Off the Grid Survival

My Heat Personal Ceramic Heater by Lasko Lasko's MyHeat Personal Heater economically warms you. Not a room heater; a personal space heater. Why pay to heat the entire room or office. Heat only your space. This is a great little heater because it only uses 200 watts of power, which enables me to run this from my solar power setup at my home. I purchased these from amazon, check out the link below; I am an amazon affiliate and get a little commission if you buy from this link ;)

This is an easy heater you can make very quickly and easily in the event of an emergency. All you need is: Bottle of Rubbing Alcohol (70%) Roll of Toilet Paper Metal container (empty coffee can, empty soup can, etc) Step one: Remove the cardboard from the roll of toilet paper. Step two: Place the roll of toilet paper in the metal container, force it in there to make it as tight as possible. Step three: Saturate the toilet paper with rubbing alcohol. (You will use most of the bottle) Step four: Light the heater and enjoy its warmth. In the video I placed the heater inside a portable grill so the heat could be captured and radiate thru the metal grill. This also serves a second level of protection from a accidental spill/fire.

In all honesty, the Harbor Freight kit did its job and kept the batteries charged for whenever I needed them; but the time it took to fully recharge the batteries took several hours and wouldn't benefit me if the disaster was long term. The best way to describe my thought process was that I have $1.00 in my pocket(My battery bank), and I give .10 cents away everyday(Using Power from battery bank), but I'm only putting .03 cents back in my pocket(Charging the batteries with solar).... During a long term disaster with alot of power usage, I'd eventually go "broke". With funds being limited, I went on ebay and purchased two 70 Watt Monocrystaline Solar panels for $129.00 each with free shipping. I got them from http://stores.ebay.com/sunsolarusa This company has a two thumbs UP recomm...
