@Marthale7 Pretty much any carbureted vehicle can be converted to a points type ignition, which will not be affected. I personally think any old GM product with an HEI distributor would be quick and easy to get running with a simple module swap, if it’s even bothered at all. Any and all mechanical diesel engines will still run just fine too. So there are options.

Let me see if I can help. When you order hybrid seeds the seeds you get have been crossed with one or more other types of plants. So at minimum you have a+b to make the seed you get. Now it could be a multi cross a+b+c+d+e or a+b and c+d with those seeds call them g and h crossed again to give you the seed you ordered. But anyway the seed you get from those hybrid plants will usually grow just fine be they will not be the same as the tomato they came from. Hope that helps.

I have been very happy with my Renogy panels some are over ten years old and some are over five years old.

Dollar for dollar and the features they come with I found Aims inverters hard to beat. Been using them close to ten years now. Only place I might not want one is on a boat because of the weight.

BOTH They each have their place. Say for instance you need to stir a five gallon bucket of sheetrock mud or run a large holesaw you want a corded drill. For running in a bunch of screws or drilling smaller holes cordless. Grinders corded for a large welding job cordless for a bunch of quick cuts. Saws corded to frame / trim a house cordless to replace a piece of this or that. See what I mean they each have a purpose.

A nice greenhouse would make a huge difference in my ability to grow longer season items and possibly year round for my family and neighbors. We have been homesteading here since 2008.

Harbor Freight sells a bubble balancer that forks fine for standard tires. Maybe not the best for high speed IE: racing / speed rated tires.
-
Yeah! Unless you were working on another motorcycle tire.

Another way to pop a bead loose is to lay a board across one edge of the tire and run up on it with another vehicle.

We are using powdered bleach / pool shock from 5-10 years ago it works just fine. No telling how much money that five gallon container of powder has saved me since then. IIRC it was around $50 back then

You might want to add women’s sanitary products to your list. They work great for stopping up wounds. Tampons make a great hole filler to stop up a large puncture wound and pads work well on gashes, cuts, and things of that nature.

Good job that’s a smart move!

Here’s another little something I would be willing to bet most of you don’t have a way to handle. I did three tires today by hand.
Changing tires on the rims.
You need a couple tire bars, one of each type and a bead breaker minimum. I made my bead breaker out of scrap steel I had laying around a few years ago. A bubble balancer wouldn’t hurt any either along with an assortment of weights. Also some valve stems and patches. Tubes might not be a bad idea either.

We have been using solar hot water for several years now it’s great compared to other options when off grid.

You got that right.
Did you know you can weld plastic with a soldering iron and a zip tie? If it needs to be strong melt a little metal screen or steel wool down in the plastic as reinforcement.
