Thought I would post this just for general info for anyone interested in a really nice piece of gear that can come in handy when out hunting...or just about anywhere when you don’t have access to power for your rechargeable electrical stuff. http://www.aladdinpower.com

I shipped a bunch of them to my son in Iraq and he and his guys use the crap out of them for their cell phones and even for detonation of explosives. Your electrical knowledge and creativity are about the only limits to the uses of these little gadgets...and the price is great!

Looks like a good thing to put into a survival package. No doubt it works very much like a C. C. Crane Freeplay radio.

Very useful endeed! I have to get one for da wife.

The great thing about the Aladdin is that it will fully charge your cell phone. There are several chargers out there but all they will do is keep your phone working while you are cranking away. They also come with a neat little light (about the size of a pencil eraser) that will burn for quite awhile on its own after you charge it up.
