Thanks for having me out!
Do you intend on posting an apology video for making click bait videos about the sheriff stealing supplies (which he didn't), or nah?
Why are you using Freemasonic hand sign's, never trust a Freemason America.

@@JustinHEMI05But he did try seizure of goods you just like licking boots...
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.
No kidding! Buy Real gas. I think some 2-stroke oil has stabilizer in it, but when in doubt use PRI-G.
for sure
You are on your own. You can see it now clear as day. Great info!
Good information. Thanks Skinny for having this available.
Thank you!
Awesome collaboration and informative. ❤
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.
Thank you all for the video.
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.
Wow
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.
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.
Keep the lessons learned from this storm. Don’t forget to Vote.
Exactly. Pretty evident that the democrats are more worried about laundering our money than helping us
Yes
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.
Thank you for this information. The bee/hornet spring can be very important when doing repairs on lines and homes or even cutting trees.
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! 🙏😇💯❤️❤️❤️
awesome work YALL!!!
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
Good video brothers!
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.
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.

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!!!
We need to buy more stuff from Medical Gear Outfitters so Dietrich can buy Mrs. Skinny Medic some new jeans
Hahahahahahahaha
Good pants are important. 👍
Those are designer jeans!
@@hawkgrunt4182 If you say so. If I couldnt patch em, theyd go in the woodstove, if they were mine.
Generator backs up solar generator backs up your grid.
Great job turning the generator off
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.
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 UA-cam 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 UA-cam. And you’ll love the feeling when it starts up knowing you fixed it.
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.
I have a 5kw dual fuel inverter generator and propane uses a bit more, but not twice as much, especially when using eco mode. Propane (LP) has 91k btus per gallon and gasoline has 115k btus per gallon, which is roughly 20% less energy. LP is cheaper per gallon than gasoline so it's costs about the same to run. LP can be stored indefinitely and won't gum up the carburetor like gasoline, been there. Gasoline exhaust stinks a lot more too.
Engines ran on propane last longer, require less oil changes.
Solar battery banks work with generators also
They sure do. EcoFlow, for example, has a generator that will automatically turn on and off to charge their battery gennys, and have an adapter to charge from any ICE generator.
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).
Now, being able to afford to run a generator (Gas, Propane, Natural Gas) etc. Don't forget CPAP and Bi-PAPS, need power!
Clean generator inverter power is as important as having power.
I agree. We all have sensitive electronics that could fry with high THD gennys. I have an inverter dual fuel generator for now but I plan on getting a 240v battery generator that I will charge with the ICE generator or solar. This way I won't need to run the genny all day, every day. I have a heap pump hot water tank, mini split, heat pump 2in1 washer dryer, and sensitive radio equipment, I don't want to fry them.
What is the story about the unmarked helicopter destroying an aid station in Burnsville, NC?
Invertor generators provide cleaner power for running refrigerators, freezers, TVs.
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!!!!!
Hmmmmmmmm isn’t that around Jan where power change is suppose to happen?
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.
Bring solar generators and panels to charge them
which ecoflow to get to power a refrigerator?
Our Delta 2 Max did a refrigerator and freezer 8 hours before needing recharging
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😢🙏
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!!

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.
Biggest lesson is to quit watching jootoob shills
