I've been stocked up on stuff like this for a while. It's was super helpful when Covid hit and I was prepared--never had to leave my house during that time. And we also had a blizzard that knocked everything out for a few days. So to me, it's common sense to have a lot of this stuff anyway.

I've been upping my solar power situation. And for most of this summer I have been using a solar oven, which has been awesome!
