What I'm saying is, prep by starting to live more simply now. Because after my huge lifestyle changes this winter, the emotional and mental impact of changing everything all at once is going to be its own obstacle.

While other people are freaking out that they don't have running water, I've already spent my winter getting used to that, and can work on the other things I'll have to get used to going without. (Internet, electricity, gas being high on that list.)

I also think I'm ahead of the game by starting now, while I can still order the basics that none of us have, make sure I've got the tools I need to repair things, etc. It's a different kind of prepping than I think many preppers do, which is stockpiling canned goods. I'd rather just keep 2-3 months worth of food on hand, and have tools and supplies to make or find more food, fix things, build new things, and that's been my prepper focus. A couple dozen hankies instead of a room full of kleenex that can become water damaged.
And when you think of trade, the ability to fix and build things for other people might be a way to get other things you need. (Not that I'm an expert in anything, or very strong, but I am creative and clever.)

Now that I've got the diverter (awkwardly) installed, my toilet waste is drastically reduced and I'm doing a dump run less than once a month now. Eventually, I'll figure out how to compost the rest. As discussed before, I'm using wood pellets made for animal bedding, in a plastic bag, in a 5gal bucket with a seat I bought for that purpose. With the diverter (into a bottle, which I dump once a day), one bag lasts at least a week. I'm hoping by winter I'll have that diverter run to a grey-water french drain. Because for now, a pee dump is a nice walk through a meadow, but I do NOT want that once a day when it's 15F out with two ft of snow.
I've got lots of prep to do for winter. Just like my ancestors!
Paper towel-wise, I'm using more but that's only because I don't have running water. I use paper towels for wiping down dishes instead of washing them. (I do go in the house with running water every so often to wash everything.) I'm also using paper plates and parchment paper to extend the wash-time of hard plates and bowls. I've talked about this before.
Now that I've got the compost pile, the paper towels will get another life maybe growing some plants someday. The plates still go in the trash sadly. But it's like 2/week.
We don't talk about #LauraRidingJackson enough, and how she ditched #poetry for #ontology and wrote about it #OffGrid. #WhiteGoddess #RobertGraves #TheTelling #RationalMeaning #LauraJackson #LauraRiding
Walking back along the canal in Newbury again and wondering whether any canal boaters have installed an old Leaf or Tesla battery and inverter for domestic power. Trickle charged from solar, shore power or the boat's diesel engine.

Been thinking about building or buying a solar oven for quite a while
I've done some reading, browsed Reddit and such, but haven't had any hands-on experience with one.
Anyone out there with knowledge/tips to share?
Any success with bread/baked goods?
Would prefer to not use the indoor oven for most of TX summer.
Apologies for hashtag assortment, trying to find my folks 
Refurbished #EcoFlow alternator charger and 1.9 kWh battery: $379. The battery itself is 1/2 to 1/3 the cost of the official expansion battery, and it’s got double the capacity.
The only problem I can see is that the draw on the external battery may be limited and of course it’s not exactly plug and play.
The more meta issue I have is I’m kind of just buying stuff without a real goal in mind. #Solar #OffGrid
i see you, ants. i see you trying to move into my laptop. not today. there's a whole forest (and definitely part of the wood of our structures) that you can live in. the innards of my electronics are not for you!
Do you know what is Eco-enzyme?
It's made from fruits/veggies waste peels!
It can replace:
Floor cleaner
Toilet cleaner
Kitchen cleaner
Dishwashing liquid
Air purifier
Clothes detergent
Waste treatment
Insect repellent
Pesticide
Fertilizer
Too good to be true.

Look who is visiting for dinner.
Midnight noticed them first, through the other window. I saw her attentive and investigated. I got to teach her the word "deer."
These are the solar panels all packed up. Surprisingly easy to put away
That was a good morning's work ... getting #meshcore set up and installed on laptop and mobile with a repeater on the roof terrace powered by rechargeable battery/solar
I got some old issues of "better homes and gardens" for free at the library, and while I'm enjoying looking at these gardens (I particularly like the trellis design in pic 1), all i can think about is how expensive some of this landscaping looks 
I want a magazine of solarpunk/dirt farmer/off-gridder/homesteader/diy gardens! Where is it?!? 
I guess it's here on masto lol.
Does anyone have suggestions for a wooden cutting board that won't grow moldy? I have an outdoor kitchen in a tropical wet climate and every wooden board I've ever used becomes a mold palace pretty quickly.
I use a plastic board now, but I want to eat fewer micro plastics. So if anyone has suggestions (maybe for a particular kind of wood to look for?), I'd be most grateful.
