I love the practical arrangements and walk throughs that you have done for your preps and using a usually overlooked security tool.

You can find solar chargers that will charge 18650 and even 26650, but you can probably build something yourself to do that, you can also search for “cotton picker” solar chargers, when you need that kind of power, you may as well just look into some kind of modest solar set up of your own creation that can do more than just charge the flashlight batteries. Everyone needs to remember about their car batteries and inverters also, if they are on budgets.

Everyone should have a good thrower with their lights, in keeping with my survivalist theme on battery selection, I have a very adequate 3aaa/18650 thrower, a nice 3aa thrower, and a Xin-TD 18650 thrower, for redundancy and battery variations.

Dumb question here, Teach,

What is a “thrower?”

Thanks.

I had a like minded neighbor stop by for a visit the other night. The talked turned to power generation in shtf situations. He told me that I had the ultimate generator already in my garage. My wife's Prius. I have to check to see what it would take to use it as a power source to change from dc to ac to run a fridge, etc. I have a couple of invertors for small items already. Any suggestions?
