The Storm Sentinel Emergency Kit has everything needed to surive blackouts, hurricanes, vehicle breakdowns and other emergency situations when power is not available. It provides equal protection and convenience while camping, boating, hunting or doing other activities in remote or isolated places. It also contains an AM/FM short wave radio, flashlight, cell phone charger, compass, whistle, magnifying glass, and weatherproof carry on bag in an aluminum storage case. All of the utensils in Storm Sentinel can operate manually and independently without batteries, an electrical connection or any source of energy but powered by just a few hand cranks.

Independent tests have shown that one minute of recharging the radio by its built in hand crank will provide up to 30 minutes of playing time, a hand trigger generator powers the LED environmental flashlight which the light can be used for up to 15,000 hours, and its battery is designed to be recharged up to 600,000 times. The cell phone charger provides approximately six minutes of talk time and 30 minutes on standby for two minutes of charging which makes it possible to charge and talk at the same time. Since charging input is greater than the power expended by the cell phone, the user is never without a charged unit.
