What’s Your Go-To Backup Power Solution?
When the power goes out, the first thing I notice (after the obvious darkness) is how quickly my battery-powered devices lose their charge. I keep a few solar chargers, but living in the Midwest, overcast days can really limit their effectiveness. My primary back-up is a Goal Zero Yeti, which I can charge either via wall before an outage or occasionally with the solar panels if conditions allow. It’s enough to keep my small medical devices, HAM radio, and a lamp going.
I’ve been eyeing small generator options but the noise and fuel storage requirements make me nervous for both safety and OPSEC. Curious what folks here rely on—are portable power stations enough for essentials, or do I need to bite the bullet and invest in a dual-fuel generator
