In these pleasant (relatively) days of late spring, it's probably a good idea to follow the EFF's advice and figure out how to set up emergency communications for when things go very wrong, and there's no internet, and no cell phone service.
I've done a lot of thinking about this the last year or so, and actually set up, tested, and used three different approaches, and here I share that with you:

Inspired by this weather to make some progress on our go-bags, documenting here in case it helps anyone.
I've separated the contents into some plastic freezer bags to help keep fresh & dry in case of a flood/storm.
So far each bag contains:
Food in plastic bag:
nature valley granola bars, mixed x6
fruit in jelly cups x3
flavoured tuna tins x3 (pull tab tops)
Whittaker's peanut/almond slabs x2
cheap metal spoons x2(what food to pack is highly subjective, as long as it keeps well)
Hygene kit in plastic bag:
Colgate travel dental kit (brush, paste, floss, mouth wash)
hand sanitiser
aquatabs (water sterlising tabs)
face masks
set of disposable silverwear
First Aid Kit:
a small pre-made personal first aid kit to which I've added some panadol and savlonStill heaps to add to these, but it's a good start. Next up: water bottles, rain ponchos, flashlights, jumpers, phone chargers, important documents (or copies of)

I hate it when I know that I've forgotten to do something important. Suddenly, I'm jolted from sleep in a moment of extreme focusedness . . . I need to recharge the battery of my portable jump starter. I should schedule the event in my calendar.
This is a gentle reminder to test the batteries in your smoke/carbon monoxide detectors, emergency flashlights and radios. Also, check emergency water, fuel, and food supplies, first aid kits and replenish, as necessary.

Someone DMed me a rec for this brand, and it's probably what I'll get. The size is workable for my space, and this person has a solid scientific background.

Oh hey, I should also look into rainwater capture. That might be a better emergency prep / offgrid project than trying to filter the uranium-laden well water. 🤔
#RVLife #Prepper #EmergencyPrep
#TinyLiving #OffGrid #AskFedi #solarpunk -
What don't I know about water filters that I need to know?
My needs are complicated. I'm not ready to buy (I wish I were!) but better start educating myself.
1. I live in a very small space with no running water, and my immediate need is a water container that fits in a small sink where I can fill a smaller vessel from a spout. (Don't need a filter for this, but hoping to fill both needs.) Tall and narrow shape is best for this space.
2. I have limited amperage, so it would also be nice if the container/filter worked without constant power. Battery/charge power is probably ok.
3. I know nothing about what needs filtering out. Right now I'm getting potable water where I have to drive fairly far, which I don't mind.
But there's a well on the property that is sufficient for cleaning, but apparently it's got nasty stuff in it for drinking. The property owner also brings in water for drinking even though she has a filter (she runs her potable water through a gravity filter). Apparently she does not trust her filter for the well water. It smells of sulfur sometimes, and she says it's got uranium? idk! (I've drank water with sulfer – Icelandic hot water is super sulfery, and this person used to live in a small town near where I grew up with sulfer water that she and I drank plenty of).
Is there a filter that will clean whatever she's worried about in this water? Or does she know what she's talking about and I should keep poting? What about in an emergency where there is no gas and I can't get potable water from town? Is there maybe even just a simple filter I can store for emergencies to use on the well water?
4. Bonus if it doesn't cost $500000. I've already spent enough money on this venture!
Thanks!

i want to stress that none of these were that old, a lot of the really fucked up ones had good-through storage dates on them like 2028 and they were in kit with mechanical switches so were effectively in storage
AND YET
anyway moral of the story is
1: check your lights occasionally
2: don't buy fucken duracell
3: kirkland seems p. okay actually, most of all WAY less likely to fuck up your electrics
-
getting lights for pumpkins, we found battery corrosion so I went through all the emergency lights
(we have lots of emergency lights, until like 6 years ago we would lose power like monthly, sometimes for days, it was a huge ongoing problem and took over a decade to get PSE to fix it)
anyway
AAA:
14 corroded to badly corroded - 13 duracell, 1 kirkland that was in a light with two duracells
24 dead but not corroded - mostly kirkland but I forgot the exact count
28 testing good AAA batteries recovered - 26 kirkland, 2 duracell
4 test-exactly-as-new AAA batteries recovered - all kirkland
2 test-exactly-as-new C cells - both duracell
i am extremely happy I discovered white vinegar kills battery cruft

FYI it looks like New Egg also sells gas generators, so that's cool. But Harbor Freight is still local and I like what I picked out. But if anyone else is following this, they've got the Champion brand like Amazon but they aren't Amazon.
-
I've also started looking into a small ($200) solar generator for portability, just for devices/hot plate/small misc. I'm not happy with Harbor Freight's selection, so probably will go Amazon or see what New Egg has. Any suggestions on features for that that? I'm noticing they don't always come with panels, so it seems complicated.
-
Alright, as per last month's discussion about generators, I'm thinking about getting this one. I can pick it up local.
Is there anything wrong with it?
-
Given the climate disaster in the US South right now and how cell and other communication has failed, it's a good time to point out that there are some ham radio operators in #DavisCA Now would be the time to learn more and join.
We are unsure whether their training is accessible, though. 🤔
