So what are you gonna put in YOUR survival kit(s)? \u00a0Renee didn\u2019t have a choice at that time but made it work anyway \u2014 love that, go girl. \u00a0But YOU, reader, you have a choice. \u00a0And here are some of my recommendations to help make it easy on ya:<\/p>

Wearable LED Head Light<\/a>\u00a0with comfy elastic headband. \u00a0Love that\u00a0hands free<\/strong>\u00a0lighting!\u00a0 I use it often on dog walks\u00a0 and searching for old supplies under the kitchen sink and in the tool drawer.<\/div>

Submersible LEDs<\/a>.\u00a0 Place them all around the house for more hands-free lighting. \u00a0They are\u00a0way<\/em>\u00a0bright and long lasting, plus waterproof when you\u00a0screw \u2019em together tight.\u00a0 Though they come in every color, and even slow color change, it is\u00a0white submersibles<\/a>\u00a0that will come in most handy\u00a0when the power\u2019s out.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
