The dust has settled and the First 72 Hours have passed. Follow along as I build a long term plan via Prudent Prepping.
Yes, this post is two weeks in the making... but there were problems! I ran out of gas! I got a flat tire! I didn’t have change for cab fare! I lost my tux at the cleaners! I locked my keys in the car! An old friend came in from out of town! Someone stole my car! There was an earthquake! A terrible flood! Locusts! IT WASN’T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD!
Hmmm? Oh, you aren't buying it? Yeah, neither did Erin...
What really happened was that I was out with friends, my phone was getting low on juice, and no one had a USB "C" cable so I could grab a quick charge. Yes, I know that means I was out with trendy Apple phone owners but hey, if you look at my FB Friends list you can see all types of folks. There's even several people that I suspect still use flip phones! Where is this leading? Here:
Anker PowerCore Slim 10000 PD
I chose the Anker because it has almost the same profile as my phone, came with its own cable and plug, and was the best combo of features and size for me. Here is the info from the Amazon page.

I have a battery pack in my work gear and one in my BOB, but I neglected to grab either one of those when I went out with my sling bag. Now I have a charger to take care of that!
While I was shopping for that the idea came to me that extra charging cables might be nice, so with some digging I found this:
