Rowmaker | Preparedness is Fundamental
https://proficientprepping.wordpress.com/199-2
Prepping is a Mindset. Using discarded and scrap steel, the rowmaker is simple to build out of steel, but a scrap wood one could be built if you didn’t have a welder and made it beefy enough. The beauty of this device is its simplicity. Constructed from an old piece of tubing, some angle iron, a discarder water pipe and two junk steel plates, it has worked flawlessly for ten years without a broken weld. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

Prepping is a Mindset. We are not prepared for doomsday; I simply advocate being prepared for any type of crisis that might affect my family. Act of God or act of man, their safety is paramount. If people wish to put the survival of their loved ones in the hands of corrupt, dysfunctional, self-serving political and financial systems that has each taxpayer owing $135,732.00 (as of 2/11/12) that’s their right.

Prepping is a Mindset. Last year, due to high energy costs, the price of steel went through the roof. A piece I used to pay $5.00 for was now over $15.00. Although it’s come down a little it’s still exorbitant. I always have 10-20 projects on the burner here at the Recycle Ranch, and they all require materials of one sort or another. I’ve always been keen on scrounging and barter, so the outrageous prices of materials made scrounging even more important. Another big score I found out about is tractor ski...

Prepping is a Mindset. The wiring is so simple, we had a couple of gals that hadn’t used a wire stripper, building their own generators in about an hour. While it won’t run a house, it will run some small appliances, tools and a LOT of LED lights to drive away the darkness. On my unit I have a 12 Volt Ryobi battery charger that lets me charge all of my 18 Volt batteries, giving me cordless drills, impacts, lights saws and a lot of other tools all recharged by the sun!

Prepping is a Mindset. The 7 AH battery fits comfortably in the bottom. Make sure the battery tabs are insulated from the side of the box. Wire the unit according to the instructions on the charge controller you purchase. (My controller is an older unit I had in my parts bin). I used SAE battery connectors as they carry the ampacity and easily connect. Mark your connectors with tape. All that’s left is to find a power plug that fits in the Energizer charger. Make sure the polarity is correct. Get every n...

Lights | Preparedness is Fundamental
https://proficientprepping.wordpress.com/458-2
Prepping is a Mindset. There are crank type lights available, but all I’ve seen are cheap plastic junk, which will become useless when the handle snaps off. Rechargeable lanterns with built-in solar panels are great, as long as they are well built. When it comes to lighting and most other essential prepping appliances, the rule: Three is Two, Two is One and One is None, applies. Like everything else in life, there are always tradeoffs. The.

Good Ol Days | Preparedness is Fundamental
https://proficientprepping.wordpress.com/434-2
Prepping is a Mindset. God was mentioned and prayers were said, religious carols were sung, School Christmas programs depicted the birth of Jesus. I recall even hearing about the Ten Commandments in class, and then came Madalyn Murray O’Hair. We went to church every Sunday, and most places were closed out of respect. On Friday, many fast food restaurants served fish out of respect for Catholics. In those days, and in the preceding tens of thousands of years, there were two sexes, male and female. It ...
