What’s Your Top “Must Have” Prep for Power Outages?
When the grid goes down, what’s the one item you absolutely wouldn’t want to be without? I’ve been looking into battery banks and small solar chargers, but curious if folks here prioritize light, comms, or something else entirely. My hand crank radio’s decent, but doesn’t do much for lighting or charging. Do you have a favorite piece of kit that’s proven itself during an extended outage? Always interested to hear what’s actually worked for people—recommendations welcome.
