I'm not sure if this goes in the commo or survival section, it's kinda both.

For those fortunate enough to have a bugout shelter, what to do for commo once you get there?

Most of us probably own CB radios...some of us have better radio equipment. If you were to be tied down to your shelter, how do you plan to power those radios?

I have an idea, but it's beyond my level of expertise. If one were to have or make a solar panel to charge a 12v battery(preferably a large one, out of construction equipment), you could power your radio easily.

One could also get 12v battery chargers for AA or other sizes, or use any 12v appliance.

Just an idea, anyone have any insight on this?

Keep the change.

In the Wasatch National Forest of Utah, 504 sheep were killed by a single bolt of lightning. Sheep huddle in storms and the lightning bolt passed from one animal to another.
