One of the major differences is that unless you have formed some kind of intentional community or have a group of like-minded individuals in your area, you will be the engineer, the mechanic, and the maintenance man all rolled into one. To digress just a bit, this is why shows such as \u201cThe Colony\u201d (the reality show, not the aliens), and \u201cDoomsday Preppers\u201d are productive for the introduction of ideas. Those ideas need to be researched and employed, in that order.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s cover some methods to generate energy and provide power, and discuss the positive and negative aspects of each one.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Wood:<\/strong>\u00a0 absolutely a mainstay after disaster strikes. I\u2019ve written several pieces on the benefits of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/readynutrition.com\/resources\/10-ways-to-make-the-most-of-a-wood-stove_08032017\/\">wood stoves<\/a>: for cooking, boiling water for washing, laundry, and drinking, and of course, for heat. For those with a fireplace and no woodstove, a set of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2MmE7bC\">Dutch ovens<\/a>\u00a0(cast-iron cookware) and a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2JvOKuJ\">kettle<\/a>\u00a0that can be hung within it are good for starters. There are also racks out there for hanging laundry and taking advantage of the heat from the fireplace or the woodstove. The main problems with the woodstove are fuel and security. First, you need to lay in a good supply of wood long before either the winter and\/or the disaster strikes. Secondly, the wood fire produces smoke, something that cannot be concealed, and this will alert others to your location.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Solar:<\/strong>\u00a0 It\u2019s always worthwhile to throw some panels up on the roof, as these can give at least a trickle charge, if not power everything you have.
