The ridge pole, usually made of locally harvested trees or bamboo, is the central beam that holds up the tarp roofs that we use on most of our structures. I live in an off-grid intentional community, so there is always construction and repairs happening. This structure is being rebuilt after many years of use. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

Yeah, I understand that, we simply call this pillar a ridge. Tell me, how is your business with electricity, because a laptop and a router need to be powered, do you use a solar battery?
!CTP

Ah, OK! We are on an off-grid solar system with four batteries that works great most of the time, with a gas-powered generator as a backup on consecutive very cloudy days. Jungle electric! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

It turns out that civilization blooms and smells there :)
!CTP

It's a nice blend of nature and technology, though keeping the technology functioning under these conditions can be a bit of a challenge. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

As they said in the former USSR, a file, a hammer and a steel chisel work wonders :)
!CTP

Haha...it's true, and here too! We adapt and improvise all the time to do what we need to do! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

Based on the above, any adaptation is a correctly used file in the right place and with the right force :)
!CTP

Yep, indeed! You'd be amazed at the things that can be substituted for others in times of need! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

I agree, it is important that it would be possible to quickly repair equipment in case of failure, batteries have an expiration date, and solar cells can gradually fail, how do you solve such problems, or have you not encountered them yet?

!CTP

Indeed! We have failures in one thing or another all the time. The jungle eats everything in time. The community purchases items as needed. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

So is there any sign of civilization on the island? I mean shops, pharmacies... mail delivery service and so on :)
!CTP

Yes, indeed. Our nearest town is about 30 minutes away by vehicle, so not far. Pāhoa is the closest, then Kea'au, and Hilo is just a bit beyond that. We used to have mail delivery out here, but no longer. Now we have to go into Pāhoa to get our mail. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
