[@rock283]

In addition to the generator, if you look up Solar Generators. Such as a Goal Zero Yeti, they come in different sizes. Basically it's a big battery that you can run appliances on. Something like a fridge or freezer. If you lose power for an extended time, you can use solar panels or your gas generator to run appliances in the day and charge your Solar Generator and then run appliances off the Solar Generator at night. You would need to look into the wattage requirements. But, it is a cheaper option than buying a whole house generator and the fuel necessary to run it.

Hi please talk about your emergency pack that Alaskans keep in their cars.

[@tschandraheinze1680]

Alaskans or at least ->This Alaskan, we keep the same normal things as most people, jumper cables, snow scrapers, tire patches, things like that small tool kit, hats, blankets, water, I'm a mama of 5 so half my trunk is Set up in case of breaking down or getting stuck during winter in like a car accident. Snacks for the kids. That's a good video idea tho. Have a great night. Sending hellos from Anchorage Alaska Tschandra Heinze

[@nancyhope-landon9185]

We have a whole house generator that my husband felt was a must-have. Early on living in our neighborhood, the power went out often for what seemed like no reason and he was tired of it. The funny thing about the generator is since we have had it we only have used it a handful of times.

[@kathyp3494]

We also have a whole house generator in Indiana. It is mostly peace of mind because of our sump pumps in the basement.

[@nickialaskanyogi]

I remember in the early 90s we had a 4 day outage here in the valley. Young, two littles at home, we melted snow and bundled up. We didn’t have a wood stove back then either. Small home at the time. But my Jack if all trades hubby, kept us warm, he had all the emergency things to survive an Alaskan outage in the middle of winter! Funny how FBX and North Pole don’t get huge amounts! Boy we do! That’s why we have a full plow, always had for 30 years. And he plows everyone out. Good men.

[@fmillermillerf6636]

Blessings go out to you guys... I was just wondering if you guys could pray for my family my 97 year old grandpa is very sick and in the hospital... I really appreciate the prayers thank you... God bless you guys and your family hope all is well hope you guys are staying happy healthy and safe

[@maryf2964]

God bless your grandpa! ❤🙏❤

[@fairabbigailgrace]

I remember as a girl my maternal grandparents didn't have hot water in their house yet and this was the late 1970s, they didn't get it until the early '80's. My grandma raised 6 kids with no hot water, so bath and dish water was warmed on the stove top. So, if our power went out and we had to run our generator (it's similar to yours) we wouldn't have to hook up the hot water heater. There are ways to get hot water without the hot water heater. :) Take care!

[@karinjohnston4149]

What a fun video to watch. Maybe not fun for y’all but I’m in Texas, so we will never see snow like that. If we get 1-2 inches at one time, everyone panics and cleans off the shelves at the grocery store. Thank you for all you do to serve others. What a refreshing spirit in these times of chaos. You glorify our Savior!!

[@robertascholten8173]

Holy cow, happy peoples!! When winter comes to Alaska, it comes full throttle. I thought your first snow would melt, and things would look gray and barren for weeks before winter got serious. But NO. Full throttle, no holds barred. Yikey!!!!

[@terristewart6119]

I never thought much about power outages til mine was out for 5 days after major storms. This is really unusual for my area. I got very creative & much more thankful for having electricity.

[@nancystewart2063]

If you refinance your house, save that extra money and use it to buy a whole house generator. My mom was out of power for over 2 wks due to a bad ice storm. But for now fill 5 gallon buckets with water so that you can flush toilets. We are also on a well and gave a regular gas generator (bigger than yours that we can hook up to the main power line after turning off the master breaker if needed). We will use as few lights as possible and will hook up the freezer for an hour or so and then the fridge. You can also cook on your gas grill. If it's really cold you can take stuff out of the fridge and put them in ice chests filled with snow.

[@RadioNest]

For water ... check out a WaterBob. Put it in the tub and make a 100 gallon storage container.

[@liyaarcher8239]

A good emergency car kit for alaska includes: Flares, an extra blanket. Always bring good warm boots and snowsuits kept in the car just in case of a break down at 40 below. Jumper cables. A lighter and pack of matches. Water. Granola bars. Jerky. A knife. Seatbelt cutter should be kept under the front seat. Flashlight. A battery pack and charger for cell phones. A Delorum if your in a poor cell service area. Some areas have no cell service at all and that can be very dangerous in the winter if you break down in a less trafficked area.

Two of my Dads favorite expressions were, "I've worked hard, it's time for McDonalds." And "If lunch isnt ready, I'm going to McDonalds."

[@erinrenee1129]

Hello from a hurricane-prone area! My Dad wired an 11,000-watt portable generator (dual fuel - gasoline or propane, electric start) to his house. It'll run the lights, fridge, hot water tank, and stove. Basically, everything except the central air conditioning. The well has its own 5500-watt generator. We usually keep non-ethanol gas on hand at all times - it can always go into our cars. Gas lines can be up to 2 miles long here after a storm. Portable battery packs for charging phones is pretty handy. The longest we've lost power is over 3 weeks post-Katrina. Tropical storms can knock out power for about 3 days.

[@nancycoman410]

I live in a rural area of northern az. We had our first snow the other night, loved it. We are off the grid, solar, wind and have a large generator for when there is no sun to fill the batteries. Its wired into the house so we just flip a switch in the house. We never known when the electricity is off in town. I feel blessed to live off grid. Love your channel, it's so wholesome.

[@shirleyjjohnston5469]

I can’t even count how many hurricanes I’ve got ready for! This year many hurricanes but we were blessed only rain and more rain and storms went around us.

[@ajborys]

The beginning of this vlog is amazing. I thought man, it feels like walking in a winter wonderland. When it's hurricane season for us Texans, my parents made the smart decision to get a generator back when I was in middle school (a good 15-20 years ago). There was few times where we had to use the generator to help power the fridge and few other things.

[@amethystphoenix264]

Generators are so helpful We gotbours as an immediate necessity this year after a storm. Ten days without power. A life saver. Love the snowfall. A great video.

LoL I love it when it snows like that, I remember the winter of 93/94 very little snow people had their septics pumped during the summer so the ground froze and septic tanks popped up out of the ground it was like -50 for couple of weeks it was cold, I worked for Everts air cargo back then. I remember when the power was out for a day because of ice on the power lines. You guys are really making me homesick LoL.

I'm glad to see that you have prepared with backup it's a great idea . After Iowa's inland hurricane this summer and having no electricity on average for 10 to 14 days long term is not a bad idea , never thought we would have it here in our state like that.

[@brendabaird2000]

I grew up in Kansas so I’m very familiar with ice, snow and cold but I’ve also been wheelchair bound my entire life and doesn’t mix well with ice or snow. I now live in Phoenix and do not miss it at all. If I ever do want to see the changing colors of the trees in the fall or even the snow I just have to go north a couple hours then when I’ve had enough I’m not to far from the warmer weather.

[@irenedavo3768]

brenda baird hello

[@2010DanaA]

I just bought a Honda 3000is for my parents. Spendy small generator BUT it has an inverter so is good for electronics, has an electric start (good if you are old), and is very fuel efficient. I can remember a big blizzard (probably 10 years ago) where electricity was out for 1-2 weeks even in towns. That meant pumps at fuel stations didn’t run...so people were running out of fuel...so a really fuel efficient generator became a must for me.

[@Mama4d8]

We're experiencing record heat in Ohio. Had a couple of freezing nights so daughter is still in winter mode. Funny seeing her leave for work in almost 80 degree weather in a heavy coat. I'm like Katie, it's really warm out. She says well it's cold in the mornings. Lol, she's barely awake and grumpy.

[@wesleywebber9885]

Its funny you say its warm with 8-10 inches or more of snow and 18 degrees out. The snow does help insulate the ground but not the bones. Have a blessed week Somers family.

[@lanadixon1822]

We are in SC on a well so we know about that problem. Our power will go out for ice storms and snow and hurricanes so we have some notice. The longest we have been without power was 36 hours. We keep some 5 gallon gas cans full of water in our garage for flushing toilets and usually eight 24 packs of water for drinking and cooking. But, when a storm is coming we fill bath tubs and everything in the garage that can be filled with water such as 5 gallon buckets. We fill those outside on the driveway with the hose. If we have a long term outage we have a small woodstove that we can bring in and run a stove pipe up the chimney but we have never had to use it in the 20 years we have had it.

I've lived off grid in Trapper Creek Alaska for 22 years now. My troy built 3500watt ran my cabin for 10 years. I ordered cheap solar panels from harbor freight and now I can get internet access. I still run a generator in winter when the clouds won't give us a break. I have a 2600watt Yamaha now because of the 3 year warranty. My sister ran hers(same generator as mine) for 4 years daily!!! All day everyday. You can buy nice gas pumps now on the internet that transfers the fuel from can to tank without the spillage. They are easy to use and only need a couple of batteries to run it.

[@maureenbullock6297]

I love in Florida and we have a lot of stuff like you for hurricane season. The only difference is we buy small window ACs that can run off the generators because it is so hot after a hurricane hits. I love seeing y'all playing in the snow. Great family time!

[@ionecuff6323]

So funny seeing the grass under the trampoline!! I know you all will be having lots of fun now, especially the kids on the snowmobile and sled. I take it you're sister's wedding will be in Arizona, so unless it is up North, you won't be seeing snow here. It was 71 deg. for the high here today and will be in the mid to upper 70s the rest of the week. I'll trade ya!! LOL! God Bless You All!! Keep warm and stay safe on those slippery roads!!

We're in upstate NY I always told my husband we don't need a generator. The power always came back on most of the time no longer than 10 hours in the winter. This summer we went 3 days no power from high winds taking down lines. No water was the hardest thing to me . Can't flush can't shower. Guess what we brought each other for our anniversary?

At the cabin we don't have power at all and always had the smaller generators and a propane range and water heater but this year converted to solar and it's a game changer. I would love to convert the house to solar as well at some point.

[@ashleyaschliman6855]

It's snowing as we speak in northern Utah, but it probably won't stick until a little later this month. We don't need to do any specific preparations for snow where we live in our rural community, but we try to be quick on plowing and shoveling afterwards so no one slips. The roads get sketchy and people don't drive carefully. That's the worst part of winter.

Watching y'all slogging through all that snow, and I had to go check our current temps here in Houston, Texas. 70 degrees at 10pm. Tomorrow's high is 82. And there you are, hip deep in snow. Oh, and gulf coast folk know generators are key to surviving hurricane season. Just had subdepression Theta form in the Atlantic, so we're not in the clear yet. We have a window a/c for one of our rooms. Gennie is good enough to power everything except the central a/c, but relief from the heat is critical here. We were 3 weeks without power after hurricane Harvey, 2 weeks without after Rita, and even lost power for 3 days after tropical storm Imelda last year. Gotta be ready for the long haul.

There’s a solar generated you can get from 4 Patriots power generator you can run in the house safely. It’s less than $4000

I live in Albuquerque, NM and 2 week ago we got 10 1/2 inches of snow. We do not normally get that much for the whole winter. It was nice to have snow for once.

Hello SmersinAlaska family. I dont know exactly how much snow fall you received in total but we just got the same system that dumped all that snow you just got here in Edmonton and by the time it's done, we will have received about a foot of snow. love your vlog stay warm, keep safe, and be happy. You're Canadian neighbours. Elvis & Susan Kyle.

Down here in New Orleans area, we just lost power for 3 days from a hurricane, we have been out for a week before. We have a pretty strong generator we use to power our fridge, a lamp, tv, dvd player, and a fan.

A Winter Wonderland of snow! I laughed when I saw Bert ( Rudolph) pulling the "Sled" around the yard to make a track for it to run on! I feel bad for all of the snowplowing that has started already for you tho!
