Regret not getting a decent portable solar generator sooner. Makes a huge difference for charging gear and running essentials during outages. Anyone else have an item you wish you hadn’t waited on?
Honestly, I waited way too long to pick up a good dual-band handheld ham radio. Should’ve done it years earlier—made communication drills so much easier and opened up way more info sources during storms. It’s like a night and day difference compared to just relying on commercial networks. Anyone else find radios changed their whole approach, or is it just me?
