Living in the digital age means just about everything we do involves the internet, a gadget or some other connection to the viral world. However, we’ve long had a relationship with technology that went further than casual.
When you think about it, without constant connections to electricity and fuel, we wouldn’t know what to do. That’s why portable power options are so important. You don’t have to be a conspiracy theorist to know that power can be taken away at just about any time. Just about every year since Katrina we’ve seen what Mother Nature is capable of. We’ve watched on the news as other human beings, just as dependent on power as we are, were left helpless because electricity was down and they had no access to gasoline.
Fortunately, your options for portable power have never been better. You can get everything from a handheld unit for jump starting your car, to a turbine starting unit to a simple diesel generator that can power your home if the electricity in your community goes down.
Most of these units don’t cost nearly as much as you might think. Parting with a few hundred dollars could easily make all the difference during the worst case scenario. Unfortunately, as we’ve seen, the worst case scenario happens far more often than we’d like to think about too.
