@@mikek50100 thank you!

@@mikek50100 it will go slower in the winter because it's colder out and faster in the summer. I start tasting about after a week.

Because you used a commercial starter and you may have a jump start, you might want to follow their directions.

@gotTeslaModelY nice! I originally was going to tip my panels with gas shocks so I could do them from the ground. But I decided to do the slideout, so I could get more panels. I think I got more power this way. I love the shade I get with my panels (lol).

I saw another DIY and the guy used gas struts. It saved him some time deploying the 8-10 panels. Mine is only 2 with 8 knobs to screw and unscrew. Eventually, I might add the struts. If only I could incorporate a pulley system with it so I dont have to climb the roof each time. I also a manufacturer from San Diego CA that sells the automated one, but it's $600 per panel. Ouch! Made to order only. MAYBE Santa could drop off 1 or 2 next to the Xmas tree😂. Happy Holidays!

@@gotTeslaModelY ouch, $600 per panel. I have 22 panels. I liked the tip up for the efficiency. But I chose the slide out for the simplicity. Although it was still pretty difficult and expensive! Once I got the idea in my head, it really wasn't that difficult.

Yes, there was a lot of data in there. My videos don't normally go this deep. Some people want this information and some don't.

@ good info tho👍

😊

My goodness, I cannot apologize enough. You must think I am daft. I was trying to comment, but for some reason I could only add a face. I am almost sure I did not even push send. Anyway, I wanted to thank you for sharing really good useful information. Blessings.

No problem at all.

Yes, we are on a well also. We will be doing a video down the road on what we do if we are out of power and need to get water and how we would heat it. Thanks for the p.s.

Maybe one day I will measure this. In one of the comments, another person measured the wattage at different settings for a 7 quart unit. I also have a link in the description for the wattage meter I use to measure wattage of different devices. It currently is priced at $29.

We have a few different thermos type containers. In the camper we use a coffee air pot (I think that's what you call it) You can fill it with hot water and then push the thing on the top and it pushes water out. It works great for coffee but better for hot water for us.

@reymorales6936 this is probably fixable! Generally heat is a poor connection or higher current / small wires. If it's a loose connection, that's where all the heat will be generated. If it's high current or small wires, you generally can feel heat along the entire wire. If it is high current or small wire the result will still be melted at a connection. What is the cigarette lighter plug powering?

@daveandsonyainmichigan i have a electric cooler in my car 12v in my Tractor when I travel to Chicago it should be 12. After to months of use gets hot melts and I end up buying new plug and connecting wires sometimes I soder and sometimes not same results

My guess would be that the solder job is not a very good solder. That may be why soldering and not soldering get the same results. Try a Philmore 48-521 connector. No soldering required!

I hope yours turn out just as good too! Let me know how it goes!

What model is your unit? Is it charged? When you unplug the cell phone, does the fault go away? Is this a charger that plugs into the 110 VAC or a cord that plugs into the DC? Can you try another charger or cord?

Hi, yes the reconstitute is always figured the same way. With that being said, some items can take more water. Some meats like cube steak, you can put a little more water and it will take what it needs, you can drain the rest. I don't really measure water weight for meat anymore because I know what Im looking for. For dishes that have meat in it, say like spaghetti, I would measure because it is hard to pull off extra water in saucy stuff. I hope that helps you.

@@MoctezumajavierOrtizosorio they are funny at times!

We are trying to put together something for the first of the year. We will post info in our FB Group & Instagram page. Where are you located?

@@daveandsonyainmichigan I'm in Perry, between Lansing and Flint. I just found you through Heather H. when she showed your seminar!

Well, welcome to the Homesteading/preparedness Family. Heather and I along with our Communication guy are working on trying to maybe put together something after the 1st of the year. We will keep our community posted.

This information is for this specific model. But knowing that this type of skipping process steps are available in this model, it may be available in your model by pressing buttons in different areas! Button are not always visible. Try pressing different areas of the screen or looking online for these hidden screens!

No we don't cook them for the birds. We want it a closer to what they would find if they were scratching outside.

@@daveandsonyainmichigan ok, thank you

You are welcome. You could cook them if you wanted it would just be a different source of nutrition. We sprout them to get them the fresh stuff they can't get in the wintertime.

David is tied up with a job. I'll have him get back to you ASAP

I was not aware that this TV may have an ECO mode. I did read that the ECO mode reduces the brightness and a few other features affecting the quality of the image. I probably would not use ECO mode for this reason. But I may do a comparison sometime in the future if this TV has that option.

@daveandsonyainmichigan I get it thanks. In the meantime ill wait out my electricity bill n see how it plays out without the eco mode and so on. Thanks for you time.

I’m glad you found it meaningful! Community really is at the heart of everything we do.

Hey! So cool to see you here from Heather's channel! Sending love right back to South Africa! ❤️ Would love to learn more about how you Homestead there.

Howdy from the Middle of the Thumb (Lapeer County). Do you have a freeze dryer or just learning about them?

you have a wonderful community of friends, that's awesome, such a blessing for sure

Thanks for stopping by! I really appreciate Heather sending you over. I hope you find something you love here!

Right? Acorn people are the real MVPs! Gotta love having those good vibes around!

Im love that you got me thinking and that you are a part of my community. HUGS and LOVE. Definitely double date soon.

We appreciate you and all you do to help others.

I always pressure can low acid foods. You can freeze the chicken, then pressure can it later. I do a freezer clean out a couple times a year and will can up extra meat. You would want to thaw over night on fridge and then you could pack jars.

@@daveandsonyainmichigan Yes that sounds like the best idea, thank you very much! 👍 Greetings from the EU were everyone acts like all is fine 🙄

Have fun on your trip! Install the pads under your battery and wire with connectors you can unplug when not needed. Just remember to plug them in when you do need them!

It could blow the fuse, it could burn up your device. It could make a motor in your device run backwards. It may just not work. And it may just work fine! A heating device would not care which way it was wired, it would still heat. An LED light in the heating device may not light. A water pump or air pump probably would still run (backwards) but would pump. Electronic devices depend on how well they were designed. They could burn up, not work until you correct the polarity or work just fine with either polairty!

@brightwithspirit emf vs emp. These are different! An emp "electromagnetic pulse" can come from a nuclear explosion in our atomsphere or emp weapon (if one exists). A completely sealed metal type container may protect against an emp. Generally, these devices are stored as backups and not powered on at the time of protection. An emf "electromagnetic frequency" is a frequency emitted from devices that are running, like your modem, cell phone, and ear buds. Even your household wiring! If you put your modem inside one of these metal protective containers and were able to seal it closed around the wires, then it would not work as a modem! I think the best way to protect yourself is to stay as far away from these devices as possible or turn them off when not in use. The easiest way would be to turn everything off at night while you are sleeping. I have even heard that you should turn off the power to your outlets in your bedroom. Anything that broadcast a signal is emitting emf (cell towers, radio stations, TV stations) to eliminate all emf would mean you yourself would need to be in a Faraday cage! Hope this helps a little!

Oh my gosh, really? What a waste.

Hey, great to see you here.

@@ctclimberguy34 thank you!

Thanks for coming over!

You are welcome!

Many options! One time, we were boonedocking on state land, in the woods, along side a river. We stayed there for more than a week and had only seen one person! We did not have electricity to plug into. We never left from our spot. We used the solar on our trailer for cooking, air conditioning, laundry and all other typical conveniences including making ice!

@@ReitzelMurphy I purchased this fridge in July of 2021 from Menards. It is Premium Levella brand PRF736HS. It is an energy star unit with manual defrost. This unit is probably not available anymore. But you should be able to find other enegry efficient.

I was saying your regular kitchen fridge/freezer freezes to just below zero degrees and the freeze dryer freezes to about 40 or 50 below zero. You need to make sure the food gets to this low temp. 15 minutes may won't do it. There is a way to change the default that is temporary and it will go back to the original setting on the next cycle. And then there is a way to change the default permanently! My other video shows this.

@@daveandsonyainmichiganok thanks. I will look for that video.

First short video: ruclips.net/video/6GuWocAOJ7g/видео.html

Second short video: ruclips.net/video/mS2rmWIxF2g/видео.html

The freeze dryer freeze temp is much colder than your home freezer. I believe you could shave off a few hours if the food is pre frozen. The newer unit do this already. It ask you if the food is pre frozen. You could get 5 or 6 hours into the cycle and then skip the last 2 or 3 hours. You can also change the default freeze time if you always pre freeze your foods. I show this in another video. I think the best way is if you remember, when there is 2 or 3 hours left, just skip the remaining time. That way, if you forget, nothing is ruined!

Thank you. We are the middle of the thumb.

Hi, thanks for coming over. Isn't Heather the best?

She is the best, thanks for coming over.

Thanks for joining!
