This would be a pretty niffy device to have on hand while venturing into the woods.  You will never need to worry about your two-way radios becoming just added weight with dead batteries. Just use Ni-MH rechargeable batteries and your Eton FR1000 can double as a battery charger. If they added solar as another means of recharging, that would make it an ultimate survival device (plus replace all plastic with carbon fiber and or titanium but that might be asking too much).

Features:

• 22 GMRS (General Mobile Radio System)/FRS (Family Radio System) channels
• 121 privacy codes (38 CTCSS / 83 DCS)
• AM/FM receiver
• VOX (Voice operated transmission)
• NOAA weather radio and NOAA weather alert
• Siren and LED Flashlight
• Can be powered from four different sources:
  • Rechargeable Ni-MH battery
  • Dynamo hand crank
  • 4 “AA” batteries
  • AC Adapter
• Cell-phone charging jack (need to get adapter from manufacturer after you register)

Features locking blade, wood saw, gutting blade, cap lifter with can opener and other useful tools for your exploration. Comes with a life time warranty. I sent mine in once for a broken spring from all the abuse I put on it. Got it back with everything polished and/or replaced looking like new.

Compact at 5.5″ long this 0.5 watt light is really bright at 30 lumens. It will run continuously for up to 10 hours and the LED has a 100,000 hour life span. Built of strong anodized aluminum with knurled anti-slip finish. A convenient pocket clip is built in and comes with batteries. I don’t remember seeing an O-ring or waterproofing seal so I am not sure its if it is water proof but at this price why not get it.
