Mike sure is making the rounds. Lots of good information. If you're going to store gas. Metal cans, non ethanol gas and Pri-G are a must. Don't leave gas in the generator. Run it empty or drain the tank and carb. Learning to field strip a carburetor, is a good skill to have.
Quote: "Run it empty or drain the tank and carb" ... and take the hose off the carb and give it a shot of WD40 to clean and protect the needle and seat. I PROMISE I am going to install a tank drain on my gen sets.
Went through Snowmageddon of 2021 here in Texas, and we had no power for about 5 days. The most distressing part was seeing my grandad and grandma so cold in their own living room when it was in the 30s and 40s INDOORS. As soon as we could borrow some heaters and a generator we set it up for them and that helped a bit. And the most frustrating part was food. We all got SO excited when someone made the trek to Costco and was going to bring a pizza back, but they didn’t have any. A plan to have warm food is a bigger deal than you’d think. Needless to say we have a generator and backup space heater *and* AC unit now.
I like the idea of having an AC unit, I've never thought about it. The AC is the only thing not wired to our generator. Previous owners setup generator and I too just figured we would just tough it out. Good excuse to get a window unit to run in the garage workshop and have as a backup.
@@Brian-rj5rl The one we got is a bigger upright unit with an exhaust tube that goes out the window. I would say it could cool a smaller living room with all the windows closed of course. Window unit would probably work with a bedroom. In Texas it’s a really good thing to have, because when it’s 107 and your central AC gives up the ghost (or the power goes out) then it can feel quite dire 🤣
Another Texan that went through Snowpocalypse. We're rural, so propane heat and a propane stove/oven. We had intermittent power outages. I ended up pulling out the 2Kw Champion inverter generator, along with an extra car battery, and a 12 volt to 120 volt power inverter. Ran the generator about 50ish hours and used maybe 4.5 gallons of gas(the can wasn't full so I don't know exactly how much). A 750 or 800 watt(continuous) power inverter will provide enough power to run most fridges and freezers. You HAVE to run the car engine to do this, or you will have a dead battery very quickly.
I am a Master Electrician and have been installing renewable energy systems since 2000. 1. Put a fully charged battery bank in every vehicle you own. Have the cables for phones, flashlights, radios attached. 2. Buy a plug in inverter for each car. You can use it to run your fridge and some Christmas lights. 3. Buy a Honda EU2000i generator. It can run fridge and lights and it is portable. Change the oil and it will run almost forever. 3. Buy rechargeable headlamps- enough for 2 for every person. 4. Install a whole home generator when funds allow. Install solar and battery backup- buy some extra panels as most common natural disasters will destroy the solar array.
we live hour and half from Ashville and just we lost power, phone service, and Wi-Fi for 4 days thank God. but seeing all this devastation in person is heartbreaking and my heart and prayers goes out to all the ones who were hit hard. people around this area are buying generators, and propane stoves. but if you run a generator keep them out side and don't put them in your garage. I've seen so many people get carbon monoxide poison running their generators in their garage.
Pretty awesome seeing all the best RUclips personalities get together to help people around this hurricane. We’re loading up chainsaws and headed from Maine down to grindstone ministries FOB next week. Not sure what they’ll use an inept lobsterman for, but I promise to work hard and serve the Lord.
My relatives were lucky during Rita. After working Katrina and riding out Rita in New Orleans I drove to Lake Charles to help relatives. All the transmission poles were down when I drove in and were up a week later when I drove out. Flat terrain has advantages over hill country on restoring power.
With the recent natural disasters I've been re-evaluating my preparations and using lessons learned from lots of RUclipsrs who are living through it. One of the big issues has been the lack of electricity and people being able to cook, etc. Although I do have a propane grill, I like to have redundancy. I just bought an iron dutch oven trivet specifically to use on my outdoor fire table. It fits perfectly over the heating element and will allow me to cook or at a minimum, boil water in an emergency. It will also work for making chocolate fondue anytime the desire arises! This simple addition turned something that I previously thought of as decorative patio element into something far more useful.
Yeah, that's about right 3-4 months, we went thru Hurricane Andrew in 1992.... landfall was Aug 24, 1992, our power was restored January the following year.... 5 months later.
This is so great to see you guys teaming up!! If anything good comes out of this, maybe some folks will see the “larger community” of YT and realize that all creatives need each other as humans. Compassion and empathy have been a little “short” in the world these days. It’s really awesome to see inspiring ACTIONS that matter to so many people who have been devastated. Hopefully these displays of unity will inspire others to grow and rethink their motivation when it comes to the future. God bless you ALL! 🙏😇💯❤️❤️❤️
Very good advice! Thank you. I live in Florida, and im a CPAP user. I found that a Cheap Computer APC from Office Depot. I paid $125, and when fully charged. I can run my Cpap for over 2 weeks!! And threw a Genarator only takes 20 minutes to fully recharge. Plus, you can charge phone and electronic devices from it. Even plug in a simple fan. Has 8 120 volts plug on rear and usb ports.
The larger the generator, the more gas it consumes. A 2000 watt will run your refrigerator and some other small appliances and will run for 8 hours on 2 gallons of fuel more or less depending on load.
I just ordered a whole home capable generator last week, dual fuel. Same brand as my inverter generator, made in USA, in my state. Realized it's been 8 or 9 months since I used the inverter unit. Had smelly gas, not too bad yet. So I drained it and filled with new non ethanol premium fuel. Then ran it long enough to get the fuel system to have the new fuel in it completely. Just waiting for delivery of the big unit so I can get to work fortifying it into my system. I have a farm but can cut power to everything but the house or run the garage or shop if I'd need to.
Backups for your backups are necessary if you want to be truly prepared. A small, 2k watt, generator is all you "need" to keep some lights, fans, refrigerator, C-pap, etc, going. They are generally very fuel efficient as well. The bigger the generator, the more fuel you will need on hand. We live on a farm, so keeping 25 gallons of gas is just normal and easy for us. Running the large generators in emergencies is actually very inefficient because they produce way more power than you actually "need" most of the time. "Need" is a personal thing. I need AC, so I have generators that can run a window and portable AC. I don't plan to run my HVAC system. My dual-fuel will run all the AC circuits in the house, but we still have to be mindful of how much power we use at any one time. Running the ACs, coffee maker, and microwave at the same time isn't a good plan. Dual-fuel generators are great because you can store propane indefinitely. With gas, you have to make sure you keep the gasoline rotated, so plan on running it through your mower or vehicle monthly. Propane is less powerful than gas so, like all power sources, you need to know your requirements and plan accordingly. A generator that isn't cranked and run regularly is very likely to be a paperweight when you really need it. That's just the reality of gasoline engines. Been there and done that. We all have a car. If you live in an apartment, it's probable that you don't have access to a lot of energy options. Just get one of the battery jump boxes and keep it in your car. The newer ones cost about $100, will jump a dead battery, and have USB so you can use them to charge your phone or run a USB fan. Solar is the real deal for these situations. I lived through hurricanes in Florida before anybody had solar and it was rough. A 2kw solar generator and a couple of 400 watt solar panels will keep a lot of stuff running indefinitely. Limitation? You bet! 2kwh sounds like a lot of power but a refrigerator will eat that up quickly and we can't always count on the sun to shine. Just like a gas genny, if you don't have access to fuel, they're all useless. I'm really appreciating being able to watch the 100s of videos from people who actually have lived through these situations rather than just the SHTF prepper channels. I am a gun nut, but having 100 guns and 50k rounds of ammo hasn't really been necessary for this emergency. Having food, water, and shelter are most important. Having energy is important but secondary(for most of us). having 1,000 gallons of gas and a whole house generator will keep the AC running, but you can't eat or drink gas. We simply cannot be prepared for every possible scenario. I would have never thought that yellow jackets would be an issue! I have Benadryl, but not because I was worried about yellow jacket invasions. Learning what worked for people, what didn't work for people, and how much we actually care for our neighbors is really eye opening. We have 6 neighbors in our area and all of us look out for the others. One couple is elderly, 85ish, and we always make sure they are good. We have taken them the Honda 2k a couple of times and got it running so they could keep their TV and fridge running for a few hours. Now if only we can have a zombie invasion so the crazies can be vindicated. Not anywhere around here of course. Maybe San Fran or Chicago?
Combinations of the EcoFlow (or similar stations) with a dual or triple fuel generator are a good mix as you can charge those stations with the generator and run appliances at the same time and not use as much fuel. Solar is great when the sun is out. I always plan for it not to be. A little extra stored propane is not that much when you depend on electricity to stay alive. you guys are doing great work for those community. Much respect and many prayers from all of out here
In 3 or 4 months, they will come back and say , it's worse than we thought. It will be at least 8 to 10 months longer. Nothing bad on them, but they don't want to take away any hope from the people at this point.
Even though I do not live in an area that gets hurricanes, I have been watching a lot of these lessons learned videos to be better prepared when the unexpected happens. One interesting source of information has been the various videos put out by the ham radio community and the different ways various adhoc communication networks had been set up in the aftermath. One thing I have not seen much mention of is the use of drones.. I would think that would be especially useful if there were people trapped in certain locations that needed various medications or just to drop off a radio so they could communcate if communications were completely cutoff.
Quick comment: Buy 2 Honda 2200i generators and with a connecting cable one can draw 30 amps. I had a transfer switch installed for the house so I can plug in a 30 amp cord and back up 6 circuits in the house. i chose the fridge, chest freezer, and bathroom lights and plugs as well as a kitchen circuit. Huck Mountain sells a propane conversion kit for the honda generators. It's a 30 minute easy install. Mine have never run on gas. I also have the EcoFlow cooler/heater and fitted out a small patio room I call my lifeboat room. I live in the desert southwest and my wife is increasingly less heat tolerant as we age so losing the A/C is a big deal. The lifeboat room is small enough that it's easily cooled and heated.
Thanks for sharing. Was natural gas services still available to homes? On the topic of generators, I’m interested in a whole home generator but concerned if relying on natural gas for that is risky.
Ive got a small honda generator i tried to crank but the carborator is clogged. Luckily i had 2 john deere generators that we were able to get running.
Get on RUclips and you should be able to carefully take apart and clean the jets and carb. Watch a few different how to’s and get comfortable with it. I used to not know how, now I am able to do it just by watching RUclips. And you’ll love the feeling when it starts up knowing you fixed it.
Diesel generator will allow full use of kitchen on 2 gallons per hour or house if big enough generator still on 2 gallons per hour. Better than propane by far!
It’s only about a 10-20% difference depending.I’ve ran the tests on my generators.It’s also much easier to store large amounts of propane than gasoline.
2:23 "but that took 4 days to happen" This disaster was unprecedented. 4 days was a great result to set up temporary mobile 🗼 towers. If you want to criticize in such an unprecedented scale of natural disaster, consider the preparedness of infrastructure to withstand, survive, and function after disasters. Then mobile communications would have been present. Or get people to get CB radios in these areas prone to disasters or sat phones / pre-prepared communication points like on highways ... At a cost.
A generator is cheap insurance, duel fuel is great because fuel options/availability and propane will not go bad like gas. I never store gas in machines that sit for longer periods. Bad gas in a can is much easier to handle and wont gum up the works. A window unit AC is a bacon saver. If you have cordless power tools get the battery adapter for USB (charging phones and running camping lights).
I worry about cancer patients who may have to take narcotic pain medication and if they run out, are they able to get refills on this type of medication in the disaster areas. ? It would be horrible if patients were to run out of their pain medications. Running out of these types of medications is bad because of the pain discomfort and the discomfort of having withdrawals. Any info I will appreciate, thanks!!!!!
Hey! We are a grass finished ranch. We would like to feed the NC helpers some hamburgers. Where would be the best place to set up. We will have over 300lbs avaiable.
If you can afford a whole house generator consider buying 3 portable generators instead. Right now, does anyone have every electrical / electronic appliance in the house running? Of course not and in hard times the primary demand is for refrigeration ... fire up the barby when ya wanna cook.
I hope everyone has some type of protection against the wildlife I'm going to assume the Bears are going to be on the hunt the Wolves coyotes looking for food I'm going to assume a lot of the wildlife will Parish through winter. Definitely not good what's going on I pray for everyone😢🙏
Copper Indium Selenide amorphous ones give a decent efficiency for what they are. The amorphous cheapies from Harbor Fright might also give enough power to keep a few small essential things charged when its cloudy. Not sure I'd spend the resources to make a whole array of that though, depending on the local climate. Where I am, it's cloudy more often than not so it makes some sense. A few miles inland from here and polycrystalline panels rule the day.
Thanks for having me out!

No kidding! Buy Real gas. I think some 2-stroke oil has stabilizer in it, but when in doubt use PRI-G.
for sure
I store ethanol free in my generator filled to the very top. I run it for about 10 min once a month. Never had issues.

Power banks for cell phones
Yes!
With a 40,000 or 50,000 mAh power bank you can charge the newest phone many times, quickly!!!
Generator backs up solar generator backs up your grid.
Diesel generator will allow full use of kitchen on 2 gallons per hour or house if big enough generator still on 2 gallons per hour. Better than propane by far!
Solar battery banks work with generators also
The problem with propane gen sets is they will use 2x the propane than gas! its less energy dense!
They don't use that much more, but it is a significant increase.
It’s only about a 10-20% difference depending.I’ve ran the tests on my generators.It’s also much easier to store large amounts of propane than gasoline.
Engines ran on propane last longer, require less oil changes.
Clean generator inverter power is as important as having power.

Then mobile communications would have been present. Or get people to get CB radios in these areas prone to disasters or sat phones / pre-prepared communication points like on highways ... At a cost.
Got a realistic one here!
Now, being able to afford to run a generator (Gas, Propane, Natural Gas) etc. Don't forget CPAP and Bi-PAPS, need power!
A generator is cheap insurance, duel fuel is great because fuel options/availability and propane will not go bad like gas. I never store gas in machines that sit for longer periods. Bad gas in a can is much easier to handle and wont gum up the works. A window unit AC is a bacon saver. If you have cordless power tools get the battery adapter for USB (charging phones and running camping lights).
Invertor generators provide cleaner power for running refrigerators, freezers, TVs.

Lmao wolves and bears in the south 😂 little baby wolves. I'd be worried about two legged diversity
Bears and wolves will be whats for dinner. The wildlife will do just fine.
Hint hint Solar does work when it’s cloudy
psssst - battery bro , battery
Yes
Copper Indium Selenide amorphous ones give a decent efficiency for what they are. The amorphous cheapies from Harbor Fright might also give enough power to keep a few small essential things charged when its cloudy. Not sure I'd spend the resources to make a whole array of that though, depending on the local climate. Where I am, it's cloudy more often than not so it makes some sense. A few miles inland from here and polycrystalline panels rule the day.
Skinny,..I'm in pickens..what do you need?
We are good to go now, thank you!!
2500w generator
I love how youtubers are jumping in and postings how they are helping...themselves to get views to make money off the sorrow of others.
