Best Solar Survival Light for Bugging Out
There are quite a few solar powered survival lights and solar powered survival torches on the market today making it a difficult task to choose the best solar survival light for your home or bug out kit.
Remember, you don't need hours and hours of bright sunlight to charge a solar powered survival light. You simply need good daylight and if there's a bit of sunshine then all well and good, it all helps. But one of the key factors is, you need to have your solar survival light exposed to daylight whenever you can so its ready for action when you need it the most.... at night.!
So keep it out in the open at all times, just like shown here. >
In order to be able to do that your solar light must be very portable, of which most are, but also very water proof, hard wearing and robust to withstand the wiggling and bumping about that it will get.
When hiking the back of your rucksack is the ideal place. When camped it can be hung onto the top of your tent.
