I know where there is a whole field of solar panels. Gonna grab me a small pickup truck load of those, then some deep cycle marine batteries from the boat store.
We got one Radio Shack in my county. Dunno if they have all the parts to build a charge controller. Might just order a couple to have on hand. Possibility I could grab one from the place with all the solar pannels, but I dunno.
All kinna bags of grains from the feed stores. Oats. Birdseed, etc...
Prolly leave the gun stores alone. I'm sitting pretty in that dept. already A lot of feed stores also have some ammo. Most people are unaware of this. I'll grab what I can while I'm there.

I've been scoping out this dudes house. Think I'll hit it before society crumbles, or right after when he's out pilfering solar panels. Think he's got some weapons and birdseed, both of which will come in handy.

Cool, cool. Make sure you wear all your latest tacticool gear. Preferably stuff that's blood stain resistant, but whatever really.
What size boots do you wear?

I keep a mental list of which adjoining appartments and accompanying storage boxes I will empty out first. Im surrounded by appartments inhabited by single old ladies.
Im pretty much covered on everything I need if shit hits the fan

Going after people's stuff in an emergency is a good way to get yourself killed.

Guess I'll just have to settle for stealing non-birdseed items from you while you're out getting birdseed then.

All that anyone has to do is ask and I'll share.
It's not nice to take though. It's good to be up front.

A bunch of solar panels don't have a disconnect. You gotta be careful if you are cuttin wires and shit.

Actually, private residences are off limits for me. For one, I'm more likely to get shot doing that, but also, I don't want to make this crisis any harder for anyone. Solar panels hooked up to a dead grid aren't helping anyone. I can use them to pump water from my well, and provide it to people in my neighborhood, charge batteries, etc. If I had reason to believe that those panels were going to be put to good use somehow, I'd probably leave them alone. If the company were just going to stash them in a guarded warehouse until this all blows over, doing nobody any good, then I'll take all that I can carry.

This is true. I could probably get close enough to them now to get some idea how they're hooked up. Most likely, there is some kind of system to keep power from backfeeding into the panels at night, which is presumably when I would be grabbing them.

thats a distraction while i get away with the real prize, the bird seed, to stash it somewhere.
Its also bait for my tracking device so I can hunt you down and show you what happens when you take my non birdseed items.

Seriously, tho. Don't underestimate the value of birdseed. You can eat it. It will grow in even very shallowly tilled soil, and in the process loosen and condition the soil making it easier to prepare for other crops later. And you can use it as bait to attract other animals (birds and squirrels mainly) which you can then take out with a pellet gun.
Also, you might want to grab a bottle of glyphosate while you're looting the feed store.

Interesting choice. I've worked at several fast food places in my life, but I've never seen a water filtration system. Is that part of the soda system?
If it's just reverse osmosis, I can't see that being particularly useful, really.

Its next level multi filtered system Probably produces cleanest water around. Yeah it eventually connects to the soda system.

This is true. I could probably get close enough to them now to get some idea how they're hooked up. Most likely, there is some kind of system to keep power from backfeeding into the panels at night, which is presumably when I would be grabbing them.
I think panels work like DC diodes and then they go through an inverter and it's probably stepped up and goes into collector lines to a substation. I imagine there would be a disconnect at the inverter, but you probably need to cover it with a sheet and discharge it like a capacitor.
Depends on the size of the panel. I don't know much about them.
