Whooped 'em again Josey

Thank you and much appreciated the wishes. I am new to motorhome life but I figure it can't be that bad. I have a place where to park and get connected to everything. Internet included and I am paying for is power.
The motorhome have everything is needed for a good living. Once in a while I will drive and park to the ocean for a couple of days. I will buzz the mountains as well. I'll be ok

One thing people don't realize is you can also make a liquid fuel as well as gas from wood. It is methanol, which is used as race fuel. The wood you burn effects whether you get more wood gas or more methanol.

Awesome...
Thanks for sharing.

You're a terrorist.

FEMA has plans online on making one

I live full time RV and spend a lot of time off grid. The absolute BEST advice I can give anyone reading this even if your in a dwelling (that’s what they are technically designed for) is get a 220v 20 seer or better mini-split. MR. Cool is very pricy but they have self install kits no need for an hvac person to vacuum out the lines and crap but even a pioneer or advent or another brand you install it yourself only spend maybe 200-300 bucks have a pro come out and suck the lines down then charge it. The unit comes per-charged but if you have to extend the lines and or just want the levels checked and right get a pro for that part.

On average in my camper I consume 2-300 watts just maintaining 72f when it’s 90f + outside in direct sun. It’s totally silent and just absolutely astonishes me how much more efficient than a normal window / roof shaker. I have 600ah usable battery capacity and can easily run it in heat or cool mode for 24 hours with no sun at all. With sun I can ALMOST go indefinitely just every now and then I need a 1-2 hour top off with the generator (which is a tiny 1500 watt inverter Gen uses like 1 gal per 6 hours) every few days and that’s only because my camper is too small (23’ ) I don’t have enough roof space to put any more panels.

Bump to watch later

FEMA has plans offline that you can never implement one.

Funny you should mention it. The guy in the previous video I posted builds a wood gassifier using those FEMA plans. It is a 6 part video series that takes you through all the steps:

why on earth would you want to live in a society that has fallen?

oh ill just burn wood for energy and hide in the forest like the smurfs.
pure nonsense.

oh ill just make sure to call 911 for myself before i get my assed kicked.

you are a coward.
you should be preparing by making a stand to reverse all the abuse & horror BEFORE it reaches your doorstep.

gas is a liquid in america .
imagine how many will blow themselves up trying this idea .

Self reliance.

Another buried technology.

During WWII, there were busses, trucks, trains, boats, and farm equipment running off gasification.

Plastics can also by pyrolyzed from polymers back into hydrocarbon monomers that can be fractionally distilled. Plan on experimenting with a solar powered plastic pyrolysis reactor next year when I have the space...

My cousin has a company in Muskegon Michigan and he builds these units and sends them all over the world, he has really had some major advances over 20 years of doing it

Whenever times get tough he sells them like crazy, he is selling them like crazy

Can post q link?
