u/ShakeproofLA · 39 pointsr/LosAngeles

Hi, I run a business called ShakeproofLA and what I do is set people up to get ready for The Big One.

To set the stage, you have to understand that Los Angeles has, historically, had a major earthquake every 100 years, but right now we haven't a big one since 1857 when a 7.9 struck Fort Tejon.
So, add that extra 60 years to the amount of tectonic pressure that will be released when it finally does happen.

Now, what I'm going to say will scare the shit out of people, but here it is: When the next major quake hits LA it will be a major, major catastrophe. Thousands of people will die and the damage will be counted in the tens, if not hundreds of billions of dollars.

The water mains will break. The highways will crumble. The gas lines will erupt and fires will break out all over the place. It's estimated, worst case scenario, that 1/3 of the city will burn down, partially due to the broken water mains. If the earthquake is during a heatwave, those problems will be compounded.

The dust and smoke and pollutants (asbestos, etc) thrown up by the quake will cause further health problems down the line as well.

Downtown, all the glass in the buildings will break and fall. Except glass doesn't fall straight down, it floats down like a leaf, meaning that it will be thousands of razor blades slicing across the street. The fire department thinks there will be up to 10 feet of broken glass in the streets afterwards. Moreover, some 1/3 of the buildings in downtown could collapse, including many of the skyscrapers which were build using flawed construction techniques, during the 60's and 70's and 80's. Many of those same buildings are packed with asbestos, much like the World Trade center.

Scary AF, right? Well, I have a motto: "It's absolutely going to happen, so don't worry." All you can do it get prepared.

As the freeways will be out, there's basically going to be no leaving town. More likely than not, you will have to shelter in place. That being the case, you will need supplies.

Here's a list of ABSOLUTE NECESSITIES for you to have on hand. It's only a few hundred bucks and it very well could be the difference between life and death.

What I have listed are only suggestions and I'm not endorsing any particular brand over another. If you find something that does the same job for cheaper, great.

Food
Have at least 2 weeks supply of food above and beyond what is kept in the freezer and/or pantry. Below are some options, but feel free to search around and find the best price/amount for you and your family

Food Option 1
Food Option 2
Food Option 3

Radios
Emergency Radios are a must-have and the wind-up type, with a flashlight cover multiple bases at once.
Radio Option 1
Radio Option 2


Water
These jugs are available at any local Home Depot and will last for 5 years in storage. Do not store on concrete floors at it will leech, instead store on wood, cardboard or carpet only. You want one jug per person per week. Additionally, if you have a hot water heater, wait until it cools and use that. Be aware that the first water that comes out will be mostly mineral silt, so be sure to run it through a coffee filter.

The Lifestraw allows you to drink any gross water you find.

If you have an outdoor grill, great. That's your cooking platform. Make sure you have extra propane. If not, get a camp stove.

Honey Buckets
You're going to need a place to poop, right? Get a honey bucket, or get hepatitis. Your choice.

First Aid Kit

DUST MASKS
I can't emphasize enough for people to buy these. N95 is the standard you want, as it will filter most pollutants. Buy these and don't get mesothelioma later in life.

Towelettes

Power Station

And the list continues. Have a car kit ready, consisting of water (I like VOSS water, as it's in glass, a couple Clif bars, a hat, sunblock, and old pair of walking sneakers and a space blanket. And dust masks. Don't forget those.

Fill out a FEMA Emergency Plan. and you'll really know where to go and who to contact in an emergency.

And that's the basics. Two weeks of survival supplies and FEMA will be on the scene, hopefully and roads will be open enough to get out of dodge.

Another good idea is to strap your furniture and TV to the walls, into the studs. I'd provide a guide, but that's my job, y'all.

I'd consider looking into the Goal zero Yeti line of portable battery/power stations, which have built in inverters for hooking up to solar.

They can charge up either via the wall or from a solar panel. They're pricey, usually $500+ but you have the flexibility of a standard wall charger or solar out that, so if it's a sunny day and you need to run this all day you can hook it up to solar.

https://www.amazon.com/Goal-Zero-400-Rechargeable-Generator/dp/B06WVDG9BS?ref=ast_p_ep

They range in price from like $200 (low power) up to $2000+ (high power, used in construction applications, can power fridges, etc).

u/PicklesCx · 3 pointsr/AsianAndy

I recommend he buy an Goal Zero Yeti portable battery and a 12v kettle for his MRE's. He can use the Yeti to run the kettle and charge everything at once as it has USB's and a wall outlet 110v and a 12v car outlet. It even has a solar panel input you can plug a solar panel into. https://www.amazon.com/Goal-Zero-400-Rechargeable-Generator/dp/B06WVDG9BS

Here is a 12v kettle he can use so it takes less electricity than a regular one.

u/ThePunchList · 3 pointsr/OffGrid

Thanks for the quick response. This was the Yeti I was looking at and here's the EcoFlow. I think their new generations are all LIB.

My current generator has been this inexpensive gas Sportsman. I usually don't even fire it up until evening and I rarely run through more than 3/4 of a tank of gas a night. It works perfectly except the noise.

My goal was to have something simple I could just plug into the 110V wiring and power the lights and maybe run the TV for a couple hours a night. The cabin is all windows so light during the day isn't needed.

I was more concerned that there is so much wire running through the cabin the power source would drain pretty rapidly due to the length and diameter of the internal wiring. The above comments make it sound like that would likely not be an issue.

I’d look into the GoalZero products. We use a Yeti 400 battery for our off grid yurt (https://amzn.to/2IAk0YV), along with 180W of solar to charge it. It takes around 6 hours of direct sun to charge, it seems. If you’re in AK or Canada in summer, sun obviously isn’t hard to come by.

I think our battery is 33ah, so if you’re trying to do big watt draws like a karaoke machine you might want one of their bigger batteries. We only use the 400 to run LED lights and charge computers.

The up front cost might seem intimidating, but it’s lithium and you get the convenience of a plug and play battery-inverter-controller all in one.

u/daewootech · 1 pointr/TeslaLounge

not sure what the recharge rate is but i would imagine unless your directly tethering to the terminals then you would be limited to the fuse amperage, typically like 15 amps on a cigarette plug i think?


back on the main topic, maybe something in this article might help? https://teslatap.com/articles/12-volt-battery-compendium/ they dont mention exact rates that i saw but it says "

>The Gen 2 DC-DC converter in the refreshed Model S accepts 220 to 430 VDC at 15 amps, and outputs 9 to 16 VDC. When outputting 12 VDC, it can deliver about 200 amps.
>
>The Model 3 integrates the charger and the DC-DC converter into a single package, the PCS (Power Conversion System)

​

IMHO i would just invest in one of those Portable power stations from the likes of Jackery, Anker or Goal Zero especially seeing as how the replacement battery is going for about $500 on Amazon.

He's gonna need a few of https://www.amazon.com/Goal-Zero-400-Rechargeable-Generator/dp/B06WVDG9BS/ these with solar panels if he plans on streaming for 3 days in the middle of nowhere.
