How I handle an unexpected power outage during a workday in the tiny house.

We got a windstorm this week and I lost power to the tiny house in the middle of a work day...actually in the middle of a Zoom meeting.
Luckily I have a plan in place to handle that. I plugged my internet modem and my computer hub into my Bluetti AC50B which is a 700 watt power station (full disclosure, Bluetti sent it to me but my opinions are mine) and was able to get back up and running in less than 5 minutes.
If I had been paying attention to my weather app I'd have had everything already plugged into it and then the power station plugged into the wall so I would have been able to continue working uninterrupted when the power went down.
The Bluetti, like many battery power stations, has pass-through charging which means you can be using it while you charge it and it can switch from wall power to batter power so fast that you don't even notice it let alone get shut down.
I also show what I keep ready to go for water and lights so that I'm good when the grid goes down.
I've make other videos about being prepared that you can find in the preparedness playlist. I just wanted to give you a real look at what I do when the grid goes down when I'm not expecting it.
Hope you enjoy the video. If you do, please give it a thumbs up and share it with someone you think might find it useful.
Love you guys!

Sophie doesn't know you're not talking to her. She doesn't know cameras. She is so loving and kind. You get free hugs. I wish my kitty was that hugable.

[@TNbear0126]

Such a smart, resourceful person! So cool/admirable. I have LED flashlights around me. Nightstand, stuck on fridge, on my living room desk, etc., so I can always access light right away. Waters never been an issue. I don’t have battery backups. If the power goes out and I lose TV, 😮nternet, etc., I just kinda go @Thank God, some peace and quiet for a while…”, and ride it out. Go sit at Taco Belk or Del Taxi for an hour or make a Dolkar Tree run for anything I might need. I have a guitar, sketch pads and a playful cat…I have no problem occuoying/entertaining myself when needed, if I temporarily lose all the modern digital comforts. It’s so green and lush there. I love that view out your living room window, to your little cleared-out seating/shade area. 😊 You always seem to have it together and dialed in.

[@sue9252]

Your absolutely correct about being prepared. I keep extra things for emergencies as well. I’m a little behind this summer with the channels I follow. Been a busy few months for me. I’m glad you got out in nature to camp a little and looking forward to watching those blogs. Hugs to dear Sophie . Love seeing her on your channel.👍🐈

My power was out 5 1/2 days. Found a few holes in my preps.Fortunately, I have a whole house natural gas generator so I was able to help my neighbors. We were lucky that the 90+ heat wave had just stopped. Love your channel!

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

Nice work! Thanks for sharing ☺️

[@doramedley1877]

These tip are very good reminders because due to fires and other issues we are getting power outages more frequently. I usally have candles handy but we put in a new floor and we packed away a lot of things including the candles. So I need To dig those out and fill some gallons of water because we have a well. I always keep a flash light by our bed in case I need it at night. Thank you for good reminders! I love Sofie she probably just wants attention cause your attention is on someone else. That's what my cat use to do.😊

[@TheJetJJ]

I love being prepared too! I highly recommend a few solar landscape lights. Easy to bring them in the house and light a whole room for several hours. When we have storms coming I shut them off and leave them out to charge until the storm comes in.

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

Great tip!

Thanks for the tips. September is Florida main month for hurricanes. So, yes, be prepared!

[@adeleburrows9013]

I live in the mountains and we have issues with tree limbs and sometimes even trees taking out our power lines too. Several years ago I came across rechargeable light bulbs and they have been a real game changer for me. They stay in my lamps full time and maintain a charge through use. I’ve given them to my daughter and grandchildren too.

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

That's a great idea. Can you share the link?

Always enjoy your videos. I have a "punch jar" but I use it to make sun tea. I love sun tea. Never perk or heat tea traditionally. I think it tastes so much better brewed by the sun. I also use purified water because with our water in Indianapolis one can smell the chlorine when it comes from the faucet. Ugh You are so organized. I'm sort of hap hazard, but I know where everything is. LOL I have a crank radio, flashlights, water. I have two battery operated Coleman lanterns. They light up an entire room. Stay safe. Have a good week.

Thanks Virgina ☺️

[@donnamullins2089]

Hope you power is back on soon. Thanks for all the good ideas. Always have a supply of larger bottled water. Flashlights in every room. Outdoor BBQ with a burner on the side. When we had ice storm power was out for three days. Fireplace burned over 1 cord of wood. Cooked in the fireplace. Always have a stocked pantry. Baked potatoes in the fire place. Cast iron cookware grilled cheese sandwiches and canned tomato soup. Lucky eggs did not freeze in the fridge. Power chargers for phones and radio. The one thing I would do next time is set up a tent inside the house. We don't have much cold weather in Texas but when we do its ice! We do better when it is out in warmer weather. ha ha Not.

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

You have it figured out! 😊. A tent is a great idea! Stay nice and cozy at night for sure.

[@lindaschreiner8676]

I also keep emergency supplies of all sorts, some that can be solar power charged or battery, since I live in hurricane area of south Florida. Being a retired single woman, I mainly rely on myself. I live on second floor 2 bedroom condo and my balcony gets a lot of sun. The longest I went without electricity was almost 2 weeks. I even have 3 battery operated fans. I do have a friend and family members I can stay with when a bad storm actually hits until it leaves the area. I always keep gallon water jugs from Costco during the hurricane season as a backup. I would like to check out a generator like you have maybe to run the refrigerator if necessary. I always enjoy your video content Adeline.

[@nitajosleyn4182]

You have the best tips!😍 For me something about the power going out leaves a hush/quiet kinda lonely feeling. I loose power about 5x year! In the heat index 115’ over summer, lost power 16hrs. I keep old water bottles frozen to keep my fridge cool until shutdown is over. Also based off Red Cross emergency list, I keep a “Crash Bag Backpack” ready all times. We get fierce winter storms and tornadoes! 😊❤

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

Great tips! Thanks 😊

[@gailcraig4495]

I keep 3-4 big 2-gallon water jugs (sealed, from $ store) & switch out every 6 months when we change time & switch batteries/smokealarms,etc. I use the "old" water for making coffee. Also keep nice thick baby wipes for "spit baths". Live on Whidbey Island..... surprised not more outages considering the wind storms coming thru the Straights!

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

[@rhondafitzpatrick1646]

smart woman, I live outside of town in a small central ny town. we have always had a gas stove (propane) just for that reason, I can light my burners and cook, heat water if need be when the power goes out because our water is on our own well, and I always put up water before a storm also, it's a life saver! and of course buckets in the tub for flushing or washing up.😊

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

Exactly! 😁❤️

[@mkel858]

We did fine considering, we went thru Hurricane Michael, we were without power for 18 days, and we were on a well so we had gallons of water and went to fill in town places were letting you fill for free we cooked on our grill, had our refrigerator and freezer hooked up to a generator, we flushed our toilets with the water we got, of course all very inconvenient, neighbors let us shower that had several generators. We are prepared even now we live in Hurricane alley.

[@justmaria5806]

It's smart to be "self-prepared." I'm living in the coastal South, and hurricane season always brings its share of concerns and headaches. I lived away for a number of years and forgot how important preparation can be. Remember the fable of the ant and the grasshopper? It was the ants that were always working working working to be prepared, while the grasshopper was fiddling away and having himself a grand old time. Consequently, the grasshopper was never prepared. Unfortunately, I was more like the grasshopper when I arrived back in the area. All it took was riding out a Category 5 hurricane and experiencing no electricity for 10 1/2 days and local water tre😊atment plants being destroyed. Try finding water when the roads are finally cleared of downed power lines and blockage by trees. That last blast of a hurricane brought the lesson home and laid it in my lap. Of course, as pet owners, we know the most important thing is to have plenty of food, water, and cat litter if your roomie/roomies. Sophie wasn't being pushy. She was just using her usual warning system, so you didn't forget!we 😊

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

Wow, that's a scary experience. You're so right. Once you go through something like that I can imagine that you are super prepared with food, water and back up power. Good for you!

[@teachergrace7436]

Power outages are not very common in my area, however; we lost power 2 years ago on Thanksgiving day due to an accident in the neighborhood. It was out for 7 hours, and we were hosting dinner at a friend’s house. I went home and got my camp stove and propane tank from my RV. We had a propane air fryer where we cooked the turkey. We were able to warm the ham in the gas oven. Luckily, the weather was pleasant. We enjoyed cooking poolside in his beautiful backyard. We created fun memories that day.

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

That's awesome. And I bet that Thanksgiving is one that everyone remembers fondly. ☺️

[@smuggafree]

I have bought some of the charging lights that you showed in the past. I try to keep water. I do live in the city. But I do keep these things in mind since we have had power outages in the past.

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

Good for you!

[@ruthanneflear3122]

I am a canner, so I have a pantry of meats, veggies and fruit in jars and also dehydrated veg and fruit. I also have battery lights that go into paper globes that I put around my apartment. I make sure my chargers are all up to date. I have tea light candles to heat my two plant pot heaters for the winter also doubles to heat up my kettle for cup of soups, jarred stews and drinks. I have had a blackout in my apartment and be the only one with lights, watching movies on my laptop and looking dinner on tea lights. lol. Plus I have solar lights on balcony. Had a neighbour come by to check on me and was surprised with everything going on. lol.

[@margarettt7675]

Nice review. You did not mention toilets, a very important issue when the water supply is not available and your waste management is a flush toilet. We have municipal water, which will probably always be here, but just in case we keep a five gallon bucket, and a bag of peat moss for an impromptu, waterless, toilet. We use this system on our off-grid property and it works perfectly. The Humanure Handbook, available free online, reviews how to use this system safely, without worrying about your hazardous waste.

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

Thanks. I actually use a waterless toilet in the tiny house so never think about that 🤷🏻‍♀️😁

[@ExpatsWithTuxedoCats]

Great tips regardless of the size of one's home. When we lived in Ecuador, the power was ALWAYS going out. Their infrastructure is poor and their electric is all hydro power, so when there is a rain shortage, they shut down the electric grid for hours. We had a battery backup for our computers and phones, but I have to admit, we were never as prepared as you. I'm inspired!

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

Thanks 😁

Glad it was a short outage. I figured you had it all handled. You have so many emergency things in place already. Having lived very rural in a very cold climate for many years (not anymore, thankfully), it becomes second nature to be prepared, doesn't it?

One suggestion, as you have the bluetti, is an electric heating blanket for the winter.

Yes, I have one. However I find my Mr.Buddy heater works better and then just bundling up with blankets at night.

[@lorrilj7289]

@@myBIGtinyhouselife oh! Yes, that would be a lot better! I’m fortunate to have a wood stove. Like you, outages mean no water because I’m on a well. I keep a couple of 20 litre jugs on hand. But I need to invest in a system to keep the fridge going in case of prolonged outages. Last time I drove 30 minutes to store food in a spare fridge at my sister’s home. Not overly convenient.

It didn't last to long.😊 Have a good week.😊

[@myBIGtinyhouselife]

Hi. You can find small battery banks that fit in your hand and can keep a phone charged very inexpensively. If you want something that will charge a laptop and /or power lights then a small power bank makes sense but will cost more. Most companies will have various sizes and price points. Bluetti, Ecoflow, Jackery, Vitoman, Pecron are all companies that make good ones and have lots of options . I'd start small and stay within my budget.
