G.I. Can Openers
Newly manufactured P-38 Can Opener from the same folks who supply them to Uncle. It folds! into 1-1/2" x 5/8" flat piece which is easily carried and lost. Reportedly works much better than the Asian knockoffs for those who really want to gain entry to the Spam!

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.

Throw a Net over It, Marge!
We wouldn't try to capture 'gators with it, but this 4-ft x 6-ft black nylon, elastic (not-un-bungie-like) cargo net should trap anything else in the back of the pickup, van or kids' bedrooms. Stretches to about 6' x 9', with openings that are 7" square, stretching to maybe a foot, and 16 carabiner-style plastic hooks. Or just hang a couple on a wall for a nice Spiderman effect.

Safety Mirror
For the shaving kit, the campground or the kids, nothing says no nasty glass shards like plexiglass. This unframed, unbreakable, back-surfaced mirror is 3-1/2" x 2-1/2" x 3/32" thick.

Un-Bunsen Burner
So you don't have a gas jet in the garage? You don't think Margie and Ted are old enough to handle the high temperatures of a Bunsen burner? Our alcohol lamps are the answer. They burn alcohol (available at the hardware store), and are hot enough to boil water, to soften glass tubing for bending, and to generate the chemical reactions generally called for in science projects. Lamp A is shaped like a long-necked ink well, 3-1/2" tall x 3" dia at its widest point and comes with a wick assembly and a handy little glass lid/extinguisher. Lamp B is 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" glass bowl with a wick assembly that brings the whole to a height of 4-1/2".

How Old Are Your Pork Chops?
Don't know, do you? You need these Freezer Labels with two lines to record the item and date (and snowflake decorations at no extra charge). Or use to identify those goodies you canned, baked, pickled or re-packaged to fool the other mothers at the school bake sale. Our each is a package of (24) 2" x 3" peel-and-stick labels.

Pocket Professionals, Outdoor
Cheaper -- a whole lot cheaper -- than hiring a guide, plus these fit in your pocket (which is only true of the tiniest human guides). These hunting and fishing helpers are written and illustrated by professionals and are dense with information and step-by-step, full-color instructions for deer and duck hunters and fisherpersons. They're printed on heavy laminated 8-1/2" x 11" stock folded to a pocket-sized 4-1/4" x 5-1/2". The series includes how to site and work a deer stand; place your shot effectively and safely; field dress and quarter a deer; identify diving and puddle ducks; cast for and trigger bass; work with minnow rigs; identify trout, salmon and catfish -- plus how to stay alive and stop the bleeding when things go a touch wrong. Original retail price of each was $4.95.

Masks, Gas, Russian
Assembled in the U.S. from Russian parts, anyway. What we have here is a gas mask for children, although frankly, the smallest of them are really more Yorkshire-terrier sized. New, but surplus, and while they're rated NBC for nuclear/biological/chemical contaminants, they carry absolutely no guarantees. These are to be used as part of a collection, or for costume/novelty purposes. These adult masks come with an integrated, screw-on filter canister, carrying pouch, and (6) plastic eye-lens covers. The medium ones are for adults with a facial circumference (measure around the crown of the head and under the chin) between 25” and 25-3/4”.

D-Day Crickets
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
KLEE-klik it says when you push the back of this little metal toy with the picture of a cricket on it. Sounds something like a real cricket, and just like the brass versions that U.S. paratroopers carried on D-Day for communicating in the hedgerows around Ste. Mare Eglise. Also just like the one Sister Mary Inviolata used to coordinate precision kneeling/standing exercises during our Confirmation practice, which was only slightly more organized than D-Day. You will get (6) cricket clickers for $2.95.

Field & Forest Guide
Titled "The Field and Forest Handy Book," this volume has been justifiably in print since 1906. Written by Daniel C. "Uncle Dan" Beard, the founder of the Sons of Daniel Boone and one of the founders of the BSA, it's a compendium of eternally relevant woodland lore, from building cabins, sleds, boats, and bridges to camping in swamps. The only part we skipped was on how to cook a muskrat. (We know a place that delivers.) Loaded with illustrations. In soft cover from David Godine's Nonpareil Books, 428 pages.
