The Eton Rover Self-Powered Weather Radio (Black) is the kind of item that will undoubtedly get you out of a tough situation. Being self-powered, simply hand crank the AM/FM/NOAA Weather radio to recharge the lithium-ion battery. This is perfect for power outages or other natural disasters that may cause power to go out.
