ATTN fans and viewers - Evidence gathering and action thread
Related video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdGiL9Kg2Dk I have been a long time viewer and subscriber of Troys. I enjoy his videos. I have been roughly keeping up with the "troll issues" over the years but it seems those issues have went over into harassment, vandalism, and more. Troy doesn't see...

Re: Video idea
OutOfPlaceNinja The security camera I assumed he had but was only for security of the place. Would love that to be live. I understand the no sound but least it would provide a video for people who moan when Troy doesn't do a video and just works load. The quality would depend on the camera wouldnt ...

Re: Video idea
I think at one point he was going to put up "security cameras" which would be "live streaming". I would watch such from time to time but he never got around to it apparently. Probably some technical issue. I would be willing to help him however I can. The issue with putting a camera high up or at a ...

Ways of keeping warm (discussion)
Forgive me if this has been covered, I couldn't find it being covered and your search function is broken (no matter what I search for it says I'm using common words so it is ignored). With winter approaching I couldn't help but think about ways of keeping warm. There are actually many ways of keepin...

Re: Solar panels, charge controllers, and system calculation
So, talking about solar panels, let's talk about some costs. I have been looking around and solar panels are still pretty expensive. The cheapest I've seen is when buying them by the pallet, however unless you have a huge electrical demand, you would probably need to go in with others in your local ...

Solar panels, charge controllers, and system calculations
Other than battery banks being complicated, it seems figuring out how many solar panels you need to match your battery bank is also pretty complicated. Hence, this thread all about solar panels, solar panel wiring, and solar charge controllers. The battery bank thread is here . As in the battery ban...

Battery banks and bank size calculations?
It seems battery banks and calculating the size of and figuring out the wiring of battery banks for off grid solar setups is rather complicated. So here is a thread about it lol. The solar panel thread is here . I've been considering moving off grid electrically and the timeline is presently by next...

Re: 6 Volt Golf Cart batteries from Costco
I was wondering the same thing last night. I was looking into batteries and came to the conclusion that golf cart batteries may be what I should try first. I found the cheapest decently rated ones being at Costco for just shy of $100 USD each and right around 200 amp hours (20 hour rate) each. Due t...

Re: Troy's ~ Farm Fresh Omelet
Be sure to learn how to season it and care for it properly. If seasoned and cared for properly, you will love it. I only have one cast iron skillet but haven't had a chance to use it yet. I picked it up from a thrift store for about $5. I haven't had a chance to use it because I haven't cleaned it u...

Re: Winter is coming! Discussion for heating and insulating
So I figured I'd chime in (I could have put this in the original post but decided it might be better as a reply). Last year I heated with kerosene (insanely expensive). I averaged about $80 in the milder months and $200 in the colder months. Insanity considering I live by myself. The house wasn't ev...
