After Hurricane Helene, Asheville went about 7 weeks without clean water. In the 2021 Texas winter storm, 19 people died of carbon monoxide, with heaters and vehicles in enclosed spaces among the causes. I built a 9-item Harbor Freight kit for $178.90 at the prices I found, and I left 3 items on the shelf. One of them is a heater whose own manual says never use it inside a home. Subscribe to the channel: @rangerrickus In this video, we talk about 9 Harbor Freight buys that fill the government's own emergency kit list and 3 I'd skip for prepping, including a $12.99 garden sprayer turned handwashing station, a headlamp that runs on AAA cells, the 12-inch wrench for the gas meter, a first aid kit and the gap it leaves, an IP65 case for your papers, a siphon pump for water and fuel, the $19.99 multimeter and the three battery voltages to write down, a 12 mil tarp and Operation Blue Roof, a 400 watt inverter that turns your car into a small generator, the 7 watt solar panel that's really a battery maintainer, the $999.99 power station and its 2025 recall, and the tank top heater that's outdoor use only. Subscribe if you want a kit that works before the power goes out, not after. Comment where you're watching from and which Harbor Freight item you'd never skip for your own kit.
