The resiliency of America's cellular network is good news, but it doesn't do any good if your phone has no battery life. Smart phones, even if at 100 percent battery, can go dead in a day, which is far less time that it takes for the power grid to be restored in the worst natural disasters. With that in mind, here are solar-powered devices we recommended using to make sure your cell phone has endless battery life. For solar-powered phone chargers, we recommend the GoSun Flex-10.

The GoSun Chill is great for many reasons. We've mentioned in other blog posts that it cools better than an ice cooler, holds way more drinks, uses far less p

When Dorian makes landfall it is expected to knock out parts of the grid in many areas of these states. With this in mind, experts recommend putting together a hurricane preparedness kit for you and your family that can last for a minimum of seven days. Here are some of the absolute essential items for any basic kit recommended by FEMA. Water : 1 gallon per person for seven days. This is for drinking, cooking, and personal sanitation.

This is a solar-panel powered light with a 360-degree tilt. The Pico is compact and reliable, providing up to 72 hours of light from a full charge. 5x brighter than kerosene Integrated solar design 72 hours of light on low mode The Thermo Want to make sure the food off your sun oven is cooked or grilled all the way?
