Howdy, went to school for auto, diesel etc. Decided I'd like it more as a hobby and started working on a big potato farm, just kinda rolled with it I guess, been 12 years ago already.
i want to go into electronics as well so i could set up a couple of solar panels
Solar panels are not to complicated
Really its almost plug and play now.
Diesel techs have a hard job man. I would not enjoy working on giant trucks.
lol
yup, stuff is heavy
i also want to try my hand at possibly producing energy with a waterwheel in a river
sounds like a good idea.
Solar panels are fine
I wonder how much wattage you could produce with many wheels.
My family home is off grid
It just costs a lot of money to get all the material
equipment
i'm a bit worried with solar panels because it might rain a lot in washington/oregon
for instance we have three tons of lithium batteries
doesn't matter
sollar energy goes through rain
oh ok
but if you can
or a stream
yeah definitely
and just get some hydro power
that would be power all year round
unless it freezes over
easy to get water + build a primitive dam + water wheel
you don't need a dam
a dam is bad if you want to fish
yeah true
Yeah damming rivers is a huge project that takes a lot of study
and it's often bad for the land
you don't want to fuck up your landbase
Yep usually
true true
Check out a place here called Muskrat Falls in labrador.
a big part of the new communities should be about the respect of your land, as well as the respect of your people
it's really a shame that urbanization has caused us to lose many essential skills for survival
they're not too hard to learn though
Its up to you to learn them friend
