do you have any suggestions on something else?……solar…..enough to run a fridge , couple freezers , and some led lights…
I can get that bogo setup I posted for $1300…..I thought for the money it would be hard to beat…
also , any suggestions on lithium batteries?….i see a lot,of full time cruisers going to lithium…lighter , last longer , more efficient , yada yada…
it is difficult nowadays for a bootlegger to get any respect let alone make a living…the times are a changing
It might be a idea to get 2 deep cell battery's and work off of a invertor. the glass batteries i think AGM
they are lighter
Perhaps have a solar panel with feeds a trickle charger
Im this way about lithium batteries and possible fires whilst charging.
I would checkout West marine
I know weight is a issue.I have a 1000 watt honda generator which is light ,quiet and cheap on gas.
Which could carge said batteries if needed.
Not sure of propane on a boat.
If we only had a group plane.
it takes a lot more to insult most of this crowd...I've know most here for going on 20 plus years and they still act like they like me...I didn't mean to insult anyone, belittle, or demean. Heck, not even a p!ssing contest. I just needed an excuse to post something
This one has good reviews. This would be handy to have if you could really rely on what it says. It would run your stuff and then some.
We really need to buy one of the big lithium power stations as the power here at the cabin goes down when a squirl farts or 2 snowflakes in a row hit the power lines.
Most of the interruptions are short enough it would cover the lighting needs for a day or three and I'd only need drag out the propane gen set when it snows several feet and I know it'll be a week or more before we have juice again.
After last winter's brutal 8 feet of snow in 3 days I swore I'd nab one before winter set in and here we are again.

radio sure, fridge no problem...do the math, that 2200 honda makes 2200 watts peak, 70% is usable for regular usage...solar depends on the batteries and the quality of the cells...you can't beat Honda...
I'd rethink my affiliation with them...easy for me to say I know, that's why I live in the country...I don't seem to do well with neighbors...

In the possibly unlikely event of a catastrophic power failure, there will obviously be extremely serious losses of many types (economic, security, healthcare, personal to name a few) and having a few different metal coins in our possession won't necessarily save our bacon.
Bitcoin and other major cryptos will probably suffer too but they will likely survive. Many of them operate on several blockchain servers joined together. Data is stored in several network devices in different locations around the world and the failure of one device due to loss of power doesn’t impact the entire blockchain.
Keeping a few servers alive will keep the crypto alive and many alternate power sources are available and in place to ensure this happens. Even our friendly banks have contingencies in place.
Green renewables will come into their own in times like this. The sun will shine and the wind will blow

Lithium are the go to for storing energy, they charge many times faster than gel etc, last for up to 15 years if looked after and are reliable. More expensive sure but a no brainer for me. Used them for many years
