A Link to Vital Information

Sometimes disasters strike suddenly and without warning. Survivors are left shocked and wondering not only what happened, but what they should do next and if there are emergency resources immediately available to them. Having a link to the outside world is key if you’re trapped in a building or lost in the wilderness. It can literally make the difference between life and death in a survival situation.

An emergency radio can give you vital emergency information after a disaster strikes. You should absolutely have one in your survival kit, and there are several options to choose from. A compact radio is best so you can easily bring it with you if you need to be on the move. A radio powered by the sun or by a hand crank is useful because there are no batteries to run out of. On the other hand, if you choose a battery-powered radio, be sure to keep extra batteries stored along with it. There are also multi-function survival tools, like a flashlight/radio combination. This handy all-in-one is great because you only need to grab one item, not two, to have both light and information at your disposal.

Don’t be caught in the Dark!

Many of us enjoy camping  and of course with every camping trip, thought must be given to how you will light up your campsite and how you will be able to move from place to place. Having a standard flashlight is a very outdated solution because the batteries have a tendency to go out at the worst possible moment and the light is often not very bright.

A better solution is to familiarize yourself with other types of light sources. Some examples include the Emergency Dynamo Lantern which never needs batteries and comes equipped with LED lights. Another is Squeeze lights or Solar powered light. These solutions offer some additional options for your next camping trip and availability in your car or home for when you are stranded without lights.
