<p>I enjoy hiking but I don't give away some gadgets like flashlight (if hiking at night) and a smartphone for the GPS. I recently took a long hike that went well into the night (about 18 hours hiking straight, with a few rest stops) and found that my hand crank flashlight and USB charger are quite cumbersome to be driven while walking.</p>

<p>Do you know if there is any device that would draw power from other body movement that would have enough power for a flashlight and a USB charger?</p>
