Emergency Gear for the Next Time We Have Emergencies

Brian and Co. at The Wirecutter have put together a roundup of very useful emergency gear to throw in your emergency-go bag to prepare yourself for the next disaster that comes (and there probably will be many more disasters to come in our lifetimes). One thing I’m most definitely planning on buying: Eton’s TurbineBoost1000 USB battery pack with Turbine Power Generator pictured on the left (“One minute of hand cranking will allow for enough juice to make a 30 second phone call or to send and receive a few text messages.” So useful!) Also, Brian is donating 10 percent of October’s proceeds to the Red Cross, which is awesome.
