in case of an emergency, it’s always comforting to know you have access to all the essentials – and that’s not just enough battery-power to live-stream the situation via instagram, facebook or twitter. promising to provide the bare necessities of survival, gibson innovations (previously philips) have designed the ‘philips AE1120/00 portable survival-kit radio‘.

built for the outdoors – when you and your ‘indestructible’ smartphone aren’t (sic) – the little green gadget acts as a personal aid when times are tough. the radio features an FM, MW and LW radio but also a torch, siren, solar power, a built in micro-USB cable, and a self-powered crank to produce enough battery to charge your mobile phone – so you can at the very least check if it still functions.
