We have the canned goods, the dry goods, the water filter, the ammo, an emergency trunk filled with everything you can think of—drugs, first aid, lanterns, etc.
But I’m sitting here in the dark for hours after a transformer blew in our small village. Totally failed our dry run. I can’t get the lanterns working. Our batteries seem corrupted and I don’t have the right kind of batteries in some instances. And I need a lantern that uses another kind of energy too.
Big fail! I’m off to Home Depot when the lights come on to truly get prepared. Glad this happened today. I thought we were in good shape. Didn’t make it an hour.
Good options. Hope this helps someone.

FYI, I bought that radio about a year ago and it has already died.
I’m off to look at these and order! Thank you
I recommend a HAM instead.
If you dont want batteries get one of these. My wife bought me this and a case of extra candles. Works really well and no need to worry about batteries going bad.
