Product Description
I'm a fan of the Tool Logic mini tool kits. They are a sort of Swiss Army Watches Knife in card or money clip form. They are ingenious in design and something anyone, guy or gal, would love as a gift. The Survival Card is a bit nicer than the standard card in that it has a firestarter. This is a magnesium bar that issues some sparks, even in damp weather, when scraped over dry tinder (to get dry tinder in weather like we had this weekend, you can cut open a soaked dead limb and scrape out, carefully, the dry pith into a soft little ball.) The tweezers are metal (in my other card, they are resin, not as grabby) and there is also a compass and whistle. The whistle is nice and loud, but the compasse seems to me to be useless unless you remove the serrated blade because the metal will mess it up if it's near the compass. The red LED is bright enough for close work. Why red? It's a short wavelength and gives better resolution when seeing in the darkness, and the battery is a slim wafer, so a low-energy LED is what you can afford to have available. A maglite torch on your keychain would probably be more helpful to you, but in a pinch, this can help. All in all, a great little card weighing less than 2 oz and slim as a cracker.
