[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 10347, member: 1498"] I had seen the small crank flashlights (less than $20, handheld) and considered getting one/some. But then I read the reviews and, for the most part, they weren't good. Maybe the reviewers had high expectations, but I listened to them. I do have a larger one, more lantern size, and I do like that a lot. I also have a crank radio. I like them much better than the battery type. Cranking gives you something to do when there is nothing else and you don't have to worry about having enough batteries on hand all the time. Gotta have a non portable phone which doesn't need electricy tucked away somewhere for emergencies. You can't recharge a cell phone without electricity unless you can drive around with a car charger going. I also have one of those little battery operated TV's around but that requires that I also have a bunch of D batteries around too. Cable goes out pretty easily around here, at least compared to the phones, and with it goes a lot of internet connections. I heard on the news that as the ice falls off the tree branches they are expecting more outages because some branches will snap upwards and break more lines. [/QUOTE]
