Creating this as a quick log.

Tools

Knives

Electronics

  • Anker 26800mAh battery I keep this topped off with solar, then charge ANYTHING off it.
  • Thermocube plug thing that turns on at 35', turns off at 45' (only powers heater when needed): Or, on at 78/off at 70, fan. $13 (Ep #8)

Radio

  • Baofeng BF-F8HP Being able to communicate without grid power/internet is important, and worth $60. I have and recommend a handheld Baofeng; they are programmable so that you can set the frequencies of local repeaters, and have these handy in an emergency/grid-down situation. (Ep #16)

Books


Crops

Mushrooms

Gardening

Indoor Growing

Aquaponics

Hydroponics

  • Dyna-Gro - Foliage - Pro 9-3-6 -- has everything + trace minerals plants need; minimal maintenance required, I get fantastic results. You can find hyper-customized, plant-specific nutrient blends, but this is economical from my standpoint. At least while we can just buy the stuff...

Lights

LED

Grow Boxes

Reflective Material

  • Reflectix -- has an r-value of 24. Is thicker, tougher than mylar; kind of like a shiny bubble wrap:
