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".

21st Century Walking Stick
Walking sticks have moved into the space age! This walker's/hiker's friend has futuristic features and the look of an inter-galactic weapon. The high-quality collapsible aluminum stick extends from a packable 27" to a full 56", and has a carbide tip with a rubber cover, a removable 2" dia disk to keep the stick from sinking into soft ground, and an internal shock absorber that can be turned on or off. At the top, a 5-LED flashlight with a 90° pivot is embedded in a molded-plastic cane-style handle to light your way. For mountain trekking, lengthen the stick, slip the adjustable canvas wrist strap over your hand, and clutch the stick by the padded foam section below the cane handle. Directions, diagrams, and 1100mm to 1350mm gradations are marked clearly on the 3-draw pole. We'll pick a black or anodized red, green, blue, silver or purple version for you.

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.

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.

Be Like A Boy Scout
Always be prepared. Even if it's not raining, toss one of these one-size-fits-pretty-much-everybody (they're 50" x 80") yellow or clear polyethylene hooded ponchos in the car, another in your backpack, a third in your coat pocket or purse. They're thin, emergency-type protection and come folded up in a packet about 3" x 5" x 1/2" thick. You get (3) because you just can't be too prepared.

RFID-Blocker Sheet
Saves you from info-snatching electronic pickpockets, and from leaning against the gas pump and emptying your bank account. (The downside of Radio Frequency IDentification.) Called the "EMvelope," it's an 8-3/8" x 3-1/2" x .012" thick trim-able electromagnetic sheet (think Faraday cage with a floating ground) that blocks radio frequencies up to 2.4GHz. Cut it to size and slip it in your wallet, or wherever, and protect the data on your credit cards, "fast-pay" devices, ID cards, EZ-Pass, or anything else with an embedded RFID chip, including the new U.S. passports.
