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".

Survival Kit
Someday when you're lost in the woods, you'll be very, very glad you ordered this compact survival kit. It's the classic camp director's whistle, raised to new heights. The 4-1/2" x 1-1/8" dia orange-plastic treasure hangs around your neck on a yellow nylon cord. On one end, the whistle. On the other, a compass. Unscrew the compass, and it reverses to a signal mirror, and reveals a 2-1/2" deep waterproof compartment for aspirin or medicinal brandy - or for the matches you're going to strike against the 3/4" long sparker. No, it's not overkill for a teacher to wear it on the playground. 'S cool.

Go Ballistic
Nothing to it with William Gurstelle's "Backyard Ballistics," a soft-cover, 169pp compendium by an engineer on constructing rockets, cannons (carbide and spud), flingers, tennis ball mortars, balloons, fire kites, and other intriguing devices, all with common household materials. The detailed text includes parts lists, illustrated instructions, photos and quite sensible and necessary safety precautions. From Chicago Review Press.

Godzilla's Glow Stick
A bright, green glow stick for guys with big paws. Who are either at a really good concert, or stalled on a dark road.

Compass Pairing
Our each is a cute little pair of 1" dia x 1/4" thick brass-body compasses, (1) with a black face and (1) with a white face, both marked in 2° increments. They have 1/4" slip-rings on top for hanging on a lanyard or keychain, but creative people will also see the makings for extremely fashionable earrings for Camp Fire leaders, forest rangers, or two lost pirates.
