No power? No problem.
While power outages are a surprisingly regular occurrence in some parts of the US, the days of fishing for candles during a blackout are long gone. If this is something you have to deal with, a portable power station can be a real lifesaver, and you might be surprised how capable they are, too. Modern models can keep the lights on for hours or even days at a time, not to mention your fridge and necessities -- such as charging your phone.
You can often grab one at a great price, too, including right now.

And it fully recharges in just over two hours using a standard AC outlet, or you can pair it with a solar panel for unlimited power when you're off the grid.
