Thankfully, there’s a big lightbulb in the sky that we can harness to help us with our daily power needs.
If you’re looking for ways to prep for emergency outages or you just want to have a bit of peace of mind if the power goes out, consider having these 3 solar powered items in your possession:
Solar Powered Lantern
Believe it or not, these types of lanterns can be quite inexpensive. Yet, they can light up entire rooms as a lantern or some can even function as a flashlight.
If you’re thinking on getting one of these lanterns, consider LEDs as they are extremely bright and don’t require a lot of power. Make sure to charge it up during the day so it provides plenty of light in the evening.
Solar Powered Radio
Although the internet and streaming have become the norm…the radio…yes, that old thing…still works!
So in times of emergencies or outages, you’ll want to stay connected to the latest happenings. A solar powered radio helps with that.
When choosing one, make sure to pick one that’s also powered by a hand crank and has multiple functions like a flashlight, etc.
Solar Shower
While not a life or death necessity, (well that’s depending on who you’re staying with) having access to a type of shower is great for hygiene and relaxation.
Solar showers are great in this respect because you simply fill them with water, hang them in the sun, and the heat capturing bag heats the water and keeps it warm until you’re ready to take your shower.
You can find these just about anywhere online, at a local Walmart, or in my case, I found one at a garage sale for cheap.
In conclusion, you never know what tomorrow may bring. However, if there is one thing we can depend on happening more than anything else, it’s likely that the sun will come up tomorrow.
Having these items available can help make the best of any situations that may arise in life.
