Jackery Portable Power Station 2000
Compact yet powerful, the generator can power multiple appliances including fridges, AC units and more. Ports on board include: 3 AC outlets, USB-A 18W, and USB-C 100W + 30W ports. Charge a phone 80x or a fridge or laptop 24x for example.
Spot X
Stay connected when cellular goes out. Spot X uses 100% satellite technology to give you service anywhere. There are a number of options when it comes to satellite communication devices but I especially like that plans start as little as monthly so you don’t have to sign up for a full contract. You can also connect to your phone with Bluetooth to get to your contacts or use as a standalone device. One touch SOS button with 24 hr search and rescue, on board tracking feature to allow friends and family to check on your whereabouts, water resistant, sleek and portable for always staying connected! Spot has facilitated 10,000 rescues!
Emergency All in One Hand Crank Radio
When you're in a jam, this is a great gadget to have around for guaranteed connectivity. Equipped with a crank radio, emergency radio, solar panel, SOS button flashlight and USB-C charging this is a must to have handy for any emergency.
