We will dig into why Ryan strongly dislikes whole home standby generators, when a larger generator actually makes sense, and how smaller inverter generators and portable power stations can work together … Continue reading →

When you talk about dehydrating food many jump right to the prepper angle.  And not just the common sense prepping angle we make part of lifestyle design at TSPC.  No the 500 buckets ready to ride out the zombie apocalypse kind of prepping. The truth though is dehydrating is likely mans oldest form of food preservation along with perhaps salting, which is honestly just another form of dehydration.  The reason is obvious.  First it works for many foods and all you really need to do it is sunshine during the dry season. Today though we have affordable and efficient machines … Continue reading →

Today we are joined by Dalton Bradshaw of New Candle Cottages to discuss off frame modular homes and whether they can offer a realistic path back toward the American dream of home ownership.
