  1. Cheap veggies

    I was at the Wally world in Athens yesterday and they had Libby's veggies for 54 cents a can.
  2. Any cannery places left around metro ATL?

    They shut down the cannerys because of to many new regulations from the govt driving the costs too high. You can still buy the bulk stuff in mylar, and 10# cans, but that's it. The store is in tucker, on royal drive if I remember correctly.
  3. Severed Cables...

    They may have already figured out it wasn't an attack, just crackheads looking for copper. Which isn't newsworthy these days.
  4. We are deploying nukes to Germany?

    Not all nukes are on top of an ICBM. Suitcase to missile size, we have them all.
  5. What Brick is the Best for a Rocket Stove

    Fire brick. Regular bricks can "explode" due to the higher water content. Home Depot used to carry them, haven't looked in a long time though.
  6. economic collapse was predicted for sept....

    Stansbury research can tell you the answer, for $49.95 + S&H. :lol:
  7. Cash vs gold/silver vs goods vs stocks

    The number of batteries depends on your power needs.. The number of solar panels depends on the amount of power you need to recharge the batteries. With enough panels you can recharge and use power during the daytime. Think of it this way... The batteries are your fuel tank, and the solar...
  8. Cash vs gold/silver vs goods vs stocks

    Unless they have something new on the market, most 12/24v pumps are pusher types (submerged pump). The deepest one for pulling only goes around 10-15ft. You will probably have to set up a separate water storage tank along with a separate pump/pressure tank in order to get normal water pressure...
  9. Cash vs gold/silver vs goods vs stocks

    If you want a cheap kit for some basic power... http://m.harborfreight.com/45-watt-solar-panel-kit-68751-8527.html?utm_referrer=direct%2Fnot%20provided Only thing you need to add is some deep cycle batteries and an inverter so you could have power at night.
  10. Cash vs gold/silver vs goods vs stocks

    Hunt? That will be over with, within two weeks. Think of how many homes there are within a 1 mile radius. All those people will want to eat too. You also mentioned having a bol in another post, but if you are not already there when something goes horribly wrong, you may never be able to get...
  11. EMP proof cars & trucks

  12. Radios for BOB or Truck? as in backpack short distance Walkie Talkies?

    You never hear about someone that got in trouble for keeping their mouth shut! :D
  13. Radios for BOB or Truck? as in backpack short distance Walkie Talkies?

    Depends on your definition of SHTF. To someone in the middle of another katrina, they might feel it's bad, but the emergency personnel might not be to thrilled about bubba and junior taking up their airwaves. The Ham operators do a lot during those kind of events also to help pass along info...

    For non-fiction, pretty much any of the Foxfire series of books
  15. Must Reads for preppers

    one second after has been the best one I've read so far. Patriots is supposed to be good too. Have it, but haven't started reading it yet. Author James Wesley Rawles
  16. TESLA

    If you build below ground, you could cut down on the need for a/c, but you will need fans and filters for a constant flow of air. That would put your power consumption down to 1-4 kV depending on how big your fans are. But then you have to spend $50-200K to build underground. :shocked: :p
  17. TESLA

    A/C takes at least 14-15 kWh to run. 2 panels might be good, but you have to have enough solar panels to cover your power usage during the day plus enough to charge the batteries back up from the previous nights usage. It also depends on how far down you can draw on the batteries. If it's only...
  18. TESLA

    Air conditioning is about the only thing it wouldn't run. It is not an off grid solution though, they are only promoting it as a way to save money during peak hours. Maybe if you linked 5 or 10 of them together, you might be able to disconnect from the power company. To be self sufficient, you...
  19. Best food to buy for survial

    You might also consider buying a basic setup to do canning. You can grow your own fruits and veggies cheap and also make jams for something sweet. It will give you stuff you can rotate through your regular meals. You can also can meats, but I would recommend starting with veggies and...
