OUTDOORSY

Don’t enter the woods, jungle, desert or open highway without this beastly (16)-piece, folding multitool, which includes an extendable tactical shovel and axe with hex wrenches in both blades, a hammer, knife, saw, harpoon, nail puller, Phillips screwdriver, flashlight, battery charger, compass, whistle, bottle opener, sturdy carrying case and more. Made of stainless steel and aluminum, with bad to the bone black, knurled handle sections, which are easier to grip in a downpour. Shovel is 39” when fully extended. Dig a trench for warmth, bury your food, chop and saw wood, signal for help, build some stuff and stave other some other stuff—all with this monster tool that breaks down and stores in a handsome black case that measures approx 13” x 11-1/2” x 5” and tells the world you’re serious about surviving. Every outdoorsman and prepper should have one—or two, just to be safe! Under 7lbs in its case!

Tube tents are tubes in the sense that they're one piece, with floors, and can be used as shelters, ground cover or or blankets in emergencies or disasters. This one is bright orange nylon with an aluminized coating on the inside for insulation. Measures 82" x 36". Includes 23 feet of nylon rope for hanging between trees or posts and (4) 9" zinc-plated steel stakes.

Emergency underpants in a can. Says it all, doesn't it? Quite stretchable in a Tyvekish white fabric, "one pair fits most adults." They're hip-hugger, semi-bikini, translucent type drawers, so despite the smiling man wearing them and a red bow-tie on the can, some (insecure) guys might find these just a touch jeune fille-ish. "Safe, Sanitary, Secure." Says so right on the 3" x 1-1/2" x 2/3" flip-top metal can. Better buy (3) in case of a long weekend.

This rounded 2” karambit-style blade, called the Hideaway Knife, comes in a quick-release, hard shell sheath that’s olive tan to match the hand grip. Blade looks like the talon of an eagle, and you can hang it (in the sheath), around your neck (black beaded necklace included), or stuff it into your boot or pocket.

Some things just feel good in your hands. This set of (2) nail clippers includes a big one, 3-3/8" long, for that gnarly big-toe nail you can’t seem to saw through, and a small one, 2-1/2" long, which is perfect for travel or a keychain. They use standard lever-action to chomp down, and are made of ferrous brushed metal, with a simple sleek design.

They don’t give them away in bars anymore, so you’d better buy this Matchstick Fire Starter. Has a 1-1/2" x 1-1/8" x 3/8" flint housing and a 1” striker with a small cotton wick around the end. Fill it with a little lighter fluid and you’re ready to start something. Includes a 1/2” clip to hang it on something. A must for camping.

Before fishing got all modern with high-tech reels and rods, and lines and hooks, our ancestors caught seafood dinners with pointy things. Return to those simpler days with this 9” Fishing Spear Head from Crate Club by Martin Brothers. Technically it’s a tactical survival tool, but that just means it’s super-high quality and durable. Made of 3/16” thick stainless steel, you can use it as a (2)- or (4)-point spear. Assembles easily and folds flat for storage. All you supply is the stick that the spear attaches to, and the hunting spirit. The fish will respect you more with a spear—trust us.

Well, that's what the manufacturer says, but the bag doesn't say anything, and we're pretty confident it doesn't know if you use it for basketball, picnics, or even the dreaded Pilates. Measures 20" x 15" x 8" in soft polyester with a removable interior zippered pouch, open front pocket, and a handle attached to double straps that you could slide a yoga mat into if you had a yoga mat. Comes in assorted colors, and we'll pick one that'll match your eyes. Cheap at four times the price.

This 300 Lumen LED light is a mighty mite. Just under 4-1/2" long x 1" dia, you slide the sleeve and the beam zooms from a flood to a don't-stare-into-this focused spot. In black or gun metal anodized aluminum, it's weatherproof and shockproof with a latching button switch and a pocket clip. Depress the button halfway when it's on and it goes into a rapid-flash mode for emergency signaling. Visible for 275 meters. Five hour life with the included 1-"AA" battery and a 110K+ hour bulb life.

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!

From Farpoint®, this (2)-pack of Slim Fit Headlamps delivers super-bright light in (2) headbands that weigh a scant 0.14 lbs each. Lights are 300 lumens, with (2) beam levels, (6) hours of battery use and a total of (26) COB LEDs in two rows 3-3/4” wide.

This isn't a book, but it's definitely book-ish. Looks like a leather-bound volume from the Bodleian but it's just a little wooden box, approx 8-1/2" x 5" x 2" (7" x 3-7/8" x 1-5/8" inside) that's perfect for stashing the jewels, cash, or whatever you need to stash in plain sight on the shelves.

Call us crazy but we love coming home from the wilderness alive. This is why we always carry a survival whistle like this one. It’s safety orange, and 3” long with an 8" bungee lanyard. It’s also plastic with a dual chamber design and no moving parts, so it won’t freeze up or stick to your lips in extreme cold. Ward off predators, call for help, or just ref a nice game of hoops out there. We’ll send you (2) whistles per order.

Not when you’ve got this puppy at your side. Our latest and greatest COB LED flashlight is 7" long, rated up to 2,000 lumens with a visible distance of 100 meters. Has three modes—max, low, and strobe—and is focusable, but the best part is not needing to hunt for batteries because it has a built-in rechargeable battery rated at 2,200 mAh. Just plug it into a USB charger and you’re good to go when you need it. The real best part is it has a second USB port to charge your phone or other devices, which makes it nice for camping, fishing or other adventures. How’s that for handy!?

Our most stylish trash bin, this 8” dia beauty is made of black polyester over springy wire. To store it, simply push it down and secure (2) hook’n’loop straps, making it about 1/2” high. When you’re ready to use it again, undo the straps and let it pop open to 10” tall. Has (2) carry handles that hang on the outside, nicely out of the way, when you’re using it. Also works great as a bin for clean socks, rolled up napkins, tennis or pickle balls, or any supplies you need to carry somewhere but not bring back home (which is when you’d fold this bin back down again).

"Laser" safety lights each with super bright LEDs run by (2) "AA" batteries that you supply. It's square and has a flashing or steady LED lamp visible up to 2500 feet (distance may be exaggerated). A 2" x 2-1/2" red plastic reflecting lens covers (3) lamps. Hook it on your belt or pack with the belt clip, use the included elastic strap for arm or leg mounting, or the included aluminum flange to attach it to your bike. It's great for general use as a warning device or as an emergency signal for roadside breakdowns.
