This keeps happening. The same talking points. The same arguments. The same blind eye to the real problem. And no real leadership to fix the problem. Join the podcast where I address the stagnant arguments after events like this from the left... the root problems in our society that cause events like this... And some potential short-term / long-term solutions..

What do YOU think? Hit or Miss? Family Protector... how do we fix this?

Getting into Solar for SHTF?

• Step 1: Electricity is dangerous. Follow all product guidelines and read all warnings - run your plans by an electrician for advice and support where needed.
• Step 2: Get the inexpensive solar products under “starting out” below. Play with low draw solar and start charging your phones, lights and other low capacity items… Start using your wattage meters to measure energy consumption.
• Step 3: LEARN: Familiarize yourself with general electrical terms, Watts, Watt-hours, Amps, Amp hours, milli-amps (mha), Voltage, DC, AC, etc. Google is your friend. “Google how does a 100W solar panel work..” “how does a solar battery station work”
• Step 4: Make a spreadsheet of everything you might want to power in SHTF and calculate its power consumption in Watt-hours (Wh). Using the watt meters below, start recording how much energy your appliances and electrical items consume each day.
• Step 5: Based on step 3 - decide on which larger solar power system you’d like to invest in. I have the Bluetti AC200MAX with 4 200W solar panels. Link is below. It will power my deep freeze, mini fridge and small draw items every day, and I can replace that energy with the solar panels. Do you need it to be mobile, or can it be more permanent?
• Step 6: Consider having an electrician install any solar panels, battery storage units and or power interfaces. (Safety first!).

I've been out sick all week after last week's vacation with the family. Yikes! That's no excuse for not connecting with you folks. So I dug out one of our first podcasts on being a better provider - which is part of our mission of being better protectors and providers, right? Money isn't very tactical sounding is it? Well... the more money you save, the more you have for gear and preparedness things.

Yeah, it's a replay, but I've been told its a good one. If you haven't been with us more than 6 months, this will be new to you. So let's dive in - talk about the family money, and see if we all can improve our situation.
