You may have a hand generator laying in your garage. I have seen where people take an old battery powered drill and put a crank in the chuck and make a generator out of them. 




If you trip with a crew and some of them are kids with boundless energy that needs to be channeled so as NOT to drive the adults crazy, taking turns cranking a DIY generator might be an option for you.  ;) ;D ;D



ST I think you may have hit on something there.  Bring a video game that is a battery hog and a hand crank generator. Maybe bring the pull behind generator and on moving day tell them the faster they paddle the more it generates.
