The post Stock up on Black Friday Emergency Preparedness Gear appeared first on Outdoor Life.

Hurricanes. Wildfires. Bomb cyclones. Blizzards. The natural disasters just keep on co*ing. If you’re thinking you should upgrade your emergency kit, you’re right. And Black Friday, has consistently has the best deals of the year, is the time to do it. Outdoor Life editors and contributors have put essential parts of any emergency kit to the test, from emergency radios, to water filters, to solar generators. Here are the best deals you can find, on the gear you’ll actually want. 

Solar Generators

A solar generator not only provides power to your home and family when the grid goes out, it can keep on providing power as long as there is daylight (yes, even through the clouds). Here are the top deals going on right now. 

• Bluetti AC200L+SP200L is $1200 — 52% off





• Anker SOLIX 2000 + 2 200W Solar panels is $1500 — 48% off

Emergency Radios

There is no guarantee that the grid will keep working during an emergency, which makes having an emergency radio a must. In his roundup of the Best Emergency Radios, Alex Murphy named this one the best option for preppers. 

• Eton Sidekick is 41% off — $77

Satellite Messengers

This is a must for your car, as there is no guarantee that you’ll have reception in the event of a breakdown or other emergency. Go for a satellite messenger on the Iridium network, as our testing has shown it is more reliable than Globalstar’s (which Apple is using for their iPhone satellite messenger).

• Garmin Messenger is 19% off — $243





• Zoleo is 25% off — $150

Water Filters

It’s tempting to buy a cheap Lifestraw or similar to round an emergency kit, but those aren’t what you want. During an emergency, the available water could be contaminated with all kinds of things: norovirus, agricultural runoff, chemicals, heavy metals. Choose a water filter for your emergency kit that can deal with as many of these contaminants as possible and you’ll be in much better shape for the long haul. 

• Grayl GeoPress is 20% off — $80 





• Steripen Classic is 18% off — $83
