Hurricane prep, asking for ideas. [View all]

There are so many people here who are more experienced than I am at so many things. I have been here before asking for help and ideas, and DU has saved my bacon numerous times.

As a matter of fact, I would be utterly alone now that my one half sister I no longer communicate with has lost her mind and is dangerous and my parents are now both making their way through the beautiful eternal cosmos together.

That's why I'm here every day. I think of you as my family. I am fortunate to be able to call some of you, my friends, and I am forever grateful for that!

So, I have been working on my hurricane prep, and these are things that I have never had, but I plan to add to my prep. But I need some help.

1. A weather radio
2. A camp stove
3. Free standing solar power source

Anything else that anyone can suggest, I would appreciate.

I'm working off of the standard hurricane readiness list, but I can tell that it hasn't been updated in a while. I mean, why would I need a two-way radio, which is on the list?

Off topic: but if anyone has any ideas, I would like to get a new not anything fancy turntable with Bluetooth in/out or just out, possibly expandable with speakers.

Thanks so much for everything, DU. I love you.
