About Us
I’m Steve, the person behind Big Prepping. This site is about making backup power easier to understand—so you can choose a setup that fits the way you live.
Big Prepping helps homeowners, renters, and families make practical decisions about backup power and emergency preparedness.
Prepare for the outage. Choose power with confidence.
Our focus is portable power stations, solar generators, and battery backup systems for everyday essentials. We explain the questions that matter before you buy: what a system can power, how much energy it stores, how it recharges, and where its limits are.
Read how we select products and distinguish research from hands-on testing.
What I personally own and film
I currently own the EcoFlow DELTA 2 and BLUETTI AC180 featured in our comparison content. I use real footage of these units for product walkthroughs and household-backup demonstrations. When a recommendation is based only on research or manufacturer information, the page says so clearly.

How to use our guides
Start with the devices you need to power and the length of outage you want to prepare for. Compare those needs with the manufacturer's specifications and instructions. Actual runtime depends on your equipment, settings, battery condition, and operating conditions; estimates are not guarantees.
Product comparisons and buying guides should not be treated as proof that every item has been personally tested. Look for documented test conditions and measurements when evaluating performance claims.
