Lived in North Houston during hurricane Ike. That was an eye-opener. Thankfully, I had lots of MREs. The main thing is food everything else is secondary. 2 days later the cell phones went out. All the towers ran out of battery. By seven days there were gunshots and people were stealing generator's. I had solar panels and a battery Bank. The only power for 5 miles. Buy day 14 we were getting ready to pull out.I was putting my wrench to the solar rack just as the lights all came back on. However, by day 14 it was a zoo. The really crazy and unsettling thing is that when the lights came back on everything stopped immediately. People just went back to what they were doing as if nothing happened. There is a duality in humans and civilization goes right out the window when they flip
docchocobo now in mid 2020, it looks like the whole country is losing its collective mind
Time for a ham radio in your inventory
Rob Is a HAM license required to operate on that radio?
Idea Baker what radio???? That’s the key. Some radios don’t require it and those are usually cheap junk. Speaking of junk, if you are just getting started, stay away from baofeng crap 💩
@@ChatGPT1111 You said it buddy!
starts @ 20:00 , he has great information before this but in case youre in a rush
Thanks 👍
Thanks.
lol Funny !!!
THANK YOU!! GEEZ 20 min intro!
It’s scary to know you posted this a while back last year and now in Texas we are off the power grid without power. So glad I landed on your page to prepare in the future on what dolor generator to get. Thanks for all this infor!
Same. That’s why I’m here
I went through the 2012 Super Derecho (that also affected Amazon S3 Cloud service) when Diesel was the first fuel to go out first! Then one day later GAS stations lost backup power to their pumps! So the only Gas Staton went Solar and battery backup could power gas cars (he was privately owned)!

If the grid goes down for months, I don’t think we will need our laptops. Perhaps a 12 gauge shot gun would be more valuable.
👍
And goats to mow your yard.
If the grid goes down, anything that runs on electricity will be affected, from bank withdrawals to pumping gasoline for your vehicle, to using one's home water faucet. So we need to plan not just for losing power, but for losing life-sustaining resources.
Sir, you are right! Most people are NOT prepared.
True! Covid proved that and many have not learned
So much for solar flare, just a winter storm took power off for days in Texas
Been living off grid for eight years, doubt if I would notice if the grid went down unless I go to town which I avoid as much as possible...
If you have interwebs (or prolonged lack thereof) you will know.
Interesting. My parents have 5 acres of fenced in land with a well(electric pump) a huge propane tank but are still wired to the grid. I have been wanting to help them slowly cut the cord for a few years.
My take on all this is that if the grid is up and functional, use it! I keep the A/C at a comfortable temperature day and night, my big refrigerator is cranking away, the freezer in the garage is holding 0 degrees F. nicely, the TV is on whenever there's something on that we want to watch (not all that often, now that I think about it), etc. But if the grid shuts down, I can still keep the food from spoiling, the laptops and phones charged, and a multi-band radio alive. I could keep the lights on at night, too, but that's a really stupid thing to do. Just sayin'...
I’ve got 5 acres, electric utilities. My hot water heater and furnace are 220 V. So is my stove, but I have a lot of propane fuel and cooking options. I also have a dual fuel generator to run my refrigerator and freezer, but my concern is the well. Heat won’t be amazing but I have two fireplaces and 40 cords of wood, and more ready to harvest. I’d love to get solar for the well, or a much larger generator for the 220 hardware, run through a transfer switch, but that’s a huge other undertaking.
Thank you for getting us the $300.00 off the Bluetti 2400wh power station, I just ordered one. I think your concept of what could happen to the power grid is totally within the scope of reality. I also thank you very much for your teaching ability on TH-cam. You're a rare and valuable addition to the human family and I. along with thousands of similar rather dim bulbs in the closet, value you highly.
David Miracle I just tried the code and amazon only took off $100 or so, were you being able to get $300 off?
People who are new to solar tend to think that these "solar generators" can do WAY more than they actually can. To put in perspective: I have a DIY solar power system that has 8,000 Watts of panels, 8,000 Watts of inverters and about 20kWh (usable) battery bank. My system can only power HALF my house. It cost $28,000 in parts and I did all the work myself. It takes about 10kWh to power our house overnight with a fridge, freezer and just a few other things running. The typical house runs on about 30-50kWh per day.
Yeah, watching this in February 2021 while there are rolling blackouts across Texas and the lower Midwest. Those folks are about halfway through your continuum.
CAN YOU PLEASE DO A VIDEO ON 2 WAY RADIOS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
👍
I use GMRS ( Have Lic @ $70 for 10 yrs ) radios and get 35 miles using a repeater. I live in Damascus MD and can hit the Northern VA Repeater that sits on top of a Building.
"What should I get?"
"Depends on your needs!"
"But I don't like to think."
LOL
lol
It's true. The statement is totally true.
Oh my god, just tell us what to do, I’m sure we can flip switches, lol Homer Simpson can run a power plant, it’s not like brain surgery.
Have you done s video comparing the Power4Patriots 1800 watt solar generator with 2 of their 100 watt bullet resistant solar panels & 125 ft solar panel connector cord?
I am attracted by the system because it is portable & the hardened solar panels. The $600 in “freebies” are nice but if you don’t want them the system is pricey. Personally I like them.
I would appreciate your opinion on the system ;-)
We use to live at work quite often in the military. We called them Exercises. LOL Became just another thing .
With coupon and promo code the Bluetti 1500wh is almost down to $1000. Thats not a bad deal considering usually these things are costing about $1 per wh.
LeadFarmer73 sent me here. He said you know your stuff!
Do you consider yourself a Prepper or just a Full Timer? I want a Solar Generator for Camping/Van Life; but now I want one for Prepping. I don't want to be a Doomsday Prepper, but I do want to be an emergency Prepper...
I listen to this channel I listen to Will Prowse and I still can’t understand a thing. I just want a portable solar panel a good battery and a good inverter to run a 12 V refrigerator and charge my devices
😑 Now the Jackery 1000 is $999 on Amazon. If anyone know where to get it for less, please let us slow pokes know 😂
Parts are moving from China again. That's a good sign. I have 9 pending orders and all are in motion.
pulesjet yes sir. I work for DHL and we’re getting a lot of freight from China. Good sign 👍🏽.
4 months later and no one wants to buy from China anymore
Great comparison. At our power plant we are working hard to keep everyone safe. Hopefully ill never need a device like those but they would be very nice to have
Oh boy…..I’m going to ask a stupid question so here goes….can these generators stay in your home? Or do I need a cord to plug in my fridge to these generator that are outside? I know the solar panels need to be outside, but what about the generator? Btw…do those solar panels have to be outside? I have a very sunny window and was wondering if I could keep the panels in that window to charge? Ya…I no nothing about generators, I’m just starting out. I’m 68, female and I’m learning, reading. But I have to ask questions….:( I’m afraid of theft too…if my panels and generators are inside, I’m not separated from them
Don’t be scared, I have my own rig 18 wheeler, and I drive all over the country. There are massive farming field of solar power. Hundreds and hundreds of acres of solar panels even thousands of acres of solar panels. We are very well prepared as far as a nation. Solar energy is everywhere., Here where I live in Florida it’s everywhere in Florida, Arizona, California, it’s everywhere. So not to worry. But should you have a back up plan, absolutely. Because you never know when a storm will take out The power. Even a snowstorm. Even a hail storm. But as far as a massive power loss throughout the whole country, not gonna happen.
It can happen. Think about an attack from other super powers. Some people even prophesied about russia china invasion in u.s soil in this november.
A powerful solar flare can fry the grid and all electronics. The last solar flare of sufficient enough strength to fry telegraph lines occurred in the late 1800's in North America, before our electrical grid took shape. Another one could hit at any time, and we'd only have a few minutes notice. So too can a nuclear weapon detonated a few miles above earth, a so-called electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack. A single nuclear weapon launched from a ship off the eastern seaboard a few miles into the atmosphere could fry half the country. Two or three missiles launched from strategic locations, and it's game over until the grid is rebuilt and all electronic infrastructure is replaced. It is true that our electrical grid is very robust as you mentioned, and very interconnected with the ability to reroute the grid as need to avoid failure in a single location, however, for locally generated electricity to travel over large distances it must be stepped up to high voltage through transformer stations. High voltage power lines only lose about 6% of the energy, as opposed to low voltage, where too much energy is lost. Once the electricity reaches the target destination, it is then stepped down again to low voltage at another transformer station. So you can see that these transformer stations are critical nodes and unfortunately potential targets in our current electrical network.
A few years back, a sniper attack was launched on a major transformer station in California, shooting for over two hours and blowing holes into the large transformers, causing their coolant to leak out and to overheat. A major local blackout was only avoided by rerouting power from elsewhere in the grid. The suspects were never apprehended. Afterwards, several reports were issued on the vulnerability of the grid, and it was determined that simple attacks such as these on the 10 most interconnected high voltage transformer stations (unnamed for security reasons), could take down the nations electrical grid. Think about that for a second, in our current state, 10 well placed snipers shooting key transformer stations could take down the entire nations grid. Once the grid goes down, it is very difficult to get back up after a cascading failure, as these transformers are very specialized heavy equipment that could take months to replace. For some reason, according to the report, this critical infrastructure is unguarded and above ground. I don't even like writing about it, but the information is publicly out there for our enemies to see. In my opinion, these transformer stations should be subterranean, in a bunker, and guarded by the military.
It is estimated that if the grid were to be fried by an EMP or solar flare, that it would take up to 18 months for the power grid to be rebuilt, a monumental task, and that civilian deaths would be estimated up to 100 million due to famine and disease. After an EMP attack, or major solar flare, no vehicle with modern electronics would function. All transportation would grind to a halt along with the power. We'd be back in the stone age, only without the means to survive for most people. The issue of our vulnerability to an EMP attack has been raised several times in Congress, Newt Gingrich even wrote a book about it, Trump wrote an executive order demanding a comprehensive report to harden our infrastructure against EMP attack, but for some reason I am unaware of any serious effort to fix this glaring vulnerability in the two decades that I have been reading about it.
If what I have just written doesn't convince you to seriously prep, I don't know what will. Let's hope that it never comes! Take care.
20:17 for Power Stations
According to a former CIA agent that posts on YT, China has the ability to take down our grid with equipment on their satellites.
Can you share that link or channel?
Which channel? Thanks.
I appreciate you. Prior to watching all of your videos I was lacking knowledge. I can now make decisions and thats progress.
In CA yes the grid will go down during fire season.
Seeing it right now with the blackouts
That was a very good presentation video of what could happen and how to prepare. I am usually skeptical of most TH-cam videos and find a lot of fault in them, but you obviously did a lot of work to create this video. Thx HOBOTECH!
For me i would need a Power station with at least a 1200 watt inverter to run my microwave, and i prefer the Renogy suitcases because of the wind, they will not blow around and can be angled easily. Yes, they are MUCH heavier and larger, a downside.
Huge SAFETY RECALL on thousands of HONDA EU2000i and EU2200i and 'Companion ' generators. They can go on fire.
Watch out for many going cheap on Craigslist. My next door neighbor has a Yamaha unit and loves it.
Thanks for the straight talk about needing a small solar/gen set for shtf apartment living. I bought the Jackery 300/100 solar set on ur recommendation. I really like the set. Right size, light weight, just enough power. I would like to be able to plug one 100w panel into another for a parallel power for that extra power on cloudy days
You can buy a iGreely Y adapter and use two solar panels on the jackery 300

Tell her to start watching. She will change her mind!
??????? I already have solar for my house. Can I somehow connect my solar panels with the MaxOak Bluetti unit? Adapter????
The two systems are incompatible. In fact, if your solar is the typical grid tie it does you no good if the power goes out.
Now this is good stuff for me!....I appreciate it...you..Hobo and Will are my go to people on this!...thanks man!😊😊
Any idea if "solar generators" and/or solar panels would survive an EMP, either man made or from the sun? Should they be placed in a faraday cage?
Loading a propane truck requires an electric pump. Dispensers that fill barbecue cylinders and campers with propane also have an electric pump. No electricity = no propane fill ups. Grab some exchange bottles before they are gone in an emergency.
Lol I have 10! Thinking about more.
20 minutes in he finnaly talks about power banks.
Power station, battery, solar panel, 12 volt refrigerator, cables etc,,,,will you give me a loan?

Thanks...I got my Jackery 1000 today, I appreciate the discount coupon you provided. Looking forward to when I can get the Jackery SolarSaga 100 watt solar panels when they're back in stock again
You yack about nothing for over half of this video
Good information, thanks. My Jackery 1000 will be here in 2 days. I'll order a couple 100w panels too.
Your the Man,, I was just asking about the Bluetti 2400... So glad the testing is looking good so far...👍..
Great video. I’ve had the Bluetti on my Amazon wishlist. I’m a little north of you in Tempe. I have been preparing food storage so I don’t have to rely on a refrigerator in the event of a grid down scenario. I have two solar ovens and have been brushing up on those skills I learned in Girl Scouts over 50 years ago. I have about 8000 gallons of water storage for my garden but I can filter it if necessary. My main concern is if the grid goes down in the summer. I’ve done as much as possible to reduce heat gain but on 115 degree days like this summer, I can hunker down in the coolest room of the house but some additional cooling is going to be necessary. I normally keep the thermostat between 80-82 and have a few fans. I’m currently researching cooling options that I can power with a portable solar generator. Assuming I can keep the power station fully charged each day, I’m having a difficult time determining what the maximum wattage I should be looking at to run a portable cooler 24 hours a day. (I’m tired of doing math and secretly looking for someone to just tell me so I can devote my brain power to more fun stuff😅). So, if any of you solar whizzes out there care to help an old hippie lady out and do the math I would be grateful.
Dude can you just tell me whit h one is better
Thanks for all the information and advice. Scary days we are living with.
Well it is best to have a solar power source and have it charge by the free sun all the time.
But its also best to have and believe and have faith in God everyday Whose not allow any disaster happen, people cause pandemic and catastrophes not God, that I know for sure.
God be with us all. 😊🙏

I UNDERSTAND WHAT A SOLAR FLARE COULD DO TO THE ELECTRIC GRID - WHAT DOES A SOLAR FLARE DO TO SOLAR GENERATORS AND SOLAR PANELS
THANKS
Depends on the size of the flare. I answered this in several other comments.
Depends on your system ... The simpler the better ... Least electronics is best ... Induced currents and magnetic fields that short circuit and/or mess with programming are believed to be the highest risks ...
Look into Emp shield. Their devices also cover solar power.
As someone that works in power generation (nuclear) I am preparing to be sequestered on site theyre saying that probably wont happen, but I'm still getting ready for it.
@Drakilicious Life is about choices man, I chose this path. You chose that one, there's no need to be angry with that. I hope you are doing well and you make it through these trying times.
Thanks so much for the informative and fun videos. So I wondered if you can suggest a heater for the Jackery 1000. I am frequently in the teens in my Toyota Sienna Stealthmobile and I have a 500W ceramic heater but I also need to plug in other stuff. Would this be too much or will the 1000 handle it? Or could you perhaps give me suggestions for vanlife in super cold weather? Thanks again
So far over 5 minutes and nothing about the solar generators.

Power company forgive a bill? I won't hold my breath on that one!
Here's what I'm doing. We're building a battery array in my machine shed that is close to the master bedroom. a buried conduit takes the 120 volt power to an outlet labeled "Solar". I use an 8600 BTU window unit to cool the room and at night if you open the door it floods the whole house with cool air in the mornings. The Electric utility doesn't have to know anything about it as I still have my normal, but smaller electric bill, during the 4 hot months.

I have the 2400 and love it. Now I need to build up my panels. I got a really good deal on it at the time I bought it.
You are so correct sir!! Thanks for the info!
Amazon has Jackery 1000 for $999. Was the $799 a special sale or did Jackery just jack up the price since then?
The Palo Verde Nuk Grid runs from Arizona clear over to Texas. The High Lines would Spaze Out during a Solar Storm. That grid feeds most all of the South West.

Hi professor Hobo! Thank you for the information and advice on generator comparison!
Hi there, I'm watching now... but what are your thoughts on the Jackery 1500 power station ... vs the Jackery 2000 (twice the price) ... there are Black Friday deals (for the 1500 at $2200) and I'm not sure if this is good... or if Jackery is just over priced compared to a battleborn setup? I'm a noob.
Are you a judge? Maybe God is responsible cuz we are his children... Responsibility is not the issue... The responsibility is on the government but you KNOW they will NOT meet those responsibilities so you are ON YOUR OWN... Prepare or suffer the consequences...
I'm running my air conditioner off my aaa battery...
My mind boggles. If I want to power ONLY the largest 12V fridge I can fit in my ambulance conversion 24/7 and NOTHING ELSE, what portable solution must I buy?
2. Bluetti top tier naming and numbering is gettin confusing as hell. Aside from the monster, which is the largest one, second to largest, etc. with optimal (not minimum) panels in watts? Why not carry ONE 450 W. residential panel ($200) and lay it down instead of some huge number of "portable" 100 W folders? Thanks.
You babble on for 20' before addressing the subject.
Someone will try to steal your power station if the grid goes down.
I just wish I could afford any solar power station that can power something, being disabled I live on very little. It's nice to watch / dream about being able to afford one , some of these cost what I make in a month and then I still have to pay bills, no go for me just a fantasy.
I like watching your videos.
Tarl Speakman hey Tarl,
You really can, for sure I know it’s not easy, in fact it’s really, really hard, but even if you could just stick 10 bucks a week away, eventually you’ll get there.
I have a disability and have just bought an off grid cottage. It took me nearly 20 years to save the cash I needed, but I guess I just went slow and steady.
Good luck to you, you’ve got this!

Please test out the Titan solar power generator. so far it got great reviews, would love to see your opinion on it.
Several others have asked the same. It is on back order until at least May. It also weighs 70lb and cost $3k without solar. Not really accessible for most. If they send me one, I will review it though.
Planed on buying a Harbor freight gen. Think I missed that window. Supplies are DEPLETED.
great video. I am a new subscriber. I have a goal zero yeti and several 120w panels. will keep lights, coms and the fridge running. backup power is a big part of prepping and I think solar is by far the best.
If I have the Bluetti Maxoak 2400wh and 6 Renergy 100w panels, should I connect the panels in series, or would it better to connect 3 groups of 2 in parallel, and then connect those in series?
Just ordered the bluetti using yr promo code. Thank you. Hope to keep my 100 yr old mother and the rest of the small family ready for what appears to be a wicked summer. The sequestering will keep me out of the malls at least. Thanks again
Mr Hobo, this was one of the best videos on the subject I’ve seen as of late... great job... you really thought this one through. Well noted. From this video I’ve kind of decided on one.

Trying to justify purchasing the new Bluetti AC200P - when I get better acquainted with solar and make a few scratches on my new Jackery. Thanks Tom and HoboTech Crew for rocketing my knowledge and enabling my informed decision making. You are a real comfort in a world of chaos!
Now the electric company is raising the rates 4 times more on the bill I been paying $100.00 a month now I’m paying $400.00 a month they are ripping off their customers .
I'm so confused.
Watching my Product Review playlist should help.
@@HOBOTECH it should 😆 I'm going to have to watch a few times. I think i might go with the cheapest first until I start to understand. Anyways thanks I would be clueless w/o u.
💗I love you OK💗 solo female living mobile I get to skip all the bull&/$@ when I come here, proud subscriber 3 yrs now💃🏽
I bought a rockpal 350 generator and aco solar power and I was hoping plug and play. I had wires and the anderson cord wires were switched at plugs red and black wires. Frustration. How come its not standardized. Wires are too confusing. The panal would not hook up. I dont want to rewire. I want plug and play.
I want the 1000 hackery so bad.. But on Amazon they sale for one thousand dollars.. I can't afford that and plus buy two solar paniles.. Is there a way I can get theses at a lower price?
Here in Australia, we are far from spoiled for choice for portable power stations. Very little choice
Jackery vanished almost as fast as they popped up so is a non starter
Bluetti are here in Australia but………
The EB150 is available here at a wallet scary $1900.00AUD.
Bluetti also have the HUGE AC200P. This would set you back a heart attack inducing $2900.00AUD 😳. I would not invest in one of these. Far too hit and miss reviews-wise.
Itechworld are about the only Australian company I can think of that make pps’s of note here.
Some pretty serious $’s would be spent if living a full time van life is to be considered.
Lithium batteries, inverters, solar panels, portable power stations
$7000 AUD+ unless you want to live and underpowered van life existence.
The advice on these channels is invaluable I think
So like when a solar flare takes out the power grid can we really watch TV and who can we call on a cell phone? Just sayin
Not sure how high up on my wish list TV will be when power is gone for all.
The Bluetti 2400 Watt DC (solar) charge port shows 16-60 Volt max (10 Amp) input. (Open circuit voltage per spec sheet).
1. My solar panels show up to 64 volt (actual loaded) output for the first few minutes of production and are rated at 69 volts (open circuit). Is that safe?
2. If that is safe, can I put 2 panels in parallel to get wattage up to 2500 per day even though the peak combined output is as high as 650 watts?
I assume the charger circuit would still max out at the 10 amp limit even though the available amps may be 11 amps at peak sunlight?
does the Generark HomePower One AC charger make much noise, in decibels, like the HomePower 2 does?
Wow!!!! You are so knowledgeable! Do you have a genius IQ? Wow!
hey im surprised that you didnt say the jackery exp[orer 1500 i have that one and im waiting for the bluetti ed 70
My nephew had to live in a rv trailer at the Edison hub in Southern California for a couple of weeks the first year of the pandemic.
Thank you so much for doing the research for us. Hoping you are safe as well. Praying this pandemic will be over soon and we recover quickly.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Dude if the grid goes down, I will be bugging out sooner than later in my motorhome! I cant believe the living at the power plant news hasn’t been on your evening news yet!Thanks Professor Hobo AKA DR PREPPER!!!
"Dr Prepper". I like that!
How will you get gas or diesel fuel if there is no electricity to run the pumps at gas staions?
and what about land lines? Some of us still have them...
What about them?
@@HOBOTECH Your opinion - would they also stop working in a Texas-sized disaster?
@@averagealice8877 Land lines have their own power and should work under most conditions. However, if the power is down regionally don't expect them to work. Texas is having rolling blackouts so no doubt they selectively won't kill the power to telcos.
Going to buy an electronic device to use during a blackout, because a Solar Flare knocked out electronic devices. Seems counter intuitive.
A solar flare will affect your electronic power station too so electronics need to be shielded from natural/man-made damage in order to have functioning post-SHTF equipment.
Yeah, that's my line of thinking. Going to buy an electronic device to use in the event of a blackout because a solar flare wiped out electronic devices.
I got a question..
My possibly set up lifestyle would be...
Converted van being off grid for 6 days and then having electricity (outlets) for 24 hours on the 7th day...
All I need to run is a few basic fans ( I can even go disposable batteries) but I need to run a Domatic 28 or 35 liter fridge doing the day and then run my Cpac machine at night .
I would turn off the humidity and heat on it and in the morning hook the fridge back up on either the 1000 jackery or getting the 2400 bluejeti ?
So would the 2400 bluejeti do that for 6 straight days ??
Or would it be better to get the jackery 1000 too ?
If I did that I would have to wait to get (2) jackery 100 watt portable solar panels.
I really do like the quality of those solar panels and I know that only 200 watts won’t completely come close to charging both of them...
Any,
Thanks for your thoughts
Greg
If you want to go an entire week running a CPAP and Fridge with only 200w of solar then you better get the Bluetti 2400. I'd recommend at least 300w of solar for it from hobotech.tv/amazon/#Solar-Kits . The WindyNation, BougeRV, or any of the folding panels in series will do.
2 weeks later lights still on.
Excellent, thank you. Ordered one via one of your links. 👍
I thought this was a video about the best portable generators not the CV19. 🤷🏼♀️
