And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Since we know you can't depend upon FEMA, depend upon yourself. Be ready.
I have one of these, and it is excellent. It was the only generator on the market that had enough power and a true enough sine wave to run the charger on my Polaris Kinetic side-by-side. It is very heavy, though.
I had a similar generator when we lived in the woods in Pennsylvania. It certainly proved its worth virtually every time the wind blew, knocked down trees and we lost power. The worst loss was Hurricane Sandy where we went 14 days without electricity. If you do get one, be sure to have an electrician wire a separate box so you can easily turn off the regular circuits and transfer to power coming into the house.
It's a transfer switch of which you speak. Required in many locations, which means a permit and inspection are generally also required and most electricians won't bootleg an installation in order to protect their contractor's license.
I just purchased one, there is a Tri-fuel version. Seems to work fine, not too noisy.
ReplyDeleteTri-fuel ? What's the 3rd one? Having multiple fuel sources is a great set of options....
ReplyDeleteAh. Gasoline, Propane, Natural Gas.

DeleteJust put a Harris sign in front of your yard, people will PAY you to take them off of their hands. FEMA will lavish you with gifts.
ReplyDeleteBuy one before the Trump tariffs kick in.
ReplyDeleteNeighbor has a Generac and the repair guy is out here about every 3 weeks.
ReplyDeleteLost power for four days or so with Milton and only about 1 in 6 houses around me had generators.
ReplyDeletePropane works fer me- easier to refuel an' it don't stink like gas (oline).
ReplyDeleteIf I had my generator 2' off the ground, it'd be working after Helene's storm surge flooded my house.
