No"grid electricity" makes you become very creative very fast. Questions like
"How do we do this now?"
Get answered fast or the idea is given up on even faster until a solution is found.
One obvious question is,
"What about lights?"
We have already conquered that a few summers ago by taping all our light switches down.
Obstacle - Lights
Solution - Candles, flashlights, oil lamps, book lights, even cell phones
We use a combination of all of the above, but rely on oil lamps and planning. If you want to collect wood and be able to see while doing it, better get it done before 5:30pm.
We have flashlights when we are looking for something in a closet or room where there are no oil lamps and even our cell phones if we can't find a flashlight close by.
We hope to get a crank flashlight soon so we don't have to rely on our batteries so much. We have solar panels, but haven't gotten everything we need to hook it all up yet. We will hook up LCD lights up to the solar panels and supply two lights into the camper, but we just aren't there yet and are enjoying how primitive everything is right now.
