Since my last post we lost power for 5 days from the Helena flood. I was not in the flood but only a 1/2 mile away so no electric or water for 5 days. We got by with my 4KW of EcoFlow batteries and a 2KW Honda generator. Used about 20 gallons of gas. I would run the house and charge the batteries during the day with the generator and run on the batteries during the evening and night. Since then I have added another 4KW of batteries so I could go 10-15 hours on battery if I'm careful and depending if I need the furnace. I also upgraded to an easier and safer way to connect into the house system, all manual. I also upped the amount of both drinkable and flushable water I keep on hand. We seem to lose power and or water for a couple of hours every month or so or I might not be as paranoid.
