I like to have "preps" that are practical. By that I mean things that actually happen or have happen get priority. Unlike the dumb prep porn that is out there you probably shouldn't start with preparing for nuclear winter. Power outages happen. Start there.

That said, my generator is small, quiet, and has enough juice to power the critical stuff I have. It would be nice to have a whole house generator or batteries but those things cost a lot of sats. Maybe someday I will have one of those options.

For now I have a good portable generator that I can use when we travel, camp, or just need portable power. When you are thinking about things to prepare for multiple use items are awesome.
