Hmmmm this would take a fair bit if room up in the preparedness bunker...

Got to say this Anker powerbank has been sitting in the car for six months and still sitting at 100% charge. I was able to charge the Radio and Camera while working on the laptop and the pop up light is great too. I keep this with my vehicle based grab bag, just in case something happens while im at work. Who else has used on of these, or what do you have for emergency power, if anything, in your vehicle. Can't fault this at all, and thats even after I dropped it from a good height after a whoopsy while carrying too much.

Did you know 🧐 You may already have many of the things you need in an emergency just around the house!
Take a look around your home for:
🔦 a torch
📻 a radio
🔋 spare batteries or a power bank
💧 water containers
🧴 hygiene items
🥫 food your household normally eats
Keep useful items easy to find. You do not need to buy everything at once!

Very emotional reading and listening...
