My dad was a scout master, and always taught me to be prepared.
From a very young age he would take me hiking and camping, and teach me survival techniques.
“Better to know them, and not need them, then to need them and not know them!” he would always say to me. Some years later dad got arrested for hijacking a truck, but I still remember his life lessons from back in the day. This is why I own my own rural property, and am prepared for any future issues. My heating system is the best on the market, and since I have my own dedicated power source separate from the main grid, it will never run out of power! If you don’t know how a geothermal heat pump works, let me briefly explain it to you the best that I can. I am not a scientist, but thankfully you don’t have to be, as any certified HVAC company will be able to install it for you and get it up and running. A geothermal heat pump pulls energy directly from the earth itself, which means as long as the world keeps turning, the power keeps coming. If worse comes to worse I can always build a fire to keep myself warm, but with my electric furnace and my geothermal heat pump that will probably never be necessary. I also will always have my lights, my kitchen appliances, and even my TV, without ever worrying about going dark or paying a utility bill, because the geothermal heat pump has me covered.
