Lucius Clay 2.0?Might be time to dig up the coffee can in the back yard where I keep all my bitcoins.
Yes, it does. And it’s needed to run the blower that circulates the hot air around the house. Even a small generator should do the trick. Now is the time to figure out how to make it work.… not even sure if my gas furnace uses electricity to turn on. I do have some gas and a small generator. …
The money's probably worth way less than the rest of the contents of the safe.Watch’a gonna buy?? Where you gonna buy it??
Thanks for telling the www where you’re cash, coins are.
True dat! Especially in this or similar scenarios.The money's probably worth way less than the rest of the contents of the safe.
What you gonna do with an empty can?Might be time to dig up the coffee can in the back yard where I keep all my bitcoins.
When the time comes to build your forever home, checkout how Jeff Cooper built his. Just a thought.My wife and I will do our very best to secure our residence(nothing is impregnable). Body armor and ballistic helmet (in theory) will help me stay in the fight a bit longer defending my wife and residence.
My faith in God's grace is my default. I understand that my citizenship is in heaven with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Will I put up the best fight I can give while on this earth? YES.
I never forget that even "good nature" people can become aggressive when their survival is at risk. Couple this fact with the BLM/ANTIFA mentality that is pervasive today. It's going to be MAD MAX environment.
It doesn't take a very large generator to run a gas furnace. The electricity powers the blower motor, circuit board and the thermostat. But it is not something you will want to deal with after the power is out. Most furnaces have a switch in a metal box located on the side. This is a service switch to shut the power off for the service technicians. I replaced the switch with a single outlet. The furnace wires that were connect to the switch were connected to a power cord then plugged into the outlet and the furnace worked as normal. If a technician needs to cut power to the furnace for service, they only have to unplug the cord. If we have a power failure all I have to do to get the furnace back in operation is to unplug the power cord from the box on the furnace and connect it to the generator. When the power comes back on just plug it back into the box on the side of the furnace.Our power went out over the weekend for about an hour. It's amazing how fast you realize-my well won't run, can't get fuel, don't have cash on hand, not even sure if my gas furnace uses electricity to turn on. I do have some gas and a small generator. I spend ten-12 hours a day working, and don't have the skillset currently to preserve food. I'm pretty much cannon fodder!
A good electrician can hook you up a plug in that will allow you to run your whole fuse box. You can choose which circuits to turn on or off and when.

All you can do is your best, and good natured people WILL become aggressive when they're starving or looking for shelter for themselves or their family. I think a mad max environment might be understated. If/when it happens it’s probably going to be worse than we can imagine. I don’t relish the thought but I will fight till my last breath to protect my family. As a dad and husband that’s my only priority.My wife and I will do our very best to secure our residence(nothing is impregnable). Body armor and ballistic helmet (in theory) will help me stay in the fight a bit longer defending my wife and residence.

Yep, we do them a lot at work. If you have a small Genny. An interlock kit and some sjo with a cord end will fit the bill. You shut off all the breakers you don’t or can’t use depending on the size of the unit and you’re in business. The recept. is the wild card here. Depending on where your load center is located in your house it may require some extra wire to get it to where the genny is. An interlock kit is only a hundred bucks or so. Wire is whatever the market is at the time and the size depending on your amperage needs. Still a lot cheaper than a transfer switch.
