E11: It's Lit...For Now But Are You Prepared for a Power Outage? Essential Tips for Emergency Preparedness and Home Safety
08/30/21 • 54 min
We're keeping the light on for you like Motel 6. In this episode, we get into all things power, whether that's keeping you cool, warm or just making sure you can see in the dark. Sooo many options, sooo many price ranges, sooooo little time. We give our recommendations and talk about our personal experience with solar panels (they've saved us from multi-day blackouts more than once). Plus! A listener question for Jenn on the selfishness of prepping and how she got on board with Mik making it rain on emergency supplies.
In this episode, we talked light / power options that we recommend having on hand, depending on your situation (Mansion, Apartment, Shack or House 😝)

- Vont Lanterns
- 30 Day Duro Lantern (Note: the 30 Day Duro looks to be unavailable but there is a 60 day version that is available here)
- Home Backup Generator
- Solar Phone Bank
- Weather Crank Radio
- Kaito Weather Radio
- Mpowered Luci Solar Lantern
- Portable Power Station Article
