The Blackout category was created due to the growing needs of users for various types of products that enable them to survive in an emergency situation, which is a power outage. Blackout is a word derived from English, literally can be translated as "blackout". It means the failure of the power grid over a very large area, with serious socio-economic consequences. There are many causes of this phenomenon. These include both natural disasters and terrorist attacks. It is not uncommon for Blackouts to also result from human error or overloaded power grids. So how do you prepare yourself and your family for a power outage?
"It is better to have and not use than not to have and need". - These are the words of an increasing number of people who stock up on products in case of power shortages. Nowadays we depend on electricity and in case of any failure we lose access to a great many goods. In the event of a power outage, first and foremost, we have no light, no heat, no ability to use ATMs, stores, gas stations and anything else that requires a connection to the electric grid.
When creating your own supplies in case of a power outage, first of all, you should think about emergency lighting. At MILITARY.EU you will find a wide range of powerful flashlights, candles and traditional kerosene lamps to illuminate your home in this crisis time. In the absence of heating, we encourage you to stock up on sleeping bags and chemical heaters that will help you sleep through the night in comfort.
Cooking without electricity presents some challenges. How do you eat a hot meal when your stove is not working? For example, you can get a small gas-powered stove. It's also a good idea to make a larger stockpile of long-term and dry food, which can lie around for up to several years. We also encourage you to browse our range of canned foods, breads with a two-year shelf life, and high-energy snacks to give you a boost.
Portable power stations, which act as small power plants, are also an interesting option. Thanks to them you will be able to charge your phone, flashlight or laptop while having, for example, a refrigerator connected to the station. Interestingly, the Ecoflow stations we offer also have the X-Boost function, which doubles the output power up to 1200 W, so that the station is also able to power "power hungry" devices.
For the theorists, we offer a selection of Blackout books and other survival guides, which, in the event of a power outage, can offer plenty of advice and allow you to prepare for various unforeseen events. It is worth knowing that even a relatively short power outage can strongly affect the functioning of society as a whole. By being properly prepared for a Blackout and stocked with the right products, you will be able to respond effectively to any circumstance.
