Here's What Would Happen If The Grid Went Down Tonight — I've Been Off-Grid 15 Years

After 16 years of living both completely and part-time off-grid, I'm answering the question I get asked more than almost anything else: if the grid went down tonight — for real, not just for a few hours — how long would my cabin actually last? In this video I discuss my system (two solar arrays, battery bank, portable power stations, generator backup) and give you real world experience, day by day. I also tell you about the mistake I made that had me running my generator every single day for nearly two years as well as every trip to the cabin for 7 years — and what finally fixed it. This isn't theory. This is 16 years of real-world data. I'm not gonna sugarcoat anything. Where I get my solar components today: https://tr.ee/w4b5MekPig You'll see the latest discount code here too!
