RE: Prepping to Build a Homestead: 8 Forms of Capital
You can also hand drive wells for your crops bear in mind you can only pull water up with a typical hand pump 23 feet at max.
Also when you build your forever house put a twelve volt panel in too. Like an RV has. You can run high efficiency led lighting off 12v and recharge batteries with solar pannels. Other than Led lighting not many appliances run well on 12v.
Thanksbthese are good ideas. I thought I would build a hybrid type home, wired for both voltages.
I think we can find an efficient pump that runs on gas or solar?
