Comment: I didn't know the video would embed.

Also, I did provide a link to the "monolithic water filter" that I was happy to find on cheaperthandirt.com. I bought two of them. They're a whole lot less work than trying to get by with a backpackers' H2O filter. I figured the other stuff was easy enough to find.

My reason for the video link re the generator was so you could see how quiet this one is. If there's an extended power outage the quiet is good theft protection. I ran mine hooked up with a heavy chain that ran into the garage, under the closed garage door, and had it hidden from street view by a parked vehicle. If any thief desperate for a generator was to cruise the neighborhood during an extended power outage they would probably neither see nor hear my generator. Believe me, there were plenty of noisy generators running around the neighborhood that drowned out any noise made by my quiet one.

A warning to first-time generator owners. YOU RISK DEATH if you either run your generator indoors (for theft protection or whatever), even in the garage, or you try to plug it into your house wiring system without an approved and expensive switch box so that can be done safely. You could asphyxiate yourself with odorless carbon monoxide or electrocute a neighbor or a power line worker by doing these things. Without the approved switch use only extension cords directly from generator to lights and appliances.
