In the dark of winter

So. Winter, long north of the polar circle ... Charging options? 
Been thinking of the biolite stove for emergency topping on phone. Other?

Just things to charge your phone or full on power?

If both is an option, I would love to hear your thoughts.
I have today an all "analog" setup. Woodstove, paraffin lamps and candles.

Pedal charger might work.

Yea those are the two I can think of right off the bat. What I would suggest is getting a treadmill motor and making a pedal charger with that. If you get a pole, make the blades, and cut holes in the wheel of the treadmill motor, you can also use it as a wind turbine. So that's two for two.
