Big lots and Lowes have the regular hand crank versions. They are the size of a double C cell flashlight with a crank.

They are also available at Smokey Mountain Knife Works online catalog, Coleman camping store online has them for around 20 too.
Personally I like them ebcause you don't have to fumble for batteries.

I'm going to check Coleman's for Christmas! I love Coleman's name. I own a lot of their products for camping and survival. Is it at the Coleman store? or online?

thanks for the heads up. i will swing by the local big lots and see if i can round me up one or two of them

you can find them at bed bath and beyond too

i saw them at walmart too.
I dont know how many of you are walmart fans or haters...
but still , its available !

I like the idea of a crank light. I had never heard of them before. Thanks so much for telling us about them.
