From Coleman , known primarily in the US for their camping and outdoorsy equipment , make out the King Cobra multifunction lantern , TV , AM and FM + weather set wireless , and siren ( ! ? ) , perfect for sit by the flaming and watching mealy newscasts on a tiny black and white screen . Not spoilt for $ 90 , I guess , but I ’d rather devote a little more and have it funk down , with an liquid crystal display cover and onboard GPS ( although that certainly would have up the price ) . Coleman claims it is “ slosh proof ” which I take to mean that it ’ll survive a little water ( say , a light rain ) but do n’t attempt to bodyboard or anything . It also requires nine C - cell to operate in the field , mostly , I assume , for the power - hungry CRT . Could be a worthwhile addition to your tenting gear , but a little updating might make it less bulky and more suitable — and I require to be able-bodied to wind it up in lieu of batteries .
