You don't want to be suck in a survival situation without some kind of out side source to knowing what is going on in the world around you. This radio offers a weather band channel, and both am and FM channels. It requires No Batteries, it winds up and has a solar panel on the top to ensure that it will work while you are out.
It gives a person a good sense of well being if you can listen to some music to calm your nerves, or if you are in a situation to were you cant get home, You can listen to the weather band channel and determine what kind of shelter that you will need to build.
Although a radio is not a necessity, It is good to have one with you, and you cant go wrong carrying one of these. I bought both of mine through Amazon, but you can always look at your local surplus store or other websites to find one that fits your needs. I like amazon myself because of the free shipping, and the price was extremely reasonable. I only paid 25 bucks for both of these. So one would only cost you around $13 bucks. (unless you know where to get one cheaper) They hold up well extremely well and they are really nice to have if your power goes out or your are in any other emergency situation.
Thanks for reading.
