Engineer775, founder of Practical Preppers, sharing real-world projects in energy, water, and sustainable living.
I started this channel back in 2008 to share what I was learning about renewable energy, water systems, heating, cooling, and self-sustainability. What began as building out my own homestead and documenting projects and ideas eventually grew into Practical Preppers®, LLC, which I founded in 2012.
Today, we design, install, and supply grid-tied, off-grid, and renewable energy systems for homes, farms, and businesses across the country.
My goal hasn’t changed — keep learning, keep building, and help others do the same. Everything I share here is tested in the field first so you can see what really works.
