No one ever seems to mention battery operated clocks. May seem unimportant but think you will want to know what time of day or night it is and if there is a day of the week display, even better. Have more than one so when batteries die on one, you will have another one and not have to guesstimate the actual real time to reset it.

My daughter lives across the street and wasn’t prepared so I gave her one.

@joycedagostino8869 8 ай бұрын

Hi Jinnie, thanks for your list. I think one thing for those who burn wood is not only the fire extinguisher, but also check to make sure your flue pipes for fireplaces and stoves are clean and have no buildup that can start fires. For the candles (and flashlights), make sure that there are some that can be found quickly should the power go out and anything with open flames should be kept in sturdy holders and where they can't be tipped over by pets and kids. In addition to blankets and sleeping bags, using flannel sheets sometimes is a very nice cozy way to keep your bed warmer too. If you sew, look for remnants at the fabric store for polar fleece, some of them are blanket size and can be a quick and easy way to keep warm too, no sewing needed.

Backup your store bought candles with a few Crisco candles - take a small jar fill with scoops of Crisco - make it even and push a birthday candle into it - voila its ready to go and lasts a long time. you could also take a cheap taper candle and cut it in half to make two larger candles. the wick should be just above the Crisco level. also recommend fire blanket

Isnt the Battery Daddy heavy when filled. Another consideration is consolidating types of batteries. AAA/AA batteries is easier to find or barter for than coin batteries and other shapes. Does lantern oil or lighter fuel disintegrate over time? I dont want to but lots of lighters to find the sealed package fuel is dry. Dont forget your pets and their needs. Reflective, illuminated coats (yes they ALL need coats) and leashes. esp if power is out. I have tripped over my all black dog.

I love my candles and love it when the conversation turns to candles. The first thing to say about candles is the safety concerns. With all of the options available these days, if you are absent-minded, accident prone, or have a house full of rambunctious kids and pets, maybe you shouldn't use candles. Otherwise, when used safely, candles can be a great resource that can store forever with no spoilage, no need for rotation, or any special evironmental considerations other than avoiding high air temps.

Good list. When it comes to a radio for information gathering, I would also suggest a scanner. DON'T waste your money getting a cheapo analog only scanner anymore. This day in age many public safety agencies are already using or planning to switch to DMR or P25 which are digital. An analog scanner won't do you any good. A digital scanner that's P25/DMR/analog capable will do the trick. You can keep ears on public safety, utility companies and also VHF/UHF ham radio activity. During bad storms or significant events, ham operators are always on the air. If you have a shortwave receiver, a good frequencies to listen to in Maine is 3.940MHz LSB with a secondary of 7.262 LSB. We connect the state together usually on 3.940.

The tent needs to be a wind proof, water resistant tent to hold heat. A lot of tents on the market are thin with mesh and won't hold heat. If that's all you have or all you can afford, use emergency blankets and tape to line the inside of the tent to help reflect heat. If you don't have a tent, build a "fort" old school like we did as kids with blankets. It works in a pinch!
