Solar Survival Gear
Our world of creative tech has provided for a succession of cool dependencies in the form of debit machines, too much social media, credit card instant access, application after iphone application of stuff that keeps us all very occupied. Are we able to pause for more than a day without going nuts? It wasn’t long ago that cell phones didn’t exist, no itunes, no texting, no calls from your other half at the store asking – what kind of ice cream you’d like.
Can you imagine if you will, that somehow it all stopped. After the pandemonium settled and you kick yourself for not planning ahead, you begin to review those things that you once thought would be a good plan for a day when the power went out, but never did anything about it because it just didn’t seem that pressing or necessary. There were a few candles in the house and that was good for the moment.
Imagine your world without power, without TV, without twitter, absent of instant access to money at the nearest cash machine. A world without video games and personal computing. I know I would feel especially cut off without being able to connect to our readers via this blog.
Billions of people live like this every day, in a world without power and without technological dependence. How would we fare if it all stopped? We can’t predict what the future holds when it comes to our power supply – that key connection in the background which allows it all to keep on running. That switch that connects to a grids stressed by growing population demand.
A back up solar power plan could make just such a hypothetical circumstance certainly much better, much less dire. We’ve come a long way from learning how to build a fire, the invention of the wheel, the engine and light bulb. We learned how to adapt our environment to our needs rather than adapting to our environment thoughtfully. But now here we are. Some solar survival gear sounds pretty good right about now. No panic, just a little pragmatism to stave off those cold winter nights when the power goes out. Solar Survival Gear – not a bad idea to plan ahead.
Hi Dan,
Thanks for your thoughtful comment and thumbs up for survival solar gear and solar back up. It's a truly smart choice I agree.

The fact that the newer generation has been born in technology, it is really difficult imagining going without tv or videogames for a day, let alone a year. Back up power would allow us to keep doing what we like (blogging, tweeting, gaming, etc…) and we would be able to help the planet at the same time. People are very much selfish, so to keep them happy all the while going green, they want a solution that won't stop them from doing what they want and I firmly believe that Back Up power is definately one way to go. Plus Solar Gear on the go is ideal to blog from anywhere!
cool blog, im really gettin into this solar thing, it IS time for the world to go GREEN! I found a pretty cool solar site on stumble upon the other day, solarpower4dummies.com pretty neat site, easy name to remember, not that i agree calling people dummies, haha! Anyway I really like the solar calculator on the home page, neat seeing variances in solar costs from state to state, also you can buy those solar back packs in there store too!
