I'm starting small. Want to get off-grid the efficient way (lemmy.today)

I want only portable devices like solar, and hand-crank chargers. I want to be able to boil water, charge my Laptop and phone, run my induction stove for a few minutes thrice a day, want it rugerdized at some point, and want to depend on my equipment for day to day life as preparation for having no support.

How am I doing so far? Did I waste money?

Thank you! Seems quite useful to have at home. Though, I will ultimately have to assemble all-portable equipment, and make a bill of materials. Then estimate prices. This is purely because I want to encourage others. I want to start some sort of group to actively help people aquire a sort of kit for living independently.

You could probably build one that functions as a bike rack for a fully functional bicycle, similar to those work-out ones that reuse your real bike.

I have an actual bike, and we have some not so useful bikes here that are rusting. We can do something with them.
