Thanks all esp. Photonician. I wasn't aware of the older GP5. An AA-powered version would suit me well. If you're not keen on the Tecsun, would you recommend anything in the same line? Best, N.

Thx Billy. The writeup on the Roberts is that the older FM-only version was excellent and the DAB version is OK. I'm havering about DAB; I'd miss Radio6 but this is an emergency radio...

Thanks Broch. I like Majority, having owned another of their products for years. Keen to hear any other suggstions?

Hello guys, hands-on EDC-type suggestions welcomed. I want to include a small radio in my emergency kit. Objective is picking up broadcasts, not two-way communications. I definitely need FM and would like digital, but I'm aware that it often means poor battery life. My expectation was that I'd...

Hi guys, thanks for all responses (this one will run and run) and especially to Erbswurst who gave me so much reading. Delighted to say that I chose exactly the same Chinese waterproof non-tin as Broch, but I'm considering going to metal for cooking opportunities. Does anyone make a folding mug...

Thanks guys. That's a lot of suggestions; I'm digesting and will post the eventual solution here in due course in case anyone's interested. Re: TeeDee's question, will post on the appropriate forum. Best, N.

Hello guys, my first-ever post here and it's a boring one. (Sorry -- must try harder.) I'm trying to pack as much as possible into a tiny survival kit. Can anyone recommend small paracetomol and ibuprofen pills (that is, round tablets, not capsules) presently available on the UK market? I found...
