Jeff Yago, author of “Lights On: The Non-technical Guide to Battery Power When the Grid Goes Down” designs self-contained solar-powered buildings made from shipping containers, “Alternative Power”. These rugged metal freight containers allow fast and easy transport to remote communities or disaster relief areas. The exterior solar array is designed to be easily removed and stored inside the 20 foot long shipping container. Read more “Reliability and Alternative Power!”
This show has solar electric expert and CEO of P.E.G. Solar, Joe Ordia. He is a Prepper that started a solar electric company when he could not find the help he needed as a Prepper. His company has been steadily growing and prides itself as being a solar company that understands Preppers and Prepping. Joe answers all your questions on solar power in a grid down situation. Tune into this show to find out how you can plan out your solar power system no matter how big or small you want to make it. Learn what you can power and what you should leave turned off. We will talk about the differences between 12 and 24 volts, when you should use each, and much more. 
In this show, we discuss ideas for building a low cost solar powered system as an option to provide lighting and some, limited AC power in a grid down scenario. I discuss what I used and why I chose it. We will include the benefits of buying the solar kit from Harbor Freight. What the basic kit comes with and how to buy it on the cheap with coupons.

If you haven’t experienced the effects of an EMP, it’s hard to believe that it could be a real threat to our way of life. Our planet has made extremely rapid progress in technology and thus, we have generations of people who have become truly dependent on the systems that technology created. Many of us know we need to prep for an EMP but we have lost the pioneer skills and determination which enabled our ancestors to survive the toughest conditions. An EMP 
So the three ring Circus we call the Election has wound up & the fat lady has sung. Happy Now? Did the world end for you? Has a new day dawned? Or have we all just awoke, thinking Wow! What a Nightmare?
This show I will be discussing solar ovens and the uses. How can you build one yourself? And a few pre-made ones you can buy. What are the advantages and drawbacks to such a device? The need for food is unquestionable. When we do not have a stove we can turn on at the flick of a switch we have to find a way to cook. Like our ancestors did before us they found a way, luckily today we 
Electricity is a great thing, until it is no more. We get so used to having light at a flick of a switch. But what happens when those lights go out? On Survival and Tech Preps we have talked about high tech vs low tech in previous shows, now I want to talk about prepping for a low tech lifestyle.
