This should be the best radio to bring to camping. It is the Eton FR300 Emergency Crank Radio. It is self-powered radio giving you the news on AM or FM (local news or insane right wing pundits), NOAA (weather information and alerts), and TV-VHF channels (listen to Lost while being stranded in real life). This rugged FR300 radio can be powered via the built-in rechargeable Ni-MH battery, Dynamo hand-crank (can be used to recharge the built-in battery during emergency), or 3 AA batteries. Other features include an integrated flashlight and cell phone charger. The Eton FR300 Emergency Crank Radio is available in 6 different colors and priced at $50.
