, but large enough to make me very sick. I now have 2 alarms and so far, so good. Propane sickness was the worst, and can kill.

To make your fridge more efficient if your freezer is empty, freeze containers of water to take up the empty space. The unit should not have to run as long because the frozen water helps maintain the temperature.

I don't own a Honda but do have a Predator that I run in a shed. The greatest worry is carbon monoxide. I solved that by running a steel pipe from directly in front of the exhaust through a hole in the wall to the outside. It's worked well for the last few years. Of course, you need to design the hole with heat in mind as that pipe does heat up quite a bit.

Check out Simple Living Alaska about Honda generator. They are the experts now 🤔
@BLAM7773 сағат бұрын
Watch off grid with Jay and Jen. They go into detail about what they use to run their place. I ended up getting a champion duel fuel generator, which we run off propane. We can change laptops, phones and stuff like that on it. Never had any problem with it. Don't get a Westinghouse. Nothing but problems and zero customer support.

the Simple Living Alaska you tube channel has the exact same honda generator and generators like the other one they go through allot of problems with the cold . they have one video where they cover all the common problems with freezing. the best thing they did was to make a insulated box they put over the generator when running outside and would store it inside when not in use. might want to watch the video because he shows common parts problems with the honda generator

I saw another couple build a small insulated box to put their generators outside to store and run them. Need to build exhaust port obviously but seemed to work well. As for the cooking situation anything with a heating coil like that air fryer eats electricity like a Filipino eats ice cream LOL. My wife is Filipino as well and seeing Eleinne light up at the mention of ice cream was adorable :) So I highly doubt there will be much air fryer cooking without the generator running this winter. Good luck we are rootin for ya

American and Canadian videos made me very curious about that pressure treated wood. But as far as I understand it, chemicals are pressed into the wood, which are banned in Europe because they are simply unhealthy. Is that right?

Yes, they use chemicals. The CCA types banned in Europe were also banned in the US a few years before England banned them. Which was over 20 years ago.

Here's a little idea for your zipper problem. I have a pop-up camper that has lots of zippers on it. And some of them can cause you some grief, especially the one with the awning 1 day packing up to come home. The zipper for the awning got stuck. We could not get it closed. So we used spray cooking oil. Spray it on the zipper and you would not believe how much easier it is to open and close.
