What has happened that heating with wood is now considered an alternative heating method? Wood is now in the same category as solar panels and wind turbines. Remember when everybody heated with wood? This episode is just a quick chat about our conversion back to wood heating, somethings that we had to consider &#8211; cost, insurance, installation, efficiency, and placement.
Get thinking about heating with wood, it&#8217;s efficient, cost effective, can get you some rebates, and is the only source of heat known to magically induce hot chocolate drinking and board game playing.

One of our CanadaPrepared.com friends, Paul Cobham of SurvivalSchoolCanada.com, has put together a talk on micro hydroelectricity. Microhydro, as some call it, is perhaps the most consistent and reliable way to produce electricity for your home. It&#8217;s also a lot simpler than you might think! All you need is a good stream that doesn&#8217;t freeze up or dry out, a drop in elevation and the necessary equipment. Once installed, maintenance is on par with solar or wind, but the production is much more consistent.
Coupling this technology with solar or wind would definitely make for the ideal off-grid situation.
Keep in mind that you will need to talk with your local natural resources office for regulations and advice. Paul, a long time instructor of outdoors survival, speaks very well about this topic. I know you&#8217;ll enjoy it!

The other great part of this project is that it familiarizes you with almost all the basics of a 12 volt power system. Free PDF wiring diagram.]]></description>

Size your wires, battery, panel, regulator, inverter and fuses appropriately and safely. If in doubt, consult an electrician. Heck, consult an electrician anyway to be safe. This will help you understand what I was [...]]]></description>
