Hand-crank radio: stay informed even in a crisis

A hand-crank radio is an essential tool in situations involving survival, natural disasters, or prolonged power outages. Thanks to its hand-crank, solar, or USB charging, it works without batteries or a wall outlet and allows you to receive emergency information when everything else fails.

• AM / FM / NOAA reception for weather alerts and government information
• Hand-crank charging, solar panel, or USB port
• Built-in power bank: phone charging available
• Backup LED flashlight and sometimes an emergency siren

When should you use it?

• Natural disasters: storms, earthquakes, floods
• Camping or trekking in areas without network coverage
• Bug Out Bag (BOB) or rapid-evacuation gear
• Home use in the event of a blackout or energy shortage

Choosing the right hand-crank radio

• Long battery life (internal 2,000 to 5,000 mAh battery)
