However, IF I forget to charge my phone it does none of those, so I keep flashlights and have a landline to name two.
When the grid goes down and it will, these people will be F’ed. Can’t read a compass, can’t generate clean water, have no survival skills, can’t cope without their electronic pacifier. They will truly be lost.
I consider the cell phone flashlight almost worthless. I have a FENIX flashlight and headlamp. Bright enough to light a stadium.
