Life Science Tools of the Trade

18 camping/survival features in 1 compact unit….  That was the gift the one company gave away at their breakfast show.  The quality of these “gifts” never ceases to amaze me.  I, of course,  am going to tell you about each of the 18 features.    Now, these are in no particular order.

1.  Telescope

2.  Compass

3.  Drawer - Not really a feature by my standards but more a handy storage place with four functions.  (That’s what the directions say, I couldn’t make this stuff up.)  A convenient place where you’ll find the fork, needle, lead containers, fishing hooks and line.   Obviously, the four “functions” are to store the four different items. 

4.  Needle

5.  Fork - I’m not sure what to say about the fork…you have to see it to believe it.

6.  Fishing Kit - don’t expect to catch any large fish.

7.  Magnify Glass - or if you’re on the tv show Survivor, consider it a fire starter.  (I guess that would make 19 features!)

8.  Torch, or as most of us would call it, a flashlight.  Batteries not included,  please supply 2 AAA batteries.

9.  Whistle - Jen has verified, the whistle does work.

10.  D-Ring - They recommend attaching to a key ring on a belt loop for daily use.  I think you’re better off if you attach the fishing line to it and use it as a make shift fishing pole.

11.  Knife

12.  Can Opener

13.  Hook Remover - Not sure exactly where or what this is but they say it’s there. 

14.  Cap Opener - Actually it’s just another name for the can opener.

15.  Fish Scraper - This confirms it.  You’ll only be catching small fish.

16.  Screw Driver- regular not philips

17.  Ruler - Actually, it’s the fish scraper with cm markings on it. 

and last but not least:

18.  Wire Stripper - For all the wires you encounter in the wilderness. 

I can’t wait for Jen to go camping to try this out!
