Eton When the apocalypse finally comes, the first thing to go will be internet. So how in the world will you keep tabs on the news? Good old-fashioned radio, that's how. And because batteries will likely become scarce as well, you should own a receiver that can run on other sources of power.

Like this one: For a limited time, and while supplies last, Amazon has the Eton FRX2 solar hand-crank AM/FM/NOAA radio for $19.99. Regular price: $29.99.

See it at AmazonThe FRX2 can run off sunlight (it has a small solar panel built into the side) or human power: Just turn the built-in hand crank for a minute to generate 10 to 15 minutes' worth of radio reception or flashlight use. There's also a standard Micro-USB input if you prefer to charge the battery using conventional means (assuming they're still available, what with the apocalypse and all).

However you power the thing, https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQNIpBmHx_NGyPnCKJeYUWA?view_as=subscriber there's a standard USB port you can use to emergency-charge a phone or similar device.
