Yea, the battery I get in the clone for $10 is unknown. I mean the whole thing is $10, lol.

Everyone should have a 72 Hour bag. It's a Red Cross idea - never know when you'll have an emergency: house fire, flood from a waterline breaking, etc. This year I used my 72 Hour bag for hospital visits: family member got sick, friend had a baby sooner than expected, etc. I use an old backpack. It has a flashlight, phone chargers, cables, external batteries, etc, in addition to what the Red Cross recommends.

I don't follow everything the Red Cross recommends, that's a starting point. For example I keep water in the car, and carry a metal water bottle anyway. My starting point is "what would I need for 3 days if I had to leave the house because a water main flooded it?" Fairly mundane.
