Eton FR300 Emergency Crank Radio

Be ready for any disaster with the Eton FR300 Emergency Crank Radio ($50). When the power goes off, you can use this self-powered radio to listen to AM or FM (local news or insane right wing pundits), NOAA (weather information and alerts), and TV-VHF channels (listen to Lost while being stranded in real life). The rugged FR300 — which can be powered with the Dynamo hand-crank, the built-in rechargeable Ni-MH battery, or 3 AA batteries — comes in six different colors and features an integrated flashlight and cell phone charger.
