It’s good to know that your tools will not fail you at a critical time. That is one of the reason that I like dynamo flashlights. Instead of batteries, the light is powered by shaking it, squeezing it or cranking a handle. So upper end models also have radios and cell phone chargers on them.

These lights are getting more and more affordable, as well. I picked up the light on the left at Home Depot the other day, $10 for a set of three.  The crank powers three very bright LED lights, and the package says that one minute of cranking gives one hour of power. The crank is easy to operate.

I’ll be taking two of these lights camping with me starting tomorrow, so I will let you know if I have any problems with them!
