A power station that can fit any budget...Grecell T-300

[@southernprepper1]

amzn.to/3QPWgiB Grecell T-300 A good option for those on a budget. Lightweight unit that can power a small fan and a light by using the DC plugs. If you are in the market for a power station please email me at [e-mail] so I can help you pick out the best one for you. There are many options out there and picking the right one for YOU is important.

In theroy, all I'd need to do is splice that connector to cables running off a battery bank of 12 lead acid batteries that are hooked to a solar panel and solar charger? This is passive. Thanks. I only need 500 watts for a furnace. It helps to have a usb 5" fan for the metal flue pipe too to keep it from getting hot the cement board does the job at the joist. blower 51 watts and 321 watts circulator window fan screwed to joist uses 35-54 watts the usb 5" will proably use less. Currently it was tested with a 700 everstart inverter and lead battery it ran for 2.5 hours for the blower and circulator. I'm not sure how much an oil boiler hot water circulator uses, but in an emergency it'd take about 20-30 minutes to heat a house for a couple of hours on one circulation to set wall temp on an oil boiler. Either way, with gas and oil price it's cheaper to run it with somekind of battery until ppl is back on unless it's more than 8 hours. 5 gallons of gas for 8 hours vs how many charges out of batteries.

[@PAIsIllegal]

It's possible to scrape around to find the cheapest parts to do an hho gas mod to a gas generator too. a cheaper deep cycle gel battery for example to charge it

[@PAIsIllegal]

@Timothy Mckee Yes. A lot of kits include the car adapter in the kits in this unit it'd be an output as I said I'd need to aligator clip the input he's showing to an existing bank as in put. I've seen some go bank, ups, into an inveter this is the same thing except replaces the ups and inverter in one unit.

[@PAIsIllegal]

@Timothy Mckee There's different ways to daisey chain the solar panels too.

[@PAIsIllegal]

@Timothy Mckee $5.29 x 55 gallons (18 days at 3 gallons a day in winter) that's $290.95. No way. Go broke. $575 a month!!!!

There are many things to do without spending a dime. Here is what I've learned... 1. Unplug everything to see what's absolutely needed & only use when needed. 2. Began to use up fridge/freezer foods, transitioning to shelf-stable only. That alone will save up to $50/mo. to not run fridge, plus avoid losing frig/freezer food during power outage. 3. Learn to live without heat or A/C to practice. If you have to use A/C to stay alive, get used to warmer temps by gradually raising thermostat. Ditto for heat, using extra layers of clothes & moving to a smaller room or tent within a room. Go smaller. *Don't bother with heat or candles at night for safety since you can get under covers.* I practiced all this during 2° in Texas ice storm. Not perfect, but works. 4. Heating ideas are many. Many know the "two upside down clay pots over a few small candles on a heat proof surface" method. Many KZbins with helpful comments. A cheap long-lasting candle is to put Crisco in a glass jar with homemade wick made from dipping twine into wax. KZbin's on this too. Use hot water bottle tucked clothes, cold in summer, warm in winter. Use a thermal wrap usually in WM sports dept for $10 to keep core heat in. 5. To cook off grid, put fuel can (like sterno), in oven with lid half ajar with thinist 2 qt pot on shelf over that & loose foil around all. Light for about 2 hours while getting ready for bed, then tap lid all the way on to put out the now half-full fuel can, quickly closing oven, leaving it warm all night to finish cooking. Season when eating to keep smelling down since will be panic when food runs out. Half cup each beans, rice, flour, filling pot rest of way with water will keep you fed for a day, averaging $73 a year. Enhance as able, but this can be your base (with a multivitamin). Note pinto beans take 2 hours, but lentils 20 minutes, so lentils better due to coming fuel shortage. Once people start to scavenge the countryside, even twigs may be hard to find. 6. For water, store as much as possible. Keep water purification methods for when that runs out. Locate water sources nearby to purify, to drink, not to bathe or clean (other methods for that). 7. For light, try to get things done during day, but keep small candle to use only when needed at night, *not to leave burning. Sleep at night & work during day. 8. To bathe, keep small jar with tbsp of liquid peppermint soap from Walmart (the cheaper version of Dr Bonners) or cheapest dishwashing liquid you can find with clean rag & water. Have separate small jar with teaspoon of bleach & water to store rag in when not in use. Fill both with water. Wipe head to toe with peppermint rag squeezed out, never re-dipping into soapy jar, just tipping a little out onto the rag when needed. A wet wipe cut in half (to stretch supplies out) for personal area, then throw away. Several who live in RVs have used this for years & wouldn't go back to regular showers. For hair, use peppermint soap in squeeze bottle sparingly & leaving in to save water, or dry-shampoo with cornstarch or baby powder. 9. For self-defense without a gun, if one is unattainable, use Home-Alone style resources, like stacking totes in front of door if in an RV that swings outward, or pushing heavy furniture against regular door. Alarms are cheap at Dollar Tree. Keep a whistle around neck. Even if no one is around to hear, it can still cause intruder to flee. Have cups of marbles near entrances to make it impossible to walk & learn to shuffle through them yourself. Give no appearance of wealth or preps. Wear plain clothes, using no jewelry. Place knives in sheaths around which are cheap at Dollar Tree & Walmart. Practice technique. Pepper spray for outside, pepper gel inside. Learn how to hold in air to spray while ducking & quickly stepping aside, to avoid their made lunge forward. Use motion detector lights by entrances. You get the idea & may think of many more. 10. Barter. Separate out anything you don't actually need, but only show 1-2 items at a time, perhaps leaving these outside in hidden spot. Never open door. Never hint of having more. Negotiate from a window opened only enough to talk. Once they show you what they plan to barter (assuming communication down), have them put it by door, then reveal the hidden spot. Even if they steal & run, after saying they would leave something, you've only lost one or two items. Constantly vary hiding spot. There may be better ways to do this, but you get the idea. Always ask if they know anywhere you can get food or water because you are almost out. 11. For bathroom, double line 3-5 gal bucket, putting opt. sawdust or kitty litter in bottom. Bury. These are basic beginning ideas to get you started thinking of better ones.

I LIKE this little unit! My personal needs are a bit more than this can produce, but for folks whose needs are minimal and don't have a lot of funds, I would definitely recommend this thing as well. I design and build these systems myself, so I have no need for one of these. I tend to build mine in Pelican or Harbor Freight Hard Cases for durability. The one I JUST built day before yesterday was a bit of a departure from what I normally do. I bought the $39.95 Harbor Freight case, Built a MINI Solar Generator inside of it using a 148 Watt Hour Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery, a Powerwerx 10 Amp Solar Charge Controller Mounted on the inside wall of the case, all the switching is on the outside of the box-Charge Controller controls, a DUAL 3 Amp usb socket, and a standard 12 VDC Cig Plug for 12 Volt in/out applications. I included an external Miniature sized 100 Watt AC Inverter. This formed the Heart of what is now my new EMCOMM Kit. I had JUST enough room left for TWO Ham Walkie Talkies, a Yaesu FT-4 and a Yaesu VX-6. I also have ALL of the various application Antennas I need for BOTH Radios. I opted for the FT-4, because it was an EASY MARS /CAP Mod. I went with the VX-6 because it gives me 220 Mhz. in addition to 2 Meter & 440 Mhz. It also holds Two Batteries for Each Radio and a drop in Charge Cradle for each. The Owner's Manuals fit vey neatly in the top of the case, and I have an External ALL-POWERS 100 Watt Fold up Solar Panel to charge it in remote areas. So, with the wall chargers as well, I can charge the system from AC, my vehicle, OR Solar. In the next few days, I hope to send SP-1 some photos of my home built Portable.

It only has 85 watts, but you also get the lights, 3 of them, and the solar panel - all for about $56 last time I checked. I may also purchase this unit and thanks for showing it to us.

Great video to inform others of options on preparing. Keep up the good work. Small power stations such as these can be quite versatile if used properly. It's no Jackery or Ecoflow but its a start. I have a GoLabs R300 in my work truck which I use to run a couple of rechargeble USB fans, a USB string light, and keep my cellphone & FRS radio charged when I cannot idle. Fuel too expensive. I recharge by lighter port or a 60w folding solar panel. I have a similar setup in my garden/work shed. Rockpals 300 with a used 100w rigid solar panel for $35 to power it up. I use it for lights, USB 5v ceiling fan and recharging my 18v batteries for my power tools. It can easily be adapted for living in a car, Vanlife, Boondocking, camping, limited Off-Grid ... just make sure you have USB or DC items since they have minimum power draw.

I took one of my lamps and converted it to run of 12v by putting in a 12v bulb that you might find in an RV. I did not damage the cord, I took a cheap extension cord and cut off the female end, attached a barrel plug pigtail that can plug into the power station. It stays by the lamp, with the lamp plugged in. If the power goes out I just need to turn on the lamp. I can then charge my phone or tablet as needed. If I wanted, I could modify the lamp on the other side of the sofa as well. Running one or two 12v lights is nothing for these units. All the modifications can be removed in a matter of minutes.

I make a little air tunnel to get air in the covers to keep my head under them too..Works great. For day, I use the two upside down clay pots on a fireproof surface over candles (experimenting with this now). I also drink hot liquids like tea and move around to generate heat. Hope this helps!

I literally just bought one of these a couple of weeks ago.

Thanks looking for something low weight because I probably will have to bug out to a park or similar location. Also on a lower income level.

Would love to see a video on e bikes . Would especially like you to dive into the tactical aspect and the capabilities of using it in a reconnaissance role.

Would like to know what to purchase to solar power my e-bike.

[@johnstevenperez4186]

@@joann8653 Just need to know your battery size and how much your willing to wait to recharge it.

[@bradleyshane162]

Marbero has great deals too, very comparable.

great content

I don't understand any of how any of this works. If you still have to buy a generator to make that machine work, what does that machine do??? I don't understand any of this, including the ac and dc and inverter and generator and how all those things relate to the machine featured here and how it keeps things running. Am I the only one who is completely lost about all this alternative power we need if the grid goes down??? I just don't get it and the more I read and research and watch tons of videos, the more confused I get.

Send me a email to [e-mail] and we can set up a time to talk on the phone. Easier to explain talk compared to typing.

Can it brew a cup of coffee from coffee maker ?

I have an O2Cool fan that runs on D batteries. It is small and inexpensive.

[@robertmiller5735]

cool

[@PAIsIllegal]

It's nuts. In PA an oil boiler uses 3 gallons a day on winter setting. If you put it on summer setting in winter you'd think it'd burn less but it actually burns 5 gallons a day then and uses more. winter setting burn hotter in less time.

Thank you SP1

[@edwest7035]

im watching this review 1 year after you made it, how is it working now ?? im thinking of getting one..

[@reddirtgirl308]

I need something to run my nebulizer.

[@rudyorpington3152]

Did you know you can use a foot operated bicycle pump to run a breathing treatment as long as you have someone to do the pumping? It is exhausting to pump that long, but with two people, it works well. The tubing portion that attaches to the machine would instead be put on the pump hose. We now keep one in our vehicle.--Brenda
