It's 2026, and the fact that people don't have back up emergency power is insane. https://www.weizeus.com/products/weize-400w-12v-complete-off-grid-solar-starter-kit-with-mppt-controller-2000w-inverter-100ah-battery-copy?variant=48832588808420&country=US¤cy=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&srsltid=AfmBOopuv5O2UzEDV-ZJSAE3e2tSXIMfXKZI7yv4CTKNWsnpy7Qn1VhnT74

Most people live paycheck to paycheck and can’t afford a $500 emergency and still afford to eat. So…I would love to prep reasonably but I did that during COVID, spent thousands, and now I have to replace most of my stuff-mostly food and meds. Maybe once I get my tax return, I’ll research generators and solar kits. 🙏

I understand, and I am not as prepped as I wish I was, but I can make electricity if needed, can pull water from the air with a dehumidier, do have water filtration devices, and do have shelter that is mobile. It really doesn't cost much. Nearly everyone I see online complaining about electricity out from the storms in NW Indiana (where I am from) has spent on things like alcohol and video games, eating out, and shoes/clothes/jewelry, a more flashy car than they need, etc. Priorities are wrong and now they are suffering and needing bail outs. When SHTF for real - not just a little storm - they are going to be absolutely screwed.
