Hi all,
does anyone one have any experience with a combined electric and gas fridge? That is, a fridge that takes both sources of power and electricity is the main power but the fridge reverts to gas if the electricity goes off.
there is a mob in tassie that makes them and I am curious on how efficient and effective they are. They could be good for when the so called forecasted blackouts occur.
Thanks

Filing cupboards may be good and cheap. But they aren't very strong. I keep spare hard drives and various important devices in a large fire proof safe.
Would a safe work as a good faraday cage?

Maybe that is why trump is stirring the pot for a war with nth Korea - in that, they can see or know of an imminent financial collapse so they want to start a war. Nothing like a good war to keep the economy going......

Hi all,
long time anonymous reader here who finally decided to join.
ok all, what are people's thoughts about turning a suburban home into a fortress?
the reason being, some of us cannot bug out to somewhere in the sticks. It just isn't feasible or practical. Likewise, a shtf scenario may come about very quickly and some not have the time to leave town, so to speak, and it may be safer and more beneficial to stay in.
ok, so with a 1000 sq/m block and a good suburban home, what you do to secure it?
my first thoughts would be to the following:
- get your neighbours on board,
- have a subtle system that doesnt draw attention,
- double glazed windows for strength,
- extra large rock gardens to prevent someone driving into your home,
- subtle/hidden camera system.
- water tanks, solar system etc
- if possible, have a raised house (not concrete slab house), build a secure bunker under the house
- maximum height colour bond fencing with some booby traps and hidden razor wire
- good dogs
etc
i do acknowledge that hitting the road to a specific location is preferable, but it just ain't sometimes practical. But if you had your wits about you, then how could you do it in the suburbs and what would you do?
