{"product_id":"off-grid-survival-systems-bible-cole-whitlock-9798174759367","title":"Off-Grid Survival Systems Bible: 30 Complete Builds for Water, Power, Heat, Food and Waste, with Measured Diagrams, Full Parts Lists, and the Three Ch","description":"Every build video ends at the shot of the thing working. This book starts there and keeps going.\u003cp\u003eYou can find a hundred tutorials for a rainwater system. Almost none of them tell you that brass valves burst before the pipe does, that the freeze comes on a clear night rather than a cold day, or that an air lock at a high point looks exactly like a dry spring from the kitchen tap.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat gap is what this book fills. Thirty complete projects across water, power, heat, food and waste, and every one of them carries two sections you will not find anywhere else: \u003cb\u003ewhat breaks in it\u003c\/b\u003e, with the season and the early warning sign, and \u003cb\u003ethree checks\u003c\/b\u003e that lead to the actual fault instead of a list of possible causes.\u003c\/p\u003eWhat is inside\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWater.\u003c\/b\u003e Roof catchment and first flush. Storage from barrels to a buried cistern. Slow sand filtration and disinfection. A gravity line that keeps its pressure. Freeze protection that starts at the valve, not the pipe. A batch solar water heater.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePower.\u003c\/b\u003e Sizing an array against December instead of the annual average. What belongs on DC. Building and ventilating a battery bank. The charge profile your controller is probably getting wrong. Running a generator as a charger. The standing loads that kill a bank while nobody is home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeat.\u003c\/b\u003e Stove and chimney to the published clearances. Firewood, moisture and a woodshed that dries. A rocket stove. A solar air heater. Getting heat out of the stove room and into the rest of the house.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFood.\u003c\/b\u003e A root cellar that solves the two-humidity problem instead of pretending it does not exist. A solar dehydrator. A solar oven. Canning off grid. Cold for almost no power. A smokehouse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWaste, site and buildings.\u003c\/b\u003e A composting toilet without flies or smell. A greywater line that survives winter. Choosing land, with the checks that happen before the money moves. Piers that do not tilt. A shed with a bench. Moisture in a building you heat only sometimes.\u003c\/p\u003eWritten to be used, not admired\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e56 measured diagrams\u003c\/b\u003e, drawn for this book.

In those three the book still tells you what happens in the node, what an owner may legally do, and how to judge the work when it comes back.
