    I found all of these infos fascinating, wondering if it's cool to send this to a friend off site, or provide them with a link to join the immediately be redirected here...
    What do you think?
    Looking for
    Power solutions
    Water solutions (running submersible pump to push water from a pond uphill to use for grey water purposes, washing, laundry etc)
    Capturing rainwater for drinking, purifying same
    Building rocket stove for use in a caravan
    Building a simple living structure from locally sourced renewable materials - on a budget
    Getting help for planting fast growing wood eg willow, hazel, etc for hedging, boundaries, coppicing for rocket stove firewood (twigs etc) and for useful utensils eh containers, mats, to mark seed rows, fire starter.
    Batteries - what's the ethics?
    What about embedded plastic bottles in the ceiling, with mild bleach in,  used as solar lamps?
    Powering up a caravan or small earth bender or wofati
    Solar showers
    Compost loo
    The lo consommation of this simple home energy solution is equivalent to 6 amp. I have that running at home, in a standard house, runs fridge microwave, led lights, phone charger and a TV/ video player. What's the next step for warm showers?
    Thanks for all the info, great post

    i clicked on the button to see what this promo was all about, it looks very interesting.  However, there a few things that have me worried.  The link on the big orange button points to power.duke1234.com when you go to just duke1234.com it redirects you to some random relaxing aquarium video.  when you go to power.duke1234.com, it takes you to a webpage where the top says Harris1234.com, but the site seems to be using the kartra.com CMS solution (this doesn't bother me, but re-directs in general don't make me feel safe).  Also the website does not look very trustworthy, it looks like a scam.  finally when on the re-directed Kartra site, i click on the button that says the video is sold for $17, but when i click on it, i end up in a checkout screen that says $37.  Can someone verify for me that this website it not actually out to take my credit card information and sell it to some creepy guy on the otherside of the world?

    Paul has worked with Steven Harris for many years, and Steven was really, really excited about his website and it's potential. The website still looks the same as when I worked with Steven to help with this promotion, so I'm assuming it hasn't been overtaken by someone on the other side of the world.

    I do very much understand your hesitancy about the website, though, especially with all the redirects. I know there's plenty of trustworthy sites that act like that, and I'm sure Steven's is one of them because I'm spoken with other's who've purchased his products in the past.

    Though, if you are still hesitant about the website, I understand. Thankfully, since we've been working with Steven for many years, he listed many of his videos here on permies in our digital market. One of those offerings has (as far as I can discern) almost all of the same content as his power.duke.1234.com site.

    You can find all of that same info, at the price of $17, here: How to Make Your Own Emergency Home Battery Bank. And, because I hate clicking urls without seeing them, here's the actual url: https://permies.com/w/emergency-home-battery-bank.

    You mentioned, "i clicked on the button to see what this promo was all about." Would you be able to tell me where you found that button? I think I changed all of the ads on permies to link to https://permies.com/w/emergency-home-battery-bank after our promotion with Steven Harris, but perhaps I missed one!

    Thank you!

    thanks nicole for the response, i feel better about the information presented.  when i made the statement "i clicked the button to see what this was all about".  I was referring to the big orange "order Here" button on this forum posting.  The way i found this post was through an ad that i received as a part of the dailyish email from within the last few days.  So I do not believe you missed any steps in assessing my issue.  Again thanks for the quick response.
