One of the advantages of being a prepper is that you are always prepared for whatever may happen in your life. The problem, natural disasters often mean that you will be without power for an extended period of time. What if you have your bug out bag in the basement or in an underground space? Being without power could mean it is harder to get to your necessary gear. Perhaps a better idea is to make your prepper items glow!
What You Need When the Lights Go Out
We all know that widespread power outages will make life crazy. Therefore, your home and your bag are probably filled with backup light, candles, flashlights, and more. Light is something we all need, and it is a fairly easy thing to take care of in advance. Even people who do not consider themselves preppers already have a long list of supplies that can give them light when the world goes dark. People who plan for hurricane season and potentially a week will have them on hand so that there is light even when there isn’t a fridge. The hard part then becomes finding those lights and supplies when the lights do go out.
Seeing in the Dark
Although it isn’t an ideal solution for everything you own, many people want to make their items glow. If you can make flashlights glow on the handle, you will have an easier time of finding it when it is dark. You can also make things glow that you may not have ever thought about. Tools, equipment, furniture, and other items can all be lit up by using glow in the dark epoxy resin. This way, if the power goes out in the middle of the night, you can find your way to anywhere you want to go in your home with ease. All you need to do is prepare the epoxy and dip the handle of your items in it or put a layer of epoxy over it. You get to choose how you use it.
Stay Prepared and Plan for All Things
As a prepper, you know the value of being prepared for anything. If the power goes out, you cannot say what will ultimately happen to your smartphone, your fridge, and other things that we depend on in today’s world. However, you can make it easier for yourself to move around your shelter. This could make life so much easier for you and your family. It will also look great when the power isn’t off, and you simply need to live your life during the days and nights ahead. Can you think of a downside to planning ahead? We say enjoy your candles, use your flashlights, and add a little glow to your entire space.
