you ever wake up and you're too tired to do much? yeah we both had that today. but hey, a man in a rush does not see the edge of a cliff before it's too late and slow progress is better than stagnation.

got the seats out half of it is painted.
while it is a short bus, the title says it's a cargo van so it goes both ways.
one day a week of work is still pretty fast.

first day working on the van for me

not trying to get it all done in a short time. I want to make sure I get it right and we got other stuff to do that ain't the van.

I got the date right.
took a while and it'll take a bit longer but I got my van so I can go van life and it'll double as a bug out vehicle.

not enough juice to keep anything more than the laptop running. but 5 days is still excellent considering the panels are never in full sun.
comment any health advice in the comments.

generators are charged, let's see how long I can run my stuff on them.

mistakes were made

beginning of day 3. still running on solar and the panels aren't even at a good angle for sunlight.

jackery 1500 is here, still waiting on the solar saga 100 panels.

price of wood went down so I made a few
changes. setup is different enough that it's worth a new video and everyone gets to see the baby cat.

cat calming diffuser and slight setup change.

storage tips and ideas for now and for the future

shelves (i needed 4 of these)

food, power, water and books just in case power goes out, also good for saving money or worst case situations.
not as eloquent as i would have liked but i think i made sense. if you know what to do when poor you'll be better off, if you only know how to be rich you might be screwed depending on situation.

notes from screen:
my weight 132.80 kg/292.7739 lbs weight matters because if you store calories on you, you won't need to worry as much about calories in the pantry (don't overdue it morbid obesity is not going to help during any situation)

walmart mac 286 boxes, $2/5 pack built up over 4-6 months

walmart canned chicken $23.52 for 20 cans (24 now)

walmart canned tuna $11.36 for 4 4packs (24 now)

boyardee at walmart $17.60 for 20 cans
bayardee at DG $8 for 8 cans now total of 28 cans.

$4 for 4 cheddar rice bags

1.5 tubs of coffee (price unknown) bought 2 and got some different bags from a friend that i mixed into 1 of the tubs. should last at least a 12-18 months.

6 gallons of hawaiian punch at walmart $1 or $2 each

11 gallons of water same price as punch becuase that's what i store it in

a few months worth of cat food. about $15 at walmart.

DG cans go bad in 2023, the rest of the cans go bad in 2024.

on mac alone i can go until about february 2022
cheap prepping done easy, just rotate it so you eat the oldest stuff before the new. no rot that way.

solar generators, food and water and a potato pot because you can't argue with a potato.
update: the pocket solar battery just died. about 12 hours of run time for the light so good deal.
