    What a beautiful idea to have a playlist of low cost self-sufficiency testimonies!
    The powers that be thrive when we remain unaware and unconnected. Information sharing and faith is how we overcome it.

    We found emergency battery taper candles at Dollar Tree. They are BRIGHT! We use solar light strings and solar stakes inside. The stakes can be stuck in mason jars. Headlamps can be put around a gallon jug of water, turn it to face into the jug. It's a great nightlight. Battery Christmas lights really light up a small room or closet! We have battery light pucks, too. Stick them everywhere. Keep stale cooking oil for lamps. Just don't mix with lamp oil.

    A long time ago you had a video about the oil lamps. I found two at the thrift store that were brand new for a couple of dollars. Bought some lamp oil and knock on wood have never used them but they are ready to go whenever I need them!! Being prepared is awesome!!! Thanks!!!!!

      @DonnaMM6361 11 месяцев назад +1

      You might want to light them up in a practice run. I have had a couple of old oil lamps for years that I try to use when the power goes out. But, the "lamp oil" that is made for them makes really nasty fumes. The fumes are prohibitive in a closed environment, such as you have during a cold winter storm that caused the power to go out. I just bought a gallon of the Klean Heat fuel that Heidi mentioned and will be testing it out this week.

    I put up strings of led tiny lights around my living room, dining room and kitchen. It’s all pretty open, but they only lasted a few months before they burned out. I am going to buy a bulb tester to replace the bulbs, but for now, I took them down. I also bought some of the led candles for sconces in the living room wall, they are awesome, and have a remote control so I don’t have to remove them to turn them on. I forgot to grab my phone yesterday so I could comment, but I’m glad you did this one again. Many Blessings!!

    I dehydrate most of the fresh goods I buy, I may let them sit fresh for a few days or a week but we dont eat things fast enough to use before they spoil, and the sooner you dehydrate them the more vitamins you are preserving.. and it is great also to have those things you may have got on sale, or eat things off season when they are more expensive..

    • @RainCountryHomestead
      @RainCountryHomestead  11 месяцев назад

      For us, that only is good to make it through the night in summer months so it is pointless for us to consider using them as emergency lights, especially in the dead of winter when cloud cover is constant and the light will only last an hour after sunset

    I purchased the little cheap battery operated "votive" lights to place in the bathroom and inside the cabin at night when we were on a cruise. They worked so well that i stocked up on them for emergency lighting in the bathroom when we have power outages. I have the oil lanterns but when i use it, i place it in a pie pan of water for just in case.

    Went straight over & odered the little candle votives from your link; there was an additional discount offer if you bought more than one, so ordered two sets. I'm thinking those could be neat in the little glass votive holders that fit inside regular candle holders (you remember they were popular years ago?) I keep an eye out for them & any candles & candle accessories.
    Thanks for showing which kind of lamp oil you use. Those little lamps you have are super cute.

    Thank you, so much great info. I love these. I bought a couple of boxes last Christmas. I actually bought them because my daughter has immune issues and wanted me not to burn candles mostly for looks because of the wax being released into the air. Anyway, love them for same reasons you have them. Yes, I figured out how they do burn cheaper and longer than wax. Great Big Bang for bucks if lights go out.

I was given a freeze dryer and although it does good with some thigs, i am frustrated with the vegies; carrots, green beans, cabbage, celery and peppers. They float too long in my soups and stews. Dehydrated is by far better in my experience.
