Portable Power Supply
I am using this unit right now - if you are interested, wait until it goes on sale in the spring. This is my 3rd in 25 years - you are supposed to top up the power periodically, and I neglected to do that with the other models.
I have powered a satellite dish and TV for an entire hockey game without totally depleting the unit.
Compressor works well to pump up a mattress.
I camp off grid often, and this has been good for me.

Thanks to all who turned out for training on Sunday. If you are interesting in getting involved, come out on Saturday afternoon and have a look at what the instructors will be doing with a fellow in a sit ski - pilot and guard.
To find out more about the program, contact People in Motion - below.
The most rewarding volunteer work.

Highway 3 in Keremeos closed by rock slide that impacted local RV Park; 25-30 people evacuated - Penticton News: UPDATE: 3:32 p.m. The Regional District of Okanagan Similkameen director responsible for Electoral Area G, rural Keremeos, says no one was hurt in the rock slide late Monday morning but a tactical evacuation has taken place for the RV Park while further assessments are made.
Snow Layers - Thanks Paul W.
Photo is from the roof of Paul and Lesley's Sauna

"When I shovelled my sauna roof last Friday I checked the
layers to see what was there.
The sticks indicate a porous layer easy to slide, and the
pink tape indicates ice layers that are well connected to the rest of the snow.
The height is 4 ft. which is not the full snowpack since the location is the
roof, affected by wind."
Power line issues...........
Two bucket trucks were back up on Tin-Horn at 2:30 this morning, and I am now aware of 3 cabins and one utility building with power service pulled away at the building, which requires them to get an electrician as well as Fortis to reconnect.
The recent weather conditions are not common, but I do recall similar challenges at least twice before - one in particular in November around 1984.
One member of our FireSmart group had discussions last fall with Fortis regarding the removal they do of dead trees that may be a threat to the power lines. This series of outages has cost Fortis a lot of money in overtime, and I would expect that they would be more than willing to sit down with us at some point to see what can be done.
The map I was given when I purchased my leased lot in 1973 does not show the upper half of the village. My original street side corner pins were moved to widen the road allowance. My front corner pins are actually on top of the bank, set back a bit. It may be worth discussing removal of trees that appear to be on private property, but are actually on strata common property. The lots behind mine have corner pins that are below the road.
Something to think about after the SGM.
