Power outages are a nuisance at best and life threatening at their worst. Imagine the power going out for weeks or months. Are you equipped to survive on your own? Can you run well pumps, refrigerators, medical equipment, your Ham radios? Take the challenge with me. Survive at home, no power for 48 hours and find out where you really stand against SHTF.
Join me every Saturday morning at 0900 hrs mountain time for the Southern Idaho Preparedness Net. This is the net where we learn about personal preparedness for emergencies, disasters & SHTF & train to become the news, information and situational reporting sources in our communities.
Locally in the Idaho Magic Valley on the K6UDA repeater 444.500, Hansen Butte 2M 145.170 or KB7DFP 442.000. You can get on from anywhere in the world using:

That motor home is a superb backup in more ways than one .

@EuropaChronicles

Doing a 24-72 hour power outage drill is extremely eye opening, especially if you do it when it’s not beautiful and sunny outside to keep the solar “generator” topped off.

Superstorm Sandy was our literal event that got us into prepping. We were fine since we had a wood stove to heat our home and food, and our stuff could be recharged with our vehicles with an inverter. However, it was very inconvenient. It's why I'm going 5v USB on almost everything. Just having a bunch of USB battery banks available with solar panels to recharge 12v batteries and along with solar generators will pick up most of the electronic aspects. Even our flashlights, hand warmers, radios, etc. can be recharged via USB.

Prior to Hurricane Sandy, we were on a intermittent grid here in SE PA. I made a solar panel and attached it to a deep cycle AGM battery, which worked great for short term outages. I ordered a generator right before Sandy hit, and we used the battery for 2 days until the generator arrived for TV and lights. Since then I've gotten a bigger generator and installed a xfer switch. We haven't lost power since, but it's good to have it all.

Generator, solar panels etc. So in ten Mile Tennessee our power goes out from time to time. Some is scheduled outages of TVA and volunteer electric cooperative. Other times it is trees falling on power lines or autos driven into power poles.

@pamalacrabtree1727

Up to 6 solar storms predicted this evening and tomorrow.

@CpuFixrMan

I do have portable solar/battery power for small things like comms and network, but have a generator for the refrigerator. Fortunately, I don't have medical power needs.

Renewable energy power failure.

@tracy3350

I installed that very switch about a year ago. I use an EcoFlow with 600 watts of solar panels. Works great!!

@randylehey8636

The transfer box is so nice to have.

Aloha Bob, I do several nets on this subject every year just before our yearly hurricane season. A lot of people listen and agree but still do not do what it takes to be prepared.
