A while back, there was a thread regarding survival kits onboard our aircraft.
I found an item I just added to mine, and I recommend it highly.
It is a tiny, handcranked mini-generator designed to charge a cellphone. It
also
has an emergency light. It is VERY small . . . about 3 inches wide and
weighing only an ounce or so . . . comes with adaptors for all major phone
brands.
I tried it on my Nokia and my wife's Kyocera. It could be real useful if you
are in the boonies for any period of time. Just a thought . . . cost $35
(including shipping). Available from Sky Mall (
www.skymall.com).
