Charging a dynamo is a must these days

My family teased me for being an emergency radio but changed my tune when we had major power outages last winter. Weather alerts aside, being able to charge a USB device when there is no electricity or batteries is very important these days. Important things: all 3 radio bands, dynamo and batteries, flashlight. Bonus: Solar powered. , USB output for charging mobile devices, reading lamp mode. Radio reception isn't great, but with the antenna up I have no problem picking up local stations (just not crystal clear). A reading lamp or task light is a nice touch. And portable power packs are useful, but the ability to charge your mobile device from this thing - easily with a crank or solar power - adds another layer of security when you're out of power. SOS panic button. It's in a spot where it's easy to accidentally activate it, and it's a black rubber button. It should be in a recess or even under the flap and be more clearly marked with a light color.

Pros
  • Fingers crossed
Cons
  • Makes me angry
