Nobody wants to think about doomsday, but we also don’t want to be stuck without a plan. Believe it or not, there are as many as 45% of Americans have spent money on some type of survival gear in preparation for the worst.
Many would argue that we should all be preppers, but we have to be tactical. In today’s world, one of the most important securities isrenewable energy, which you can now take on the go with you. Let’s talk about the practicality of using the Nature’s Generator power pod in a survival situation.
First, let’s address the elephant in the room; the Nature’s Generator is not exactlylight. It is a portable power pod that you can easily wheel around on a cart, but it’s not meant for backpacking, especially with solar panels or wind turbines alongside the power pod. However, in situations where you would need to remain indoors, the Nature’s Generator would work admirably.
On the positive side, the system offers 720Wh of power that you can recharge using renewable energy sources like solar and wind. It has multiple AC and USB outlets, a display screen with insights into energy use, and the ability to power up to 1440W of continuous power or 1800W surge.
If your survival concern is using satellite phones, smartphones, tablets, or other small electronic devices, then Nature’s Generator will power everything you need. The power pod can charge an iPhone 12 over 60 times, so as long as you have solar or wind charging abilities, this won’t be an issue.
However, if you have more equipment to charge, this may be an issue. Some survival equipment may draw more power, including:
For this reason, we suggest having enough layers to keep you warm or a backup heating source, lanterns that run on alternative fuel (or rechargeable LED lights), or a different power source for medical equipment. A CPAP machine, hearing aids, or cochlear implants won’t draw much energy at all, so you can charge them indefinitely with access to solar or wind.
Nature’s Generator uses a lead-acid battery that can last in storage for a few months on a full charge. Just remember to charge it every month or two if you aren’t using it.
With solar panels, it could take a full day to charge, so purchase enough panels or wind turbines to keep the system running. If you really want to prepare for the worst, use both! The system can handle up to 200W of input at a time using solar or wind energy, but up to 240 with DC charging.
If you want to prepare for the worst but you don’t want to break the bank, then Nature’s Generator is the perfect option. It isn’t too heavy, it’s the most affordable option on the market, and it will last for years with proper storage. You can easily keep it in your closet with a full charge and prepare for the worst!
