When we look for the last straw during those emergency situations, a functional device can definitely be a boon to battle out the furies of nature. Priced at $65 (6,000 yen), the Sterling Multi PowerStation 5600 is a multifunctional gadget that produces hand-cranked, solar energy to play built-in AM/FM radio, with 3 rechargeable AA batteries, power an LED flashlight and integrates adapters to recharge your cellphones and other portable devices, so you may remain in touch and seek help in time. And it’s not too bad a gadget for normal conditions either!
