Disadvantage:
- High Drug Use, and High welfare and unemployment at least in the east TN, with many folks just milking the government and down right lazy and not wanting to be an active worker in society.
Advantage:
- Many Natural Resources and a abundance of edible plants and large amounts of wildlife.
Large game including:
deer, turkey, lots of small game throughout State.
deer, turkey, black bear, hog, and even a small population of elk (200+ now), all in the Eastern TN area.
Disadvantage:
-if you have allot of seasonal allergies TN can make things worse, if your in the middle TN area its like a giant bowel with not allot air allowing sufficient pollen, ragweed, and common allergy issues to blow out of the area. The eastern TN area I believe is better though. If your an allergy sufferer like me, it might be good to be religious with the "Netti Pot", similar to what the Indians used back in the day.
Advantage:
- least expensive state to live in the USA and ranks top six for the least tax burden.
Advantage:
- Gun Freedom and High Self Defense across the state, allowing anyone over 18 to purchase a rifle or shotgun and anyone over 21 passing sufficient background check to buy a pistol. Tennessee remains a “shall issue” state for concealed carry and open carry is permitted with a license.
-Under the "true man" doctrine allowing the freedoms to remain to the individual and/or landowner. Individual has right to attack and protect property rather than flee, the right to attack and disable or kill the assailant is fully permitted by the law.

Make Your Own Water with a EcoloBlue 28 Atmospheric Water Generator
This thing really is amazing, has great reviews and good customer service.
filters are not too expensive and best of all get this-
it averages about 7 gallons of water a day from the air-
the EcoloBlue pulls the water or humidity out of the air.. Wow!!

SunDanzer or SunFrost? Which is the better DC-powered solar refrigerator?
SunDanzer has been around since 1999 and doing great business I might add, you'll find plenty of good reviews and happy customers with there products lasting many many years after purchase. From my perspective SunDanzer has allot to offer if you want a serious unit off the grid that's going to keep things cool, the only downer is there units aren't that big if your use to your normal fridge around the house.
(Battery-powered combination refrigerator and freezer, 12/24V
Gross Capacity: 4.7 cu. ft./134 liters
Refrigerator Capacity: 4 cu. ft./115 liters
Freezer Capacity: .7 cu. ft./19 liters
Product Dimensions (W x D x H): 23.5 x 26 x 33 inches / 59.7 x 66 x 83.8 cm
Shipping Dimensions (W x D x H): 26 x 28 x 40 inches / 66 x 71.1 x 101.6 cm
Shipping Weight: 75 lb. / 34 kg.
street price around- $800-1000
If your willing to settle for a Chest Fridge or Freezer you can get one up to 8.1 cu ft. Which I think is definitely needed in terms of having enough room for your food:
details are-
Battery-powered refrigerator or freezer, 12/24V
Gross Capacity: 8.1 cu. ft./229 liters
Product Dimensions (W x D x H): 46.9 x 26.2 x 34.5 inches / 119 x 66.5 x 87.6 cm
Shipping Dimensions (W x D x H): 49 x 30 x 39 inches / 124 x 76 x 99 cm
Shipping Weight: 145 lb. / 66 kg.
Units per 20' container: 28
Units per 40' container: 56
street price around $900-$1200+
But if your looking for something smaller to fit in your RV or Camper I think the combination Fridge/Freezer is a good deal and won't eat your batteries dead too fast and will stay around for the long Haul..
SunFrost also has some great products, more on the expensive end- anywhere between $2,000 - $3400 a unit.
There craftsmanship is very good, and the majority of units give the option of purchasing AC and DC powered or just DC powered which is a great feature.
(12 or 24 volt DC, or 110 or 220 volt AC)

*Both units don't use allot of power-
The Sun Frost
RF16 typically uses around 15 KWH per month. In contrast, the
average refrigerator in a home typically consumes about 90 KWH
per month.
Your looking at saving around 80% a month off what your normal fridge consumes with one of these units, which is pretty amazing!!
but for me with a limited budget and not allot of space right now I have to prefer the SunDanzer. http://www.sundanzer.com
Hope this helps you guys..
