Blackouts

This week we talk all about blackouts. With the recent storms and blackouts I thought we should talk prepping for the power going out.

We cover batteries for storage. My hierarchy of batteries. With rechargeables being the first line of defense. Eneloop being the best rechargeables you can get. With Energizer Lithium as your reliable emergency batteries. Lastly always stock up on cheap junk batteries. Use them if your rechargeables are not charged and it’s not an emergency.

We cover flashlights, candles, battery backups and much more.
