I have a portable battery station (BLUETTI) that can plug into a cigarette outlet and it can power 3,000w of cooking things. Maybe that part could have been left out of the story.

My wife and I met ages ago. We were friends for a while. Went on some dates, and eventually got together. I think we were dating about 8 years before getting married, we knew we were compatible. We didn’t rush anything.

I got married in Vegas, it was a very affordable wedding. That was almost 10 years ago.

If one of us dies, being married is a very easy way to make sure the other person inherits everything they need to survive.

I also see how impressed older people are when we say we are married, it seems so few people get married anymore.

There are so many good reasons to get married. Just be sure before jumping in that both are on the same page of life and goals, compatibility, compromise and understanding, etc.

Yea, it’s been super nice. Mine can be powered by 120V AC or 12-24V DC. I’m using the 24V DC so I can still use the 12V outlet on my BLUETTI for other things. It’s been working great.

That is how our iceco fridge is, it opens at the top like a cooler.

We do have a lot of wind most of the year, my neighbor gave me 2 wind power generators, but I need to get them and install them.

I was saying that when it’s really rainy the clouds will block the solar, so I might need a gas power generator to keep my batteries going. We have only been here a few months so not really sure what to expect.

Right now we are very light on power, the most power hungry is our portable iceco fridge that uses about 40w of power on and off. We have mostly rechargeable lights and phones, and my laptop that is USB-C to charge.

We are in Arizona, high elevation so it’s not as hot as the big cities. (Over 5,000 ft)

We want to order water delivery first, then collect rain water after we build a roof over the RV.

We have solar and it’s been enough for us so far, but I know when it rains during monsoon season that I may need a generator.

They are not only in that place, but that is the level where you find the most of them.

I’m very happy to be a land owner. Just a few months ago I bought some land and now live in an RV on the land. Tomorrow we drive about 7 hours round trip and get the last of our stuff from storage. So happy to not pay that rent anymore.

We have fresh air, beautiful views, and tons of space to work on projects, free electric from solar, and soon free water from rain. I can’t wait to start our garden soon, then it will be free groceries.

I believe every piece of “news” about him is a self made “press release” that he sent so his name and message can get out. I feel it’s all part of his plan.

Are you at the correct level. Minecraft changed the level diamonds are at a few years ago

If you can not afford rent, there are alternatives such as living in a car or suv. It’s much cheaper. I lived in a car with my wife and cat for a while, but we are now in an RV on some land we own. If that is an option you are considering, check out the YouTube channel “cheap RV living” is where I learned most of what I needed to know. We had window vents, battery and solar, fridge for food, twin bed, and so much more in a little space.

Just make sure you have a job because everything cost money and things happen, just had to pay a fortune for the clutch in the car going bad.

When toys R us closed my wife and I bought so many things. We ended up with the Nintendo switch kiosk, Nintendo background for the peg board, some internal documents showing the product places in the store and maintenance records for the different game kiosks. Really cool behind the scenes info only few employees get to see.

I had an HP laptop that melted, but they voided the warranty when I unplugged it to stop it melting.

I avoided their products since then. Fucking $1200 gone.

I also have an HP printer and if I were to ever use HP toner it’s over $1000 for the 4 toners. But the generics are way under $100.

I avoid HP!

In the mid 2000s I had a little TV with a PlayStation 2 console, but going over bumps scratched the games so I took it all out. It was fun for a while.

I think it’s a local company, Met them at a local event for the alternative buildings and living off grid. We also met a lot of YouTubers there, it was super chill.

When I call them, I want to ask if it’s from a well, is it drinkable, etc. I do have filters and the UV light for water that I will add eventually.

I run a few online businesses (streaming, YouTube, eBay), but had to put all that on hold as we were moving and getting settled here. Just about out of our savings, but we are very close to starting the business back up. I think maybe 1-2 weeks.

There is always set backs working here off grid, example is yesterday I was cleaning land to move the RV and the track came off the excavator. It looks like a simple fix on YouTube but it’s raining now lol

Arizona has several counties that are not as strict and allow a lot of alternative living options.

Currently getting water from a purification machine at the store, it’s expensive but we use very little right now. (42 cents per gallon)

We just got a 2,500 gallon tank, after I finish the plumbing I plan to order water delivery, should be about $200 to fill the tank. (Less than 1 cent per gallon)

After that I’m making a roof and collecting rain water. (Free water)

I have dreamed of this lifestyle for over 20 years, and just moved here a few months ago.

Septic is installed, we live in an RV. Just got this land leveled and ready to move the RV into place next to the storage containers we have. Right across the driveway will be a large garden area, but right now we only have a compost pile so far.

A neighbor said they will help us with chickens, so we only need some fence and feed. Things move slowly, but we are excited to jump into this lifestyle. Fresh air and beautiful views.

If I were to prepare for the internet to be out, I would most likely do the following:

I would go with a mix of 720 for most movies/shows and my favorites at 1080. I would also go for a collection of my favorite music.

Then as an extra download Wikipedia and some Ted talks, and a bunch of YouTube videos to watch offline. I guess some e-books and or PDF. Maybe download some memes and stuff to laugh at.
