Are these lines that we draw in the sand a way to describe a unique territory, its unique people, and their unique relationship to the land, or are they the blueprints for brutal hegemony?

Gas generators are great as alternative power sources for disaster preparation, but won't always be the most practical option for some, especially if you want something that can potentially charge through renewable sources of energy such as a solar panel and/or need a solution to run indoors.

This is where the battery backup comes in handy! Here I have a Bluetti EB3A with one of their solar panels to keep it running. It can put out 600 watts, has a number of useful output plugs, and can be charged through a standard wall plug, car cigarette lighter port,

This has inevitably spilled into my own lap as many people have bothered me for my take on this whole situation in the last few days (which was in poor taste if you ask me).
