Grundig Hand Crank Emergency Radio with Weather Alert

Posted November 15, 2007 by Rosalind Gardner · Filed Under Safety Products 

Grundig Hand Crank Emergency Radio with Weather AlertI’ve been very happy to have this Grundig Hand Crank Emergency Radio on a few occassions when we’ve had no power at the house here in Penticton (see my entry about the Penticton windstorm) for protracted periods — anything longer than an hour or two.

The radio let’s you stay informed of important news and broadcasts – and you can make a phone call, even if your cell phone battery is dead.

The Grundig Hand Crank Emergency Radio with Weather Alert’s all-in-one design combines a radio, light and cell phone battery life. Because it is powered by a hand crank, batteries are unnecessary and just 90 seconds of cranking provides up to an hour of radio play.

Features include:

  • AM/FM radio with built-in antenna
  • Seven NOAA weather channels plus “weather alert”
  • TV VHF channels 2-13 (audio only)
  • Hand-crank power generator
  • Built-in cell phone charger, flashlight and emergency siren
  • Rugged, splash-proof ABS body1 year manufacturer’s warranty

You can even tune into VHF channels 2 to 13, so you can listen to your favorite TV shows when you’re away from the set.

The Grundig accesses all seven NOAA weather channels and an emergency weather alert, so you’ll always be prepared for what nature has in store.

Snow and Ice Shoe Grips

Compact Snow and Ice Shoe GripsThe road into town from our house is steep, and when covered with ice and snow, extremely treacherous.

Because the city of Penticton not only does not clear the sidewalks, but plows snow onto the sidewalks, Ed and I either had to give up walking in winter, or find a better way to deal with the danger.

We therefore bought these snow grips for our shoes.

These lightweight, easy-to-use snow grips offer such unhindered ease of movement and are so effective that the US National Bobsled Team used them confidently through snow and ice.

Keep Your Valuables Safe

The expert all agree if you want to keep your wallet secure, make sure you always keep it in a front pants pocket (not in your inside jacket pocket or your back pants pocket). Add a thick rubber band around your wallet. The friction of the rubber band against the material of your slacks will alert you that someone is trying to pick it. Never carry all your cash or identification in your wallet, stash some in different locations. Read more
