hi there

i came here via @rain-country latest video on her youtube channel

i am interested in all things homesteading, camping, wild-camping, bushcrafting, frugal-living off-grid-living to name but a few

my latest venture i am in the though to draft phase at the moment is to help folk in local and surrounding communities with things like medical-aids food clothing and all goods and services necessary for living as comfortably as possible

similar ideas to the Amish for their community and surrounding communities

to start with i am concentrating on portable solar-panel kits to keep folks medical equipment going if power gets cut off by planned-power-cuts in the UK of if they cannot afford the raised electricity prices

thus i am looking for an alternative to go-fund-me as we know they do non always play nice

if you have any ideas from experience please feel free to let me know

no-one will be left behind

[s]how do us new members start a discussion of our own rather than inadvertently derail others discussions…??

it seems i may be overlooking it on the desktop version[/s]

i eventually found it on the discussions tab

also

a suggestion

can we please have a night mode for desktop version as this brightness hurts my aged olde tired eyes…??

thank you in advance

i only have used well still in use one [1] inverter thus have no experience with others to compare with at this time

the one [1] i have is a cheap chinese canitu yet does the job i need at this time for running medical equipment with a 60ah car battery coupled with a cheap chinese claimed mppt charge controller [doubtful it is mppt] and a 50w solar panel

i know not ideal yet budget is very very tight these days yet cost less than £100 gbp all in

it is rated 12v ~ 240v 6000w

four [4] usb ports

two [2] 240v sockets

one [1] cigarette-lighter/utility socket

link to canitu uk ebay listing https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/304678762637

yes i also believe the 6000w rating in non correct

thank you kindly

i had to look up [public square] as i have non heard of it

is this the one you refer to…?? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.publicsq.app&gl=US

this one seems dedicated to the US

i had a quick look and can non find one [1] for the UK [need to do a deep dive at some point]

this is however an avenue worth looking into as i always try and keep options open
