Wind Up Radio
A wind up radio works great for emergency use because it does not
require batteries to use. You can simply wind up or crank a handle
and it will generate power that the radio can work off of for a
short period of time. When the radio loses power, you can just wind
up the crank handle again and you have more power that the radio
can use.
You would want a wind up radio during an emergency because you
want to know what is going on and what, if any, instructions the
authorities are issuing. If an evacuation order is given, then that
means they expect conditions to deteriorate to the point where it
will be hazardous to be in the area. Always heed the instructions
of authorities when they put out information.
The wind up radio is great for emergencies because normal batteries
can go dead. If you haven't changed the batteries in a while, you
don't know how long they will last. Batteries can even go bad when
they aren't installed in anything because they have a shelf life.
A wind up radio will not run out of power so you will continue to
stay informed of what is happening in the area.
The hand crank or wind up radio is also great for camping trips.
No need to worry about bringing batteries. Simply wind up the generator
and you can listen to some music while watching your fire or doing
other camp chores.
A wind up radio should be part of your home survival kit. When
gathering your emergency supplies for your home emergency kit, you
can save space by not having to include the proper batteries. Even
if you don't have a wind up radio, you should have a radio in your
home emergency kit so you can stay informed during a natural disaster
or catastrophe.
We have a wind up radio as part of our emergency kit which also
include a flashlight and a cell phone charger that also do not require
batteries.
