On this edition of the Easy Tech blog we’ll run lanugo some gadgets that could come in really handy the next time mother nature comes calling.

Alternatives If you don’t want to go with a gas generator, flipside option is to pick up a couple of power banks. As with gas generators, they come in variegated price ranges, with the increasingly expensive ones giving you spare power and capabilities.
