Preparedness and Survival / Re: Dehydrating

Good use of the dehydrator.  Some of that dried fish with poi and I am all good. :thumbsup:

I busted out my dehydrator after a year and did a couple batches of turmeric to make into powder a few weeks ago.  Today I finished drying out papaya seeds with the dehydrator.  Been trying to preserve seeds in case the lights go out and don't come back on or just in case any other SHTF situation arises. LOL

Preparedness and Survival / Re: Anyone own a handled thermal device?
« on: January 27, 2017, 10:09:12 PM »
I came across the FLIR TK Scout a few months back.  Looks like a really good deal.  Wish they made this model a few years back. . . I would have picked one up.  I think it would be perfect for Hawaii since everything is compact.  Can't beat FLIRs quality.

When my business was doing well a few years ago, I was able to purchase several thermal and night vision devices.  I don't have that luxury anymore.  I own the FLIR Scout TS-32, FLIR BHS Command with mid-range lens and the L3 Thermal Eye.  All are handheld units.  Love the FLIR units.  Excellent resolution and distance detection.  Simply amazing.  I do not really care for the L3 Thermal Eye unit.  It is just not in the same class in my opinion.

I own a Aramasight Zeus 7 thermal rifle scope.  Really awesome piece of equipment.  You can ID and detect animals / humans / vehicles a long ways out. 

Either way it is very difficult to hide from thermal devices.  Awesome for hunting!  Detects heat signatures both during the day and night.  Force multiplier indeed if SHTF.  Unlike night vision where it can only be used at night.

I own a couple PVS-14 Gen3+P monoculars and a few night vision rifle scopes.  Both are as clear as seeing in the day time.

Both have their uses especially in SHTF.  The PVS-14s can be helmet mounted and thus hands free while you run and gun.  Thermals can be used for early detection especially from a far distance.

Completely agree with what Surf posted.  Just wanted to share a few quick thoughts.

Preparedness and Survival / Re: Portable Generator's

I purchased a Yamaha 2400 iSHC with propane conversion kit for my business. I have a telecommunications business and this inverter generator is perfect for sensitive electronic equipment like computers while having the ability to run a large freezer and large refrigerator.  With this set up, I have the ability to use gas, propane and natural gas.  The unit is quiet and easy to maintain.  I loved it so much that I just purchased a Yamaha 3000iSBE two weeks ago.

Just in case anyone is interested, I purchased it here locally from World-Wide Industrial.  The guy is certified by Yamaha to install the propane conversion kit.  It does not affect the warranty.  They deliver to your door, walks you through starting the generator with the propane kit (he brings a tank of propane with him), and shows you how to maintain the unit.

The owners name is David, really nice guy and Carol works in the office.  Its a mom and pops local business.  Great customer service.

In a SHTF situation, gas may not be available but if you have a gas grill, you can always hook your propane tank to your generator.  I keep three propane tanks full at all times.  Its a lot more stable to than keeping gas in a can.  If you do you gas,  you want to use Ethanol FREE gas in your generator.  Ethanol gas ruins your seals and gunks up the lines.  Propane is easier on the generator than gas.  It will run cleaner.

Just wanted to add my 2 cents in hopes it would help someone.  I did months of research before I chose a try-fuel generator.  Good luck with whatever you choose.
