Mainly for low wattage remote needs. I too am looking, casually, at installing solar. As a cheap DIY...

The most essential thing I have for emergencies is my coffee kit. Mechanical handcrank coffee grinder .. Little sterno/candle stove. and a pour over coffee maker w filters. If I don't have my coffee there isn't much sense on continuing onward. OK. I just changed my mind. I will be hanging out with ...

Two decided to use my services. I’ve broken even, so that’s good. I was just expecting a little more interest. Maybe with time, an...

Heck, I'm a gun- and training-enthusiast who works at a school and I hadn't even HEARD of this qualification until I just *happened* to c...

I tried one of those on. Unfortunately they did not fit me right which is odd because an XL is usually no trouble. My wife ended up going to Academy and getting a bunch of the Magellan shirts. $12.74 each. They may have been on a BOGO1/2. They're not square cut. I like them because they are lightwei...
