Crank Powered Cell Phone Charger
A crank powered cell phone charger can charge up your cell phone
when the battery goes dead. If you're in the wilderness, on a boat,
or otherwise can't get to a power source to charge up your cell
phone, one of these hand powered cell phone chargers can get you
back in business by just winding or cranking the charger.
A home emergency kit should be stocked with one of these hand powered
chargers in case your electricity goes out and you have no way of
recharging your cell phone. In an emergency, you may need to call
for help but would be unable to do so if the phone lines are down
or your battery is dead.
In the wilderness, you may become lost or you may sustain an injury
which prevents you from returning from your hike. Having the ability
to call someone for help may be the best way to ensure your survival.
If your cell phone is dead, you would be out of luck until someone
realizes you're missing. That's why it is always a good idea to
let a responsible person know exactly where you're going and when
you are going to return. If they don't expect you for a couple more
days, you could be out there until help is summoned and the rescuers
find you.
Keeping your cell phone charged and/or having the wind up cell
phone charger can greatly improve your chances of survival. It can
get you help a lot quicker than if you have to wait till you're
considered missing. Once you're considered missing, it may still
be some time before searchers get to the correct area and can find
you.
It's just smart to carry along the crank powered cell phone charger
in your pack if you're going out in the woods and you'll have a
cell phone with you.
As part of an emergency kit, we have a crank
powered cell phone charger, a wind up radio and squeeze powered
flashlight. We recommend the kit for every home.
