This is my last post about the Outdoor Retailers Expo, tomorrow back to my normal content.

Eton, makers of stylish audio devices, has recently teamed up with the American Red Cross to make the perfect emergency radio. Available in several different configurations, all their radios boost AM/FM radio, with your choice of Short Wave or NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) and TV/VHF (for listing to local TV stations). They include a hand crank to charge the radios internal Ni-MH battery pack, and three AA batteries for other devices, as well as a cell phone charger. In addition the radio includes a LED light and flashing red strobe light. All this packed into a small 6" x 6" x 2" radio in a stylish white case. Emergency preparedness has never looked so good.

Available from Eton from $50-$60.
