Avoid using portable generators in apartment buildings or on apartment balconies

Hiker Geek 🌲💻🌲Unfortunately in bad/cloudy weather when you are likely to have a power failure solar cells don't put out much. If you use more of the power bank then the solar cells are charging it, the power bank will run out.
With a stash of gas, my generator will run for a couple of weeks and keep powering my very high draw sump pump and hopefully keep my basement from flooding.
Apartment dwellers should ditch generators but for home owners maybe not.
But all shouldn't count on TX's grid.
I actually been doing a tech review of power stations for a purchase. I may start doing a part time van life.
I am looking at a Jackery Explorer 1000 Plus and a Alpicool CF35 Portable Car Refrigerator.
I can use these in a power failure and this combo is much more efficient than trying to power your home frig. They can go for days without even using solar cells. More with them.
Plus instead of $$$ sitting around waiting for a power failure I can take these with me and have fun.
