Quite possibly the best preparedness site in the world.
There were several reasons for the switch:

Water bottle batch water heater.So here's the plan. As you all know, we try to re-use everything instead of buying new. Using materials that we have sitting around, we're planning on making a small batch water heater. A batch water heater takes a finite amount of water (in this case 4 gallons) and heats it. Because there's no intake water source you have to refill it from time to time, thus it heats batches of water. To make this, we're going to use some old wood we have lying around, aluminum foil, a black plastic garbage bag, a piece of Plexiglas and 4 1 gallon water bottles connected by aquarium tubing. Here is a diagram of what it should look like.

How I testThere are several people on various
newsgroups and discussion areas that waylay in uninformed or those just
starting out in the off grid world of self power generation. This involves
an almost religious belief in a phantom 6v golf cart true deep cycle
battery that is superior in every way to any other battery in existence.
