Looking Into Solar Backup

Sep 16, 2010 | Bug In, Energy, Preparedness, suburban survival, Urban Survival

So, I have been looking into solar backup systems for several low voltage pieces of equipment. I’ve been looking into this now for probably about a year. Of course, I’ve done nothing about it partly due to cost, and partly due to the fact that I have to retrofit…

Made In The USA? No Made In Elsewhere.

Sep 10, 2010 | General, Personal

This may end up being more of a rant than not, but I wanted to write a little blurb about how I am trying to buy these days. I have been looking for “Made in USA” labels recently. I have a strong belief that money that circulates here in our country is better served…
