Heat and Light
We grab lights from our stash all the time when we have a power outage, so we’ve tested a lot over the years.
Waterproof Camping Lantern – This lantern has solar charging capability and up to 25 hours of runtime per charge. Plus, it can serve as an emergency backup charger for your phone.
Stormproof Match Kit – The waterproof case holds 25 windproof and waterproof matches. They will relight even after being submerged in water.
Insta-Fire Fire Starter – These make starting a fire easier with capability to start 120 fires in 30 packs.
BioLite CampStove – This wood burning camping stove generates electricity and has a built-in USB charger. Use it as a portable grill, coffee press, and kettle so you can boil water and cook meals. Twigs and pinecones can be used as fire fuel so power can remain plentiful.
3-in-1 Portable Grill and Fire Pit – This is a good, cheaper alternative to the BioLite CampStove. It won’t give you the capability to generate electricity, but it will make it easier to build a fire so you can boil water, keep warm, and have a cooking source.
Solar Powered Head Lamp – If you need to be hands-free, this head lamp is really handy. You don’t have to worry about stocking batteries since it has solar power charging capability.
