Off Grid

Power, heat, batteries, panels, propane, and backups.

Cabin power Off Grid Battery, panel and inverter, and how much you actually need. Closing and opening the cabin Off Grid Shutting the cabin down for the winter so nothing freezes, rots or moves in, and opening it again in the spring without a nasty surprise. Heating with wood Off Grid Running a wood stove at the cabin: dry wood, a clean chimney, ashes put away right, and what to do if the chimney catches. Propane and carbon monoxide Off Grid Running propane at a cabin without gassing yourself, and the alarms that tell you before you feel it. Running a generator Off Grid Sizing a generator, where it sits, fuel and oil, and the two mistakes that kill people: running it inside and feeding the cabin through a wall plug. Water and waste at a cabin Off Grid Getting water in, keeping it from freezing, and putting the dirty water and the rest out of the way.
