“The Element” radio by Mayday is an essential item for all types of emergencies. It is a dynamo/solar powered radio that can connect you to the NOAA All Hazards weather stations to remain up to date on emergencies. No batteries? The solar power panel on the top can power the device. No sun? Turn the hand-crank on the bottom for 1 minute and you can get 15 minutes of radio, 30 minutes of bright light, or 2 minutes of talk time on your cell phone. The cell phone can be connected to the radio via USB which is right next to the headphone jack. It’s the perfect all-in-one device that can fit in your hand.
