Here’s another great tutorial from Jeff Yago on the “backwoodshome” web site – this time he gives us the lowdown on setting up a solar powered outside light that can be sited just about anywhere! The link follows after our introduction to the topic.
This light could be perfect for outbuildings, sign lighting, parking areas and statues or monuments. The tutorial has clear diagrams and gives explanations of the component parts you’ll need with tips on how to align the solar array correctly.
Siting a solar system is the number one factor – the panel needs to be clear from anything that could block or reduce the amount of sunlight it receives. Battery choice is important as well, especially for a lighting system that depends completely on stored energy for night-time use.
Deep cycle or “deep discharge” batteries are specifically designed for this purpose but there are differences in quality – some are designed to be discharged more fully than others! Generally, they will last much longer if not discharged more than 50% but make sure to do your calculations to save having to replace the battery too often.
Most of the solar panels on the market are the “crystalline wafer” type – these are quite bulky but more efficient than the newer “thin film” solar modules, which are more durable and flexible. Solar is a growing industry in recent years so the technology for panels and batteries is likely to improve in the future. A lot of recent development of thin film panels is taking place in China so they could overtake the conventional type within the next few years.
There is an important point made about the need to make off-grid electrical systems as efficient as possible – this will reduce the size of both the photovoltaic panels and batteries that you’ll need!
Low energy lights such as sodium, fluorescent tubes or LED’s are the most efficient and larger gauge copper wires, as short as possible, will lose less power. The reason for this is simple – low voltage systems carry a larger current and the power lost is equal to the resistance of the wires multiplied by the square of the current.
Larger wires have much less electrical resistance so they don’t turn precious electricity into heat (don’t forget that wire gauge numbers reduce as the diameter increases). Commercial solar powered lighting kits are now widely available if you don’t feel able to tackle this DIY project yourself so it’s easier than ever to go off-grid!

This Crazy Off Grid Device Literally Makes Drinkable Water From Fresh Air:
According to NASA, the U.S. is expecting a 100-YEAR LONG MEGADROUGHT.
It's already begun. Ask the farmers in California. They know.
Every survivalist knows that water is of critical importance. You NEED an independent water source that you can count on!
As an interesting "survival rehearsal" - imagine that you turned the tap on right now and nothing came out. How long would you last?
But what if there was another water source literally hidden in plain sight. That's right, I'm talking about the atmosphere!
The amazing thing about getting water from the natural moisture in the air... is that it is ALWAYS available.
This gives you real water security!

� What Tinnitus Does To Your Brain Cells (And How To Stop It)
After 47 years of studies and countless brain scans done on more than 2,400 tinnitus patients, scientists at the MIT Institute found that in a shocking 96% of cases, tinnitus was actually shrinking their brain cells.
As it turns out, tinnitus and brain health are strongly linked.
Even more interesting: The reason why top army officials are not deaf after decades of hearing machine guns, bombs going off and helicopter noises...
Is because they are using something called "the wire method", a simple protocol inspired by a classified surgery on deaf people from the 1950s...
Most People Don't Have The Guts To Try This:
An amazing discovery in an abandoned house in Austin, Texas: A lost book of amazing survival knowledge, believed to have been long vanished to history, has been found in a dusty drawer in the house which belonged to a guy named Claude Davis.
Remember... back in those days, there was no electricity... no refrigerators... no law enforcement... and certainly no grocery store or supermarkets... Some of these exceptional skills are hundreds of years of old and they were learned the hard way by the early pioneers.

We've lost to history so much survival knowledge that we've become clueless compared to what our great grandfathers did or built on a daily basis to sustain their families.
Neighbors said that for the last couple of years Claude has tried to unearth and learn the forgotten ways of our great-grandparents and claimed to have found a secret of gargantuan proportions. A secret that he is about to reveal together with 3 old teachings that will change everything you think you know about preparedness:

What REALLY Happens When You Bury a Shipping Container? (Hint: It's A Bit Crazy...)
Shipping containers are all the rage - but if you are thinking about buying one, you MUST watch this video first:
Do not, I repeat do NOT do what these lunatics did! Can you spot the "fatal mistake" they made?
There's a general belief that if you bury a shipping container you can create an awesome root cellar / storm shelter / survival bunker.
But is a shipping container strong enough to handle the pressure?

I Can't Help Showing This Off:
If you haven't heard of Claude Davis yet do yourself a huge favor and watch this video.
One of the smartest guys I ever had the pleasure of meeting, Claude set-up a unique prepping system that changed his life forever.
I already tried it myself and let me tell... you I was completely blown away... His surprising tactics could make your life easier and give you the peace of mind you deserve.
Don't just take my word for it... watch his short video and decide for yourself.
