Make a wire 20ft long to throw over a tree branch for an extra antenna length.
I've tried several of the popular hand crank ones, underwhelmed, fiddlely.
My current one is a bit over the top: https://www.amazon.com/Skywave-Shortwave-Weather-Airband-Portable/dp/B00QMTI6YK/
Its overkill, but light and two AA batteries last forever.
Yeah see thats what I wanted to do, I was running a lot of my stuff on a charger but it wasn't worth it. The dollar store sells packs 8 double A's for a dollar and its worth just keeping them close to your core so the cold doesn't sap them and using them as you need them in everything. Plus I have nothing essential running on a battury mostly quality of life items like a radio and mini lamp. I might keep my charger for its cell phone attachment which does make it worth it for my longer excursions in the summer.
I do need to swap my gear over to AA, I need a new mini lamp and a decent AA radio. Maybe I could look for some more light quality of life shit as well. Might just get this actually:
