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.

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 Denali. 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".

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.

Ward off predators, call for help, or just ref a nice game of hoops out there. We’ll send you (2) whistles per order.

Go ahead and carry this cooler into a departmental meeting before you head out on Friday—we cleared it with your boss.

Put your silverware on your belt. This 4-1/4" camping implement separates into a fold-out fork and spoon, and the spoon has a fold-out knife at the other end so you can use it with the fork to cut your pork chops. Also includes a corkscrew (we recommend a nice Grenache or Tempranillo with pork chops), a can/bottle opener and the ubiquitous awl. In brushed steel with a black canvas belt pouch that you should put the thing into fork-down or the tines might catch on the fabric and make you crazy.

Our classic Sailing Knife isn’t just for sailors. It’s ideal for sailing (thus the name), but also for fishing, camping, emergency prep and generally cutting stuff. Stainless steel body has an engraved 2" ruler on one side and 5cm on the other. Has a honed 2-1/4" blade, 2-1/2" marlinspike for picking lines and loosening knots (you’d know that if you were a sailor), a shackle key for opening shackles on rigging (again, if you were a sailor), a bottle/can opener and a loop to tie it to you so you don't drop it overboard (which many a sailor has done). Measures 3-3/4" long x 1-5/16" tall and approx 1/2" thick. This is a sturdy tool that you’ll love even if you go your whole life without ever hoisting a jib or flaking a main.
