Today, I need to sit down and re evaluate the areas I can increase my sovereignty.
I'm realizing I have lost that clear vision, and have started to view maintaining, or improving what I've already build as progress. It isn't.
Its just maintenance.
I need a clear established path toward greater sovereignty.
Going to look at winter power generation as an area for advancement.
Energy is where Iโm lacking the most for sure
It takes ALOT of thought, and effort.
I dont blame anyone for being slow to step into it.
There are ways to just throw money at it, that work, and are worth it to some.
I have to take a different path.
Bring back water wheel engineering!
Iโd be interested to know what you develop.
I have two 4kwh (roughly) 24v batteries i built using 3.6v Lithium Iron Phosphate cells shipped i ordered from China.
I built a basic solar system using some lightly used 36v panels I got for way below value. It generates enough in the summer and early fall. I need a micro-hydro supplemental.
i came to the conclusion that energy storage needed to be solved first.
The longer your time horizon, the more you have to shift focus to productionโthat is, putting together plans and systems for acquiring goods over time.
I lived off grid with no electricity but propane for years. Sovereignty grew for me by letting go of amenities. So much freedom is lost to things that are nice but not necessary.
