(I’m thinking about this because I recently got caught in a torrential downpour without an umbrella, and it was miserable… you know what I mean?) Okay, so I’ve been meaning to upgrade my emergency gear anyway. Anyone have any recommendations for a decent rain jacket that won’t break the bank? I’m not looking to spend an arm and a leg, but something that’ll actually keep me dry would be great.
And while we’re on the topic of preparedness, what are some essential items you all think every prepper should have in their kit? (I’ve got the basics down - flashlight, first aid kit, etc. - but I’m always looking to learn more.) The real issue is getting people to understand that this stuff isn’t just for ‘doomsday preppers’… it’s about being prepared for life’s unpredictabilities.
So, what are your top picks for gear and supplies? And don’t give me any fluff answers - I want the real deal.
