Another nut case who can’t wait to commit suicide. Don’t bother answering as we get at least one nut case per thread.

We have a lot of those solar powered landscape lights for decoration. In a SHTF situation they will be charging AA batteries for LED flashlights and lanterns.
I have stuff.
If you want it, come and get it.

I am about to buy a solar recharger to charge my Kindle and cell phone. I have a number of books I haven't read and they are on my Kindle so I don't want to lose that capability during a long power outage.
I researched these and the majority are cheap, fairly useless rechargers. It takes a fairly heavy duty one to charge four AA batteries in four hours, so the Kindle (or phone) can be plugged into the USB port on the battery pack and get a decent charge. This one is Goal Zero 19010 Guide 10 Plus Black/Silver Small Adventure Kit $119.95.
I have three solar chargers just to charge rechargeable batteries but those are cheap ones that take a long time and there is no way to charge electronic devices off those solar chargers. It's okay for these chargers to take a long time since they can be in several stages of recharging.
The books I depend on for survival are real books.
For moving "stuff", I have a heavy duty child's wagon with heavy duty tires.
Of course, as long as there are politicians, I'll have regular rope. ;)
I've got several large solar panels and batteries that I use now for power outages. Seems like a thunderstorm appears on radar and our power is likely to drop out.
Lots of the charger kind of stuff I can build as required. I have a lot of books on my Sony reader, including reference books, but keeping a charge on it is no big deal.

“I have a lot of books on my Sony reader, including reference books, but keeping a charge on it is no big deal.”
How do you charge it when power is out?
The reader holds a charge for well over a month, though, with normal reading (couple of hours a day).

To charge without regular power, does your set-up of solar panels and batteries have household type plugs attached some way the batteries - how does that work? That sounds like a dumb question, and it is, but I don’t know the answer.
Okay, got it, ignore my other post asking that question.
“Seems like a thunderstorm appears on radar and our power is likely to drop out.”
Same here, it rains and power goes out. That why I keep a battery small lantern on a table next to my chair. I do not trust power here to stay on.
Not a “tool”, but my better half suggests a tetanus shot.
Any overdue dental work should get done, as well.

It might be a good idea to include something to use with that ammo...
just sayin’
