What a cool little radio. Certainly this one has some stories to tell as well. This came out in the hey day of the original CB radio craze and likely spent many nights burning up the airwaves with local chatter and occasional DX.
Pretty cool!

This is what we needed for those cold winter nights. I need to keep water from freezing and I want to do it via solar. Well, this battery can do it thanks to a built in warmer.

I hope this series helped people get a better understanding of solar power as an option for their vans, homes, and homesteads. Later on this summer, I'll be uploading a new series of Solar videos as we build our larger 5KW array and upgrade our system to better handle our needs.

Somehow the folks over at Johnny Products managed to make a speed up cheat code for their incredible Johnny Bucket! Install was easy and it's a new machine when done.

As we near the end of this series, I wanted to take some time to talk about the very popular option of using a portable power pack in your off grid setup. We love these and understand their usages. While not ideal, they offer a lot of benefits if you are going with a smaller setup.

Sometimes you have to admit when you bought the wrong tool. This is one of those times. I have this work bench from Harbor Freight and while it's a nice unit, it's not up to pro level work. I picked up this newer upgraded table from VEVOR and man.... It is SO MUCH BETTER! Can't compare them really. It's a totally different setup.

I've been looking to get a standing sand blasting cabinet for at least the last 5 years. They are not something I need daily, but when doing restoration work on the second channel, It sure would be nice.
When I saw that Vevor came out with their own version, I had to have it. Result? Nice unit and better quality than the ones over at HF.

I picked this up as an eBay open box item. The price was good and it appears that the Antenna is a solid performer!

After trying out the 40V electric chainsaw last month, I was curious if the Wild badger 40V Lawn mower would impress me as well.
Well, Yes, Yes it does. Turns out they have figured out electric mowers as well.

In this part, I get into the scary part. How do we get power from our solar array into out home? Are you going 100% off grid? Well, maybe it isn't that hard as you will be wiring the entire system from scratch. If you are like us, and want to run only part of your home off the grid, then things may be more complicated.

Radios like this bring back a lot of memories of better days. The classic shape and look of it fits perfect in any garage or porch. Add the fact that it can also be used as a BT speaker, and it's clear that it is living in the modern era!

In this part, I cover the Inverter, this is the part of a solar setup that converts the DC voltage (12,24,36, or 48V) into AC voltage (120V or 240V). Picking the right unit for your needs and understanding the limitations is ultra important for your setup.

My first Generator was a 3300 watt unit. It was loud, inefficient, and very heavy. These inverter generators are the exact opposite. I don't think I would ever own a conventional unit again.

A quick video, but an important one. Dirty air filters can really rob your mower of power and cause an early end to the engine.

I am currently redoing our lower barn. The animals are getting moved to a new barn and this 20x20 barn will be used as a repair shop. The walls are just wood now so I needed a sprayer to get it painted quick. Well, like nearly everything else, Vevor has these too!
