Used the Jackery 2000 plus for power during the hurricane effects

[@ToasterStronkle]

Little late but just popping in to say the Jackery was so useful for my dad’s CPAP machine while we were without power from Helene. He probably wouldn’t have gotten a week of sleep without it.

[@hischildjo4693]

Great video, Nate! It was because of your explanation on how to use these that I even considered a solar generator, more specifically, the Jackery. I now have a backup plan in case I lose power and that's a huge deal to me so thank you!! ❤

[@Dronebertios_World]

Have a very small solar generator and it was a godsend in Asheville after the storm.

[@christiankelley4145]

I just had to do the same thing, the permanent setup did great for the first couple of days but by the third day I was back on the Jackeries. I technically didn't need them, but I really felt like playing video games on those dark days.

[@Ashley_Mo]

I’ll never get over you using the rake as a guitar in your intro lol😂

[@Narrowayhomestead]

😁😁😁

[@martjebicker9168]

The rake is a heck of a lot better than an air guitar😂😂😂reminds me of my brothers and I "making music. I used the well with the coffee can cover for a drum.😅

[@Ashley_Mo]

@@martjebicker9168 Yup! Pots and pans on the kitchen floor.😂 And he’s killin it on the rake, better than a regular guitar imo

[@deborahlybrand2283]

Thank you for sharing! I’m in SC. Was out of power a week. Sure could have used this but my knowledge of these things is very little not to mention scared I will mess something up💀

[@mastermoose8390]

In sc, been looking for generators since Helene. You have the right idea.

[@christiankelley4145]

Don't be scared, I was too. Now I have all the power I need

[@Jethrosgarage]

One thing I have learned is never be totally dependent on one source of power- have back ups! Keep fuel on hand for a generator (ethanol fuel if you can get it) propane for running outdoor cooking equipment, a back up source of drinking water etc.

[@michaelhardy195]

Great idea Eco flow delta pro 3 system and Eco flow delta pro 3 extra 2 battery 12 KWH power whole cabin 😊

[@mrright1068]

Great points. Just got one after being left without power after Milton. My goal is to use my house solar to charge this during the day and run the house off this at night. Just got the base unit will expand if needed.

[@moduly]

Great video, Nate! Home batteries can help us during this power outage situations

[@cdhopkins2694]

WOW, I really like your new Logo for Narroway Homestead, and I love how you played the rake in the intro. Keep up the great work.

[@RaraAvis1138]

I just ordered my first "set up." I'm not going through that again with Helene. I can have the small ecoflow river 2, the smallest one, charged up beforehand for some lights and my Kindles, phone and laptop. It even came with a 45w solar panel to play with. I'm excited to learn more.

[@VictorBanks00]

Youre killing it bro great job

[@shirleydelehanty3466]

I have a jacker 500 watt. Love it!

[@captainhalcyonix9009]

I've been wanting battery backup and solar generation, but the upfront cost from jackets is like 2k$ even after discounts.

[@JessupJon]

Super cool😮

[@michaelhardy195]

Eco flow delta smart panel 2 240V outputs 😊

[@dwmcever]

I use my 3500W gas Inverter generator as a backup to my 5.0 KWH Battery backup system. Those batteries are kept charged by my 1KW Solar Array. This system backs up all the 120v breakers around my house thru my 120v Solar Sub-Panel next to my Main Grid Panel. Designed my system to last 2 weeks if mostly cloudy burning 10 gallons of gas. If mostly sunny, the solar will keep all the 120v stuff going. Frig, lights, Dishwasher, washing machine, microwave, fan, PC's, internet, tv's etc. All my 220V stuff runs on the Grid. Should note that on a sunny morning at 9:00am my 1000W array pumps 950 watts usable into my batteries. The Sub-Panel has a switch that flips between Batteries and Grid power thru an 80amp rated DPDT Contactor. So if power goes out, my Spouse can flip the switch and we're good for 12-24 hours at least before she has to hit the start button on the genny. Working on the engineering design for wifi automation, but am on an extremely limited budget being 72. Texas.

the paw marks at 7:40 xD

[@HCheatNcool]

I wish you would have gotten hooked up with Eco flow. I don’t fault you for putting out stuff about this system. I don’t doubt that it’s good, and I trust the brand to be around for a while. I just like Eco flow a lot better for a variety of reasons.

[@albertoriviera8616]

Cool

[@mattlandgraff4485]

Very cool

[@mut8inG]

I’m still on minion: 117 river bottom acres, raising all kinds of critters, 5 dogs, just some: feeding raw eggs to entities, L👀k into the nutritional value for cooked and raw. Even wild animals, like coyotes, don’t eat raw every day- for a reason. 🌸

[@StevenCasper]

Nice system.

[@renderproductions1032]

Next time, you should try building a full size nuclear reactor. They are pretty good for off grid…

[@thomas_cooke]

Nice ad

[@ShinyNickelBlades]

I love Jackery!

[@robertgarrett3002]

Since you had some effects from a hurricane, i guess your glad the roof was built cheap as possible.

[@mattlove4658]

Air guitar virtuoso 😊

[@noonespecific9463]

I hate to be picky, I have never understood how they call a battery with an inverter all in one unit is some how a generator. It’s a dc to ac inverter. I’m not knocking them at all, and that looks like a nice set up you have there. I agree the two types of systems enhance each other and I like silence as well.

[@Narrowayhomestead]

I agree the term that has become an industry standard is a bit goofy. Lol.

[@lawrencestone2596]

Don't find out the hardplay that you have to keep the battery out of 0°. After you have it for a while, you forget about that.Guess what your battery freezes and you lose power

[@stangkiller1789]

I've looked into them. The manufacturer has me a bit concerned. They are selling 6k units for half the price. Is it really the bees knees?

[@jgjg3848]

I don't have this model, but I do have a different Jackery and have never had an issue with them. I think I've had them about 4-5 years now.

[@arisusanchez]

yup, jackery and ecoflow are well trusted brands, ecoflow makes stuff more for rving and offgrid, whilst jackery is more for ease of use

[@SanchoDomingo_]

Not if you’re in a hurricane situation like the one relevant in this video. We would simultaneously give you a resounding “no” And they’re the only ones still in stock , at any local hardware store, for the last week

[@jeffpitoniak]

​@@SanchoDomingo_😮why?

[@Narrowayhomestead]

They are one of the most well known manufacturers, and many people such as myself have been using them for years

[@Jnash416]

Jack Jack jackery!!

[@simonbarry1886]

Dam i want one ❤

[@eric_seguin]

ROFLMAO. $6000, that's a year of SS. You're not a recovering addict apparently. I'm 68 and can't go out and get a job. Noticed you did real good with your business. I did also but 2 divorces took care of all that. LOL. Very informative video. Usually I would bounce after a minute but you do post good stuff so I watched it all. Thanks for trying to help me.

[@Narrowayhomestead]

At the end of the day it's a premium product, focused heavily on easy of use and portability. As such it comes with a premium price, but these sales drop the price significantly from what it has been. It's not for everyone, but it's perfect for some. Appreciate you watching 💯 thanks!

[@bishbosh7728]

For roughly 2.5k I can build a system with 25 percent more power nearly as portable same output and more solar input that price includes panels mabye even cheaper that's just a system I built recently for someone else who bought random stuff and had me assemble it .

[@DanielAdkins-q6z]

Do they hold up good if you just keep them in storage

[@ABetterLifeInc]

I love having a gas generator. The only thing it’s not big enough to power is my air conditioning system because it’s a full-time unit. I’ve used it several times when we’ve had tornadoes come through and it is an absolute lifesaver. I’m a few miles from Mayfield Kentucky if that means anything but because it is noisy. When I do use it. That’s not running constantly. What is the amount of fuel that it uses. It will last about 15 hours on 11 gallons of gas if I remember right at 50% load. So I will intentionally run it or maybe four hours and then turn it off for two. Just enough to keep my fridge and freezer at operating temp. At the same time. I definitely want an electric generator. Then I could just plug my fridge and freezer or anything else in the house into one of those. So if the power does go out. I have nothing to worry about for at least a day.

[@zethloveless7238]

Just run a system hooked to your home or get an ac for a window and a hookup to the generator ☺️. I throw one in the room window and power that and the fridge when hurricanes hit so I can power what I need and keep cool.,

[@ABetterLifeInc]

@@zethloveless7238 I will eventually do something like that but normally in my area. The storms hit in the winter time. So air-conditioning isn’t the most important but I also want to get a couple small AC window units so I can keep the house a little bit cooler if I need to and a couple bedrooms, really nice and cold for sleeping comfort.

[@zethloveless7238]

@@ABetterLifeInc dude I have central ac and I also have a window ac in most rooms.(south Louisiana). I never run central anymore and I stay much cooler with my window units and cheaper on my bill. Shoved a 25,000 btu in living space then a 14,000 in the room while sleeping is heaven on earth. I even have a portable 8000 and a few 5000 btu units 😆. I’m not gonna risk it in this Louisiana heat brother. 🫡

God Morning, its 3am in Germany

[@NeedWantBuy]

New viewer here. Thanks for sharing! I use an Oupes Power station with 2 200w solar panels to run my office AC and charge devices right now. But we're still mainly on electric. Any tips or old videos for the main solar array setup?

[@Narrowayhomestead]

Within the next 12 months I expect to do a lot on that as I will be moving the array and related equipment

[@NeedWantBuy]

@@Narrowayhomestead Awesome! Looking forward to that video. Learned alot so far from your videos!

[@codyraymydude1122]

Do you feel like your solar generator mixed with a gas generator can run a camper for years? Until a more permanent solar set up can be installed at least?

[@martjebicker9168]

Urbandale and I boondock in our rv we have a 12.5kw diesel genny that we use when I am cooking and to recharge our batteries. I'm going to get all in one units like the jackery with more solar on the roof. Using battery with save on fuel if you only run the genny to recharge them.

[@Narrowayhomestead]

Absolutely 👍

[@Jasperpodz]

Do you guys get chemtrails out there? If so, does it affect the solar much?

[@themidnightrider6805]

Will this generator run a home fridge/freezer? How long?

[@Narrowayhomestead]

Watch till the end. I suspect that one I could get to go 30ish hours from 💯 charge at 70 degrees outside. As long as it’s properly filled and doesn’t cycle a lot

[@michaelpowell9164]

Come on Nate, the gas generator noise can be managed. I have mine in a storage building and you can't hear it running from 15ft away.
