New EDC item added

I just bought a Grundig Mini 400 portable AM/FM/SW Radio. So far I am very pleased. It is small enough to be part of my every day carry and functions decently. It takes two AAA batteries, which have lasted 3 days so far. The shortwave allows you to listen to international news in the event of a regional disaster. For $30 @ radioshack it was well worth it. Grundig also makes other radios with optional added antenna for better reception.
