Folks due to spammers the comment group here is not related to off the grid. If you can pass muster in the comment group that is linked we will invite you to the main chat group. Thanks to the spammers we were deleting more posts that good info. Nothing against you but this is a necessary step.

A little bit of clarification to address the undue concerns caused by the prior post. The channel OffTheGridOfficial isn't going to ban or remove anybody unless they misbehave.
The discussion/comments chat formerly associated with this channel has been separated from this channel because the constant spam through the comments were disruptive. A new chat, OffTheGridComms, has been created to manage comments and give us a chance to screen those we allow into the discussion group.
Want in? Prove your worth in the comments with intelligent questions, good suggestions, and a pleasant demeanor.
I, for one, will be posting some prompts for discussion over the next few weeks to encourage these sorts of discussions.

Pop quiz: do you have flash lights? Yes silly but winter coming and gets dark sooner. Pro tip: aim flashlight up at your ceiling for a nice even light for walking around.
If you have a generator there are things to be mindful of… noise of course and lights that can be seen from the street. So imagine I’m cruising your neighborhood and I see lights on in ONE house. I’ll take note and come back after you are asleep and liberate your generator.
Thinking of cooking on the LP grill outdoors? Smell travels and you’ll have hungry people showing up. That’s great if they bring beer but not so great during long term power outage.

Pop quiz: do you have a way to start a fire? I just spent 30 minutes yesterday looking for the gas grill lighter. We’ve just moved and everything is packed up. Also my mother in law was a heavy smoker and when she passed years ago we kept her fishbowl of old bic lighters. They are also packed in a box we can’t find.
Do you have extra coin cell batteries for your red dot scopes?
I just had a conversation with a friend in Germany. He has recently bought a Lister engine to run a generator in his house. Naturally this also makes heat. So I asked where do you get the fuel in the long run to run the generator? The answer was that he is an elevator repair man and every building in Germany has an elevator that uses hydraulic oil. The elevators are often overfilled and the oil must be changed periodically. Hundreds of liters of oil in each elevator. The best part about it is that the government is housing a lot of illegal immigrants in multi story apartment buildings and he looks forward to disabling the elevators in those buildings when shit hits the fan. https://youtu.be/dpu320oGniM

Fire drill: Your well pump just failed. Do you have the parts to pull it? Pipe unions? Waterproof splice kit? Spare pressure switch? Spare pump? Teflon tape?
