Sorry for the tardy reply. Part one is still on the channel. The initial disassembly is sped up, but it is basic clamshell construction, which needs just a small Phillips head screwdriver. Part one includes in the title why weather radios are important in Oklahoma. Feel free to contact me if you need some further information.

I love this. I’m such an arachnophobe, but my daughter loves tarantulas and has several. She has taught me that these oversized nightmares are really quite docile and interesting. We now go tarantula hunting in the fall where we live. And while they still creep me out I have a huge appreciation for them and what they do to our ecosystem.

2020jeep Compass Trailhawk, have these trail terrain tires. Coffee farm 4x4 roads. I am NOT impressed. Lost of mileage’s 2+ and many times more..Very little traction when going off road…I also own a Tacoma and Tundra both 4x4 with BFGs All Terrains..these are a better tires if you do lots off roading.. Trail Terrains maybe better for very light off roading..

Nice overview of the lineup. I don't really want lithium 18650 / lithium cylinder cell anything as they can be a volatile fire hazard that can't even be put out with water or by smothering. That rules out the big rechargeable and the little one. For anyone reading this I am well aware that these Lithium batteries are in my cell phone and laptop. The difference is the cell phone and laptop are expensive and have smarter battery monitoring. My phone once would not allow me to charge it as it was too hot for example. Simple applications like lanterns don't have the same level of software monitoring. I might go for 4 of the AA Siege Lantern and a 24 pack of rechargeable Eneloops that will be extra set of batteries for each lantern. That will be a lot of redundancy and still have money left over to get a ProTac 1L1AA in comparison to buying two of the larger rechargeable Siege! I figure I can run the 4 AA lanterns at the 100 lumen medium setting for total 400 lumens so that will be enough to give good room lighting for power outages and conserve battery life. I have a decent portable solar panel for phone/AA battery charging using a Fenix Are-D2 smart charger.
@okiedokieexplorers 4 ай бұрын
I am not familiar with the fenex charger. We have got a Lion charger and have been happy with it. You're right, the lithium fire risk is there, but the proof is in the pudding as these batteries have NEVER given me cause for concern. Alkaline batteries are consistently leaking and ruining things. Testimony for Streamlight also, they warranty replaced a AA when it was just a leaking battery damage when they didn't have to. Streamlight is an awesome brand and I highly recommend. Thanks for watching.
@jeffgendron1959 4 ай бұрын
@@okiedokieexplorers Alkaline are terrible, I've lost some electronics to leaking batteries also. Streamlight is great. I have a ProTac 1L 1AA and I like it so much I want another one. I have about 15 AA pocket flashlights from years of collecting. That one and the Convoy T3 in stonewashed titanium are my 2 favorites for single AA pocket carry. Fenix E20 V2.0 is also amazing for a 2AA flashlight with the most compact size and efficient circuit I've seen for the 2AA category. Fenix is a great brand also making premium products. The reason I like that charger is that it's got voltage on the display and 3 selections for charging current as I usually charge Eneloops slower to match what Panasonic recommends and also it's micro USB so I can use it with my solar panel. I've been using Panasonic Eneloops after trying EBL brand and had some fail in a short time. Eneloops seem to be the best for AA and AAA. I do have my Lithium devices stored in a metal cabinet that is on metal legs off the floor so at least if they do spray fire it's enclosed to not set the house on fire! One thing I learned recently is that Lithium/ion and LiFePO4 18650 batteries vent a lot of unhealthy toxic gas if they catch fire or vent. So if that ever happens get out side as soon as you can for fresh air.

@okiedokieexplorers 8 ай бұрын
I've watched other KZbin people purify their water, and the manufacturer says it will too. We haven't had the need as yet, and any purification needed shortens the filter life expectancy. We've been using the cube a lot lately travelling and not worried about lead pipes, or the last time off grid motels had their well water tested. Thanks for watching.

USGS (United States Geological Survey) Map and a ordinary map compass or a lensatic compass would serve you very well out in Northwestern or Southwestern Okra-Homer-better than GPS as many of the abandoned towns don't have GPS coordinates. I've ridden my motorcycles tens of thousands of miles out west of Lavern LONG before GPS existed! Paper maps and a compass and an odometer were my "navigational aids". Before US 412 was 412, I used to hammer-along the two-lane OK 3 all the way to Black Mesa and to Clayton, NM. I took my 1966 Honda 305 Scrambler up the dirt trail to Black Mesa and up to the highest point in Okra-Homer on top of it. I remember when Boise City no longer had a filling station after the ONE in town burned! You either made Clayton or pushed after Guymon! I tooted around Sublette, KS and up to Liberal and into the corner of Colorado on dirt or gravel roads at MAYBE 25-35 MPH! My OK State Highway map doesn't show anymore the tiny wide-place-in-the-road in extreme SE Colorado now. The US Postal Service has abandoned lots of those places Post Offices in local stores, and the "town names" died with that. A BNSF and UP railroad map is very useful out in the Panhandle too, for finding "siding names" that were actual "townships" 100+ years ago. The "Dust Bowl" literally "blew-away" many "farming towns, especially West of I-35. I made it from Tussa all the way to Aird-Zona on pieces of Route 66. The bridges that are gone mean lots of jogging and back-tracking.
