Bust Your Way Out
Dead-center in the "you don't need one 'til you really need one" category is this auto escape tool. It's a double-headed hardened steel hammer (one flat, one pointed) to break through car side windows, plus a guarded blade to cut seatbelts. A storable 5-1/4" long for your glove box/door pocket. Good to keep in any vehicle, but a must for every school bus.

Tasteful Tags
This large (5" x 2-3/4") gray luggage tag with a generous 2" dia, metal-buckled strap is so leatherishlike even the cow would have to look twice.

It's All A Matter Of Scale
You have (3) choices. Pay the $100 (and way, way up) overweight luggage fee, kneel gracefully on the floor and unpack your suitcase at the check-in counter, or buy this little digital scale. Small and handy, it will take up to 75 lbs (40kg) and show results in pounds, ounces, kilograms or grams, which means it's also useful at the farmer's market, and in your bass boat when you've just landed a whopper. Includes (2) "AAA" batteries and measures 4" x 2-1/4" x 1" overall with a slide-out folding handle and a J-hook.

Diamond Canteen
This 2-quart, olive-drab, rubber, pebble-finish canteen measures 7" square, but the spout's on a corner, so it's actually a diamond, doncha think? Approx 2-3/4" thick, it has a gasketed spout in the center of the screw cap and a keeper for the cap. At this price, we're thinking you should outfit the whole Cub Scout troop.

A Wallet To Match Your Fridge!
Meet the stainless steel wallet. Woven from stainless steel thread, the mesh feels like silk but prevents in-pocket scanning of credit cards and IDs. Extremely thin, extremely hip, and much more durable than skin from a dead cow. Measures approx 4-1/2" x 3-1/2" x 1/3" thick when folded and has (1) windowed ID pocket, (5) card slots, (2) pockets under the card slots and (2) compartments in the billfold area. A must for DeLorean fans.

A Working Wonder
If we had a category just for customers who lust after Jules Verne inventions and elegant gadgetry, this would be in it. The wonderful brass sundial, a reproduction of an antique, is approx 3" dia x 11/16" thick overall, and actually works! A latitudinal gauge lets you tilt the engraved dial to the correct angle for your location, and a bubble and three leveling feet allow the 1-1/2" dia lock-down compass to point in the precise direction. And if you never took it out into the sunshine, you'd still love it for the look and logic of it.

Beauteous Brass Sextant
Sextants came along after astrolabes but before GPS. (Just like you.) They're used for finding latitude and the distance between objects, and are still the non-electric, non-satellite-dependent back-up for navigators. Ours is a beauty in solid brass with glass optical components, at a tiny price. Measures approx 4-5/8" x 4-1/4" x 3-1/4" OA and comes in a very nice wooden case. Includes instructions for use, which you're going to need unless you went to Annapolis where they still teach it because computers can still go all kaflooey. (Note that well before computers started going kaflooey, compasses and sextants lost an adventurer here and there, too, so don't call us if you and the sextant set out for Madagascar and end up in Iceland.)

Mylar Warmth
They have the look of something designed for the space program. They're mylar, a paper-thin shiny metallic sheet, that comes in handy when your car breaks down in winter, or when you're separated from your climbing group on the slopes of Mt. McKinley. Barring that, they're also a perfect material for a do-it-yourself cold-climate Halloween costume-near impossible to rip by hand, but cut easily with scissors. There's no padding, so they wouldn't be too comfy on your bed, but they sure are warm. They both come folded about the size of a wallet. The Blanket is 52" x 82", the Sleeping Bag is 34" x 84".
