Who doesn't have a generator?

[wolfmanrogers]

Who doesn't have the ability to make homemade electricity? How many wake up calls do you need? Keep an extra spark plug, engine oil, and fuel to get you through a few days without power.

I'm curious about who hasn't seen the need for this yet.

Looking at you greg vess

Thank you. I honestly didn’t think about an extra or 3 spark plugs.

I've got a whole house gen set. It fires up every Saturday morning to test run, and it gets serviced by me when the computer on it tells me too, with whatever it tells me it needs.

My friend in TN has one of these. When he built the house I questioned him not adding a fireplace. I told him to not trust circuit boards. Well, a few years ago , during a snow/ice storm he lost power for three weeks. The unit didn`t work. It worked up to that time. He lives way off from town, way off a paved road. Nobody had power so the "fixers" got to him last. By the time the "fixers" got to him, he and wife were ready for divorce. That`s why I have a woodstove. I have been out of power several times, once for three weeks in the 70s. A week and a half about 5 years ago. Got woodstove, camp stove,lanterns. I have a Harbor Freight generator that keeps the fridge and 3 freezers from thawing. That`s all I need. If the gen croaks, I can feed the neighbors.

Oh the shame. Seriously, I need to step up my game on that…

No generator for me. However, my Honda Ridgeline does have an inverter built into it.

Ive got 2 gas generators and 2 LPG grills with 13 full tanks. I'm going to add a dual fuel invereter genereator I think

Don't have one, definitely want one. A few days without electricity ain't the end of the world though.

Don’t have one, one advantage of living next to a fire station the power company gets power on quick. Longest we have been without electricity in the 39 years we’ve lived here was about 2 hours during the blizzard of ‘93.
Probably do need to get one just in case!
