    Any tips for rubber tramping with chickens?

    I saw a few people who kept some chickens in basic cages on their tramps on catamarans, thats the only way i would even consider taking any, and they would be cornish x for meat. i was thinking when i read the original post the smell will be outrageous inside. It seems you have learned that...

    Is Green Energy really Clean Energy ??

    I agree that solar and wind especially can be very damaging to local fuana. But, gen4 nuclear is coming and i for one hope we embrace it. Using molten salt reactors to burn off old nuclear waste and decomissioned bombs makes a ton of sense to me, and its all demonstrably viable technology (as...

    There is no such thing as Clean/Green Energy

    I know this is an old thread, but a friend is currently looking to put low head hydro on his land. He is talking to this belgian company called turbulent along with several others. He’s looking at a 5 kw install. While its not cheap it should pay for itself in 10 years according to his...

    Any mechanics out there? Looking for some advice on this van!

    Matt, Having owned a few vans in my life i have a small list of things to look at yourself if you dont plan on getting a ppi @ a dealership. I recommend doing so, but ignoring the total amount “necessary” to bring the van to perfect because they may have a bunch of nickel and dime stuff you can...

    Its good karma and i have thrown out 25ml minimum every 2-3 years even with my sis getting goats. Might as well get it to a pup that needs it.

    Why is it so hard to find housing?

    For a grand you could purchase a cheap mini van to live in. It may be a high barrier to entry, but i wouldnt be surprised to hear even a sublet room in portland was a grand to move into after first last deposit etc are paid up.

    Any Electricians on here? Help wiring 200amp meter.

    For my money i would be running bigger aluminum for such a long connection. The 00 wire in the link is really only rated for 175 amps and your distance is quite long, i wouldnt risk it. I would be running 250-250-250-3/0 aluminum wire. 300 ft of 000-000-000-00 Copper to handle 200 amps is gonna...

    The answer to your question is yes. You will be pulling some 3/0 guage for a 200 amp service (you growing?). The neutral / ground bus is typically grounded at the meter can or in the panel for older installs(house ground which is typically brought in with the service but separate) as well as @...

    Travel by Air? Ultralight

    I would highly advise against “staying right above the treeline” in an ultralight. Hit a sink, have an engine issue, any problem that might cause you to lose altitude will result in a crash into the trees or ground.

    The one in my photo is 20v 1500mah making it a 30wh battery but a rough guestimate is you will actually yield 22-25wh(chargers arent perfect) which would do an iphone roughly 2.5x Theres a doo-dad you can buy from each brand that goes onto their battery that gives you a 1.5amp or better usb...

    Portable tough as nails Extra power

    Watt hours removes voltage difference from the equation when comparing batteries(a 48v battery with 2500 mah is equivalent to a 12v battery with 10,000mah is equivalent to a 2v battery with 60,000mah). You can do an easy conversion to watt hours by multiplying nominal voltage by battery capacity...

    What kind of maintenance are you looking at right now? If it needs a full suspension overhaul you can do it yourself for $500 or less plus an alignment. Are you mechanically inclined? The accidents may be the real issue though if its real rough looking.
