Ready when the lights go out.
Simple, well-made gear for light, water and warmth, so a blackout feels like a quiet night in, not an emergency.
Built for the first night without power.
Most outages last hours, not weeks. These are the few things that make those hours calm.
Light
A warm lantern that charges by USB-C or sun, and gives your phone a small boost.
Water
A simple way to collect it, filter it and store it when the taps stop.
Warmth
Reflective shelters and a windproof lighter for when the heat goes out too.
Tools
A pocket saw for storm cleanup that fits in a drawer or glovebox.
Seven things worth having on hand.
Each one is small, light and easy to use in the dark.
One lantern. Three ways to charge.
The Four-Leaf Solar Lantern is the one thing we'd grab first. It lights a whole room, folds into a backpack, and keeps going when the outlets don't.
- 2000mAh rechargeable battery, about 5 to 10 hours of light
- Charges by USB-C, USB or its built-in solar panel
- Six modes, including soft warm and orange light
- USB output to give your phone a small boost
Run time and charge time are the maker's ratings. Solar charging is slow and works best as a top-up.
Collect. Filter. Store.
When the taps stop, water is the thing people miss first. Three simple pieces cover it.
Catch it
A 12L bucket that sits under a downspout and folds flat when you're done.
Clean it up
A small squeeze filter kit for clear fresh water, with a cleaning syringe.
Keep it ready
An 8L food-grade jug with a faucet, filled before the storm and tucked away.
Collected rainwater or creek water isn't safe to drink as it is. Filter it, then bring it to a rolling boil for 1 minute before drinking.
Calm is a plan.
Being prepared shouldn't feel scary. Lantern Ready is a small shop with a simple idea: a few good tools, honest descriptions and real delivery times, so when the power goes out, you light a lantern and carry on.
Before you order
How long does shipping take?
Orders ship within 1 to 3 business days. Most items arrive in 6 to 15 days after that. The arc lighter takes a slower route and usually arrives in 12 to 18 days. Each product page shows its own delivery time.
Can I drink water from the filter?
Use the filter with clear fresh water. To be safe, bring filtered water to a rolling boil for 1 minute (3 minutes above 6,500 feet) before drinking. We haven't lab-tested the filter, so we don't make claims about exactly what it removes.
Will the lantern charge my phone?
Yes. It has a USB output that gives your phone a small boost. Think of it as a backup, not a power station.
Is the emergency shelter a real sleeping bag?
No. It's a light reflective layer that helps hold in body heat. It works best layered with blankets and warm clothes.
