"How does one arm a cow? Bovine have no fingers: I am alone..."

LOL, and agreed! I have a place out in the middle of nowhere and off of the grid. There's only one road from the nearest big city (which is very far away). ...not to hide from any disasters but just to live in peace and away from the rat race.

...tried to find a simple, manual, outdoor switch for a generator to fill the cistern from the well and charge batteries, until we get the solar systems built. I'll have to buy it locally, because the search engines were clogged with hits from online stores with transfer switches for suburban grid tie systems.

I can't relate to the subtle panic going on in the cities, and neither can my ruminant neighbors (including cattle, yaks, buffalo, antelope, goats, elk, deer, etc.).

You have a cistern? What are you, a Hick? lol...

I don’t have one, yet... I am jealous... you ROCK!

The danger to you all is if something happens, the first thing the City people do is “head for the hills”...

Beans, Bullets, Bandages, Blankets, Bibles....
