Steel Camping Utensil Knife Set
This is a new product and we are really excited about it! The quality
is just fantastic, and it's great looking too.
It's kind of like the famous Army knife, with a really great twist.
When you open the fork and the spoon, the center of the unit unlocks
and separates into two tools: One has a fork, bottle and can opener, and
a cork screw. The other half has a knife, spoon and a punch.
Another great feature is that the knife is on the side that has the
spoon. So, you can actually use a fork and knife at the same time with
two hands! Good idea.
Overall length about 3 3/4 inches.
The body is brushed stainless, and the utensils are gloss stainless.
Comes complete with nylon belt pouch too!

Magic Heat/Magic Stove EMERGENCY HEAT KIT
The kit includes:
1 Magic Heat Fuel Cartridge (4-6 hour)
1 Magic Stove
2 Grill Bars
A great emergency source of heat, light, and cooking fuel. This kit
is safe to use and transport. It has a screw cap for reuse, consistent
flame height and temperature, will not evaporate, and has an indefinite
shelf life. There is no flashback when lighting, and it is easy to extinguish.
Magic Heat lasts twice as long as alcohol fuels and eliminates wastage
with 100% fuel consumption, and a lower cost per burn hour. Magic
Heat leaves no odor in your food and will not carbon the bottom of pans.
Made in Canada.
The military is now using this Diethylene Glycol fuel gel as the replacement
for the old Trioxane Fuel Bars. This gel has a higher heat of combustion
per unit mass and its only combustion by-products are carbon dioxide and
water. When compared to Trioxane, it weighs less, burns hotter, and doesn't
give off toxic gases.
Simply tear open the pouch, squeeze the contents onto the ground or
onto your Esbit or Tri-Wing stove, shield from the wind and light with
a match.
Place your canteen cup over the flame and in less than 8 minutes you
will get boiling water!
The gel burns with a steady, blue flame of low luminosity and gives off
no smoke. In fact, the clear blue flame is all but invisible in daylight.
On average you should expect to get 12-15 minutes of useable flame from
a single pouch.
Three (3) pouches per box.

Super
Turbo Mini Can Opener
The military has been using these openers for years, and they work!
After going through a hurricane (Iniki in 1992), we discovered how important
a can opener really is! The day after the disaster, a few stores opened
up (among the rubble) to supply residents with necessities including canned
goods. The problem was that you couldn't find a can opener if your life
depended on it (and in some cases, it did).
Sold in two packs! Put one in your back pack, and the other in your
automobile glove compartment.

LifePack
Emergency Water Filter
The LifePack Emergency Water Filter ensures that you will have clean
water in any situation through safe and simple filtration.
The LifePack water filter provides up to 3 liters per day of clean drink
from nearly any surface water source. Over a 3 day period it will produce
over 9 liters (20 lbs) of clean drink. Use any water source, even muddy
or brackish water to generate clear drink. Purity levels are comparable
to reverse osmosis systems, and the filter meets EPA standards for the
removal of biological pathogens (viruses, bacteria, cysts). This technology
is being used by our military's elite fighting forces, and NASA to provide
for their hydration needs.
Makes up to three liters of clean sports drink a day for three days.
LifePack solves the problem of contaminated water by allowing you to
easily filter virtually any available water safely and efficiently where
ever you are.
LifePack uses forward osmosis to filter out dangerous organisms such
as bacteria, viruses and parasites.
Makes virtually any water drinkable
No Purifying chemicals
No Pumping
Makes a three day supply of clean drink
Removes viruses, bacteria and cysts from any water
The LifePack is easy to use. Simply put dirty water into the red port,
and one sports syrup charge into the green port. That's it. The water will
be filtered by the advanced forward osmosis membrane as it is drawn into
the LifePack’s inner chamber. When the process is complete, simply pour
the clean drink out and restart the system. No purifying chemicals are
required, nor is any power input needed other than the sports drink syrup
charges that drive the filtration process by osmosis.
Step 1: Open the Red port and fill with dirty water,
then close port.
Step 2: Remove green cap, and poor one Sports Drink
Syrup bottle (6 bottles included) into green port and then close.
Step 3: Wait 6-12 hours or until green side fills.
Step 4: When ready to drink, open red port and discard
left over dirty water and close port. Then open green port and pour clan
water into clean drinking container. Close green port.

Magnesium
Fire Starting Tool
Used by survival experts throughout the world as THE way to start a fire!
Magnesium in solid form is rather harmless, but when shaved into very
small pieces, the shavings can be ignited by a flint spark into a super
hot (5400°) fire. That's hot enough to ignite even damp wood!
Built into the side is a long flint. All you need is a knife to scrape
some material off of the edge of the tool, and to strike a spark.
