@netblocks as mobile phones start to need recharging, it will be interesting to see the level of #offgrid resilience at which this decline levels off - or if limited grid restarts permit a background level of phone connectivity.
Off-Grid Electricity and Hot Water from Scrap Wood

Although it’s made from wood, it has properties that make it much more useful for cooking — including burning at a higher temperature and with more consistent burn rates. It can also be used as a fuel for generating heat and electricity, but since it’s not typically found lying around in the forest it has to be produced, which <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEop8qmmt4M" target="_blank">[Greenhill Forge] has demonstrated his charcoal production system in one of his latest videos</a>.</p>
<p>The process for creating charcoal is fairly simple. All that needs to happen is for wood to be heated beyond a certain temperature in the absence of oxygen. At this point it will off-gas the water stored in it as well as some of the volatile organic compounds, and what’s left behind is a flammable carbon residue. Those volatile organics are flammable as well, though, so [Greenhill Forge] uses them to heat the wood in a self-sustaining reaction. First, a metal retort is constructed from a metal ammo box, with a pipe extending from the side and then underneath th](https://files.mastodon.social/cache/media_attachments/files/116/229/195/718/802/793/original/a75ac58b7c8c2f57.png)

@jessicawildfire has been working on an illustrated survival guide for the past few months -- the first edition is done, downloadable for free as a PDF, printable under a Creative Commons license, with spiral-bound pre-printed copies available to order. This is a project very much worth following and supporting.

Concerned about a couple cells in one of my 24v LiFePo4 batteries. Cells 4 and 5 once above a certain voltage just race into overvoltage. This battery will be relatively well balance until it hits 28V, then a minute later it's seriously out of balance and gone into overvoltage protection at 29V.
Any thoughts?

I just created a channel on Peertube and of course the first video I uploaded there is Misoy's tribute.
This was our incredible life together, in Greece and in Spain (and from Greece to Spain), at beaches and mountains.
With Caramelo, my other rescue, and Tsifki, my rescue cat.
Enjoy!

Really, I wanted enough energy to at least comfortably "keep up," and while it can feel sometimes like I'm not (since being out of work doesn't feel like I'm keeping up), the fact that I could make a new toilet within days of the old one breaking, and before it broke so much it was unusable, that's within the parameters.

OMG. #OffGrid #DIY #Solar folks on some of these groups are constantly trying to talk themselves and each other into new ways to burn down their homes and RVs - with an assist from sneaky wire companies who sell their cables with 130C+ rated insulation as welding cable with ridiculously high amp ratings. Charts like this welding cable sizing tool get shared that will burn down their solar systems.
Welding is a completely different application that sees short bursts of current in a single wire that's being held by someone in welding gloves and other protective gear - NOT a wire that sees CONSTANT currents and is laying against combustible materials, equipment, and other wires. It's OK to use welding cable - even good, because its insulation is often rated for 130C or more. But you can't run the 130C amp rating in that wire on a solar system. 130C is 266F. The cable insulation won't melt, but everything it touches will. The most current you should run in a solar system would be the 90C ampacity rating from the NEC for residential use, and preferably the 75C rating to be safe.

I have a difficult time making healthy food for myself that I can stand to eat and that I don't get sick of. So last summer, I stumbled upon build your own salads as a way to get meat and fresh veggies in a variety of ways without using the stove. (Otherwise it gets too 100F in here.) It had the added effect of being delicious and cooling.
I only figured that out in August, so was disappointed when it got cold too soon.
That's when I discovered that build your own soup by adding meat and veggies to pre-made soups was the winter equivalent!
I feel set for life on food decisions.
