Power Outage Preparedness | Don't Get Left in the Dark
In this video, I walk you through a variety of power options that preppers and off-grid enthusiasts can rely on during a blackout or extended power outage. From compact power packs to mid-range power stations and more robust setups using LiFePO4 batteries with inverters, I break down the pros and cons of each solution so that you can make an informed decision based on your needs, budget, and long-term prepping goals. I also go over my DIY power setup, which includes solar panels, LiFePO4 batteries, a pure sine wave inverter, and a modular design that allows for future upgrades and repairs. Unlike all-in-one power stations, a DIY approach offers more flexibility to replace individual components, expand your capacity, and fine-tune your system to suit your power requirements, whether you’re just looking to run a few lights or keep a fridge running for days. If you're serious about being ready for grid-down scenarios, this video covers the essentials and gives you a roadmap to build or buy the right power solution for your home or bug-out location.
