Beacon: Waterproof, Solar Powered Survival Device

From the co-founder of Smith & Bradley watches comes a really cool new product aimed at the survival/preparedness market, and it’s called the Beacon. The Beacon is a solar-powered, rechargeable, waterproof, and crush-proof case for electronic devices.

The Beacon is currently up on Kickstarter, and I’m really looking forward to it hitting the market this summer. As is usually the case with Kickstarter, this is your chance to get in on the ground floor and get the product at a discount, in this case nearly 50% off of the target retail.

Check out the Kickstarter video to see how it works:
