What To Do When The Power Goes Out

Blackouts can be kind of fun. The whole world shuts down (because all we know now is technology) and we are suddenly forced to be self-sustaining humans again. Unfortunately, many of us have forgotten how to do that. So here are a few pointers to read (before your power goes out) that should help you make it through any power outage safe and sound!

Underappreciated Flashlights

Flashlights are your universal self-defense tool. They are highly under-appreciated. Unlike other traditional weapons of self-defense, they can be taken practically anywhere. You can find small, compact, yet very bright and sturdy flashlights almost anywhere. These cool little tools work great as deterrents, blinders, and weapons.

A Good Defensive Flashlight

Back up Energy

Typically, a "gauge" number labels the thickness of speaker wire. Most of the speaker wire that is available for purchase is between 12 and 16 gauge. In this case, the lower the gauge number, the thicker the wire. Thicker wire possesses a higher capacity to pass through an amplified audio signal. So what does this mean for you?

In Winter

Step One: Prevent

Many people can feel when they are being followed. If you think you are, shine your light around. Nailing the would-be-attacker with your bright light might be enough to warn them to back off. They'll know they no longer have the element of surprise and move on.

Step Two: Blind
