00:00:01.950 --> 00:00:04.410
<v 0>Winter is the worst time for a power outage.</v>

2
00:00:06.630 --> 00:00:09.870
Here's some helpful items to have on hand in the event of a power outage.

3
00:00:10.200 --> 00:00:12.660
A great place to start is to check your camping supplies.

4
00:00:13.080 --> 00:00:16.500
Things like propane burners for cooking, sleeping bags,

5
00:00:16.530 --> 00:00:20.400
or emergency blankets and other camping equipment can be very useful.

6
00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:23.220
After all a power outage is kind of like camping in your house.

7
00:00:25.740 --> 00:00:28.170
It's helpful to have a charged battery bank on hand.

8
00:00:28.710 --> 00:00:30.120
I like this one with a solar panel.

9
00:00:30.420 --> 00:00:33.480
It'll stay charged as long as there's sunlight. That way.

10
00:00:33.510 --> 00:00:36.480
Even when the power's out, you still have power. Of course,

11
00:00:36.540 --> 00:00:40.860
larger solar panel systems or generators can power your entire house.

12
00:00:41.190 --> 00:00:41.910
During the winter.

13
00:00:41.910 --> 00:00:46.710
It's important to keep a well-stocked pantry of nonperishable foods and yet

14
00:00:46.860 --> 00:00:49.380
plenty of water. It looks like I need to restock.

15
00:00:50.700 --> 00:00:54.570
And in severe conditions, you can fill a bathtub up for access to extra water.

16
00:01:00.060 --> 00:01:04.950
Being prepared is the key to comfort during a power outage. Oh, I was back.
