HIGHLY RECOMMEND - they stack, or can be slid underneath beds or some couches

If you don’t have a gas stove at home, or if your gas is cut, you’ll need something to cook with. Be sure to buy propane canisters as well.

These go with the Coleman gas stove.

If you prefer to cook over a fire

To light candles and the stove, or to make cooking fires.

Backup if your lighters don't work

I store my (and Maggie’s) dried food in these to prolong the shelf life.

We have had very spotty cell and hardly any internet service. This was important to have. Note: mine ended up malfunctioning after a week of use, so if you get this specific one, test all the functions a bunch before the return/exchange period is up. It's very highly rated, so I think I just got a dud.

These are my go to lights. They can clip on to you too, so you don't lose them

This is a spotlight and a lamp and cell charger (though don't rely on that part). I use this outside, when I need to see further

It's really nice to have a headlamp when you need light, but also need to use your hands at the same time.

I typically use rechargeable batteries, but when you don't have power, you need something that works without having to be charged for your healamp.

I've been using 5 gallon buckets for water storage and I made a composting toilet from one. If you have a clean stash, you'll appreciate it. Lids too, to keep out the mosquitoes, or close up your finished compost toilet.

These help keep you clean when there's no water.

Without running water these have been key. I'm typically not a huge paper towel user, but these have been necessary.

I’ve used this so much throughout this, but I need some type of good pre-filter.

I wished I had this, so I just bought one for myself. I wanted the hand crank option because of the cloudy skies we've had.

I helped some people get out of town with my road maps, when their GPS wasn’t working. Good thing to have on hand.

I’ve had to use this quite a bit for disaster cleanup. Things are very toxic right now in the areas that have been flooded. This would be good to prevent smoke inhalation, too. Be sure to buy the filter cartridges as well.

Goes along with the 3M respirator that I’ve had to use quite often.

If you can access enough clean water, this is so much better than a sponge bath. I highly recommend it.

I was inspired to buy this after seeing some people without power for a month+

This is what I used during the hurricane, but I ended up getting a second, much larger one.

I have two of these. I think they have more powerful ones, so check that out

These connect the two solar panels, if you get two

I only have one of these, but wish I had two. This is a two pack.
