Today’s episode, I talk all about On Demand Propane Hot Water Heaters. If you are planning to live odd grid or simi off grid then you will need a way to have hot water. There are a lot of ways to do this. Today I’m going to talk about the method I, and many others have chosen. Using a Propane On Demand Propane Hot Water Heaters.

I use the Eccotemp Luxé EL5 Portable Tankless Water Heater. In the past, I used the Ecotemp L5. When the L5 stopped working after 5 years, I went with the EL5. I wanted the digital thermostat on it to make sure the temperature wasn’t too hot for my daughter.

The biggest issue I’ve come across is something causing to slow down the water flow. That makes the water get really hot. I start with the easiest to get to spots then the harder to unclog areas.

Second Assassination Attempt On Trump | episode 239

Today I’m going to share my thoughts on the Second Assassination Attempt On Trump. You will note that the audio is much better in this episode vs the what you have been hearing. I preempted this special episode because of the events. After the audio will not be great again for a few episodes.

In many ways, I can’t believe I’m coming to you today to talk about a Second Assassination Attempt On Trump. The concept is mind-boggling. We have not had an assassination attempt in my lifetime before Trump. Regan’s attempt occurred on March 30th, 1981, 10, months before I was born.

To have none then two on the same person in a few weeks.

There are some odd things about this attempt like the other one. Ryan Wesley Routh, the attempted shooter was a nutjob. He went to the Ukraine to try to join the war effort. And when he couldn’t join the fighting due to his age he helped them recruit.

Before his social media accounts were scrubbed clean there was a lot that was saved. He was suffering from extreme Trump derangement syndrome. He super drank the Kool-aid.

Listen in today as I talk about my thoughts on the shooting attempt.

You will also find so many times when being able to pick locks saves the day. Instead of having to call a locksmith. Just having the mindset that you can defeat the lock will usually allow you to gain entry.

One time after my Mom passed away I was with my brother at her house and we found a lock box. She had either lost the keys or we couldn’t find them. I didn’t have my picks with me but I knew the lock was probably cheap. I went through my keys until I found one that fit inside the keyhole. Then I used a technique called lock bumping.

You jiggle the key around while turning it to try to set the pins. It worked on that safebox in seconds.

Should You Keep Green Beans In Your Preps?

Today I’m going to talk about should you keep green beans in your preps. I came across this topic in two places in the same week. I was in a Facebook survival group where someone posted about not storing green beans in your preps. The reason was that a whole can of them is only 55 calories. On the other hand, a can of peas is around 182 on average.

The concept also came up in a video on YouTube. The premise was that with inflation so high, you should store the bigger bang for your buck.

My first thought was don’t tell me what to store. And I don’t even like green beans. At one point I decided on never eating them again. So for me to come to their defense is pretty wild to me.

Listen in today on whether you should or should not be storing green beans in your preps.
