Lights & Tools

This rather nasty-appearing device is actually quite useful, well-made, and sports a distinguished pedigree of service with our armed forces (60+ yrs). Featuring a specially annealed high carbon steel blade, the Pal is extremely strong and works great for chopping up kindling for the fire. The chisel-sharp sickle hook works great for sweeping an unimproved campsite free of ground-level sprouts and saplings to make for a more comfortable tent site. Unusual in form, the Pal fits your hand nicely and is so well balanced, it truly feels like an extension of your arm. Black oxide coating prevents rust and corrosion, and a “safety toe” one inch from the end of the axe side of the tool reduces deflective injuries. Cordura belt sheath included. Total length of 17". 1 lb. 14 oz.

Cleverly masquerading as a key, these little devices clip onto your key ring and contain a plethora of tools in a very compact format. The 6-in-1 features a straight/serrated blade, three screwdrivers and a bottle opener. Very handy for something that weighs a quarter of an ounce and is only 2.75" long when closed. That’s a lotta fob. So unobtrusive you may forget you have one with you. (Mr. Subjective — “Have carried one through TSA maybe 100 times. Never a problem.”)

When it’s a question of survival, this medical multitool answers loud and clear with features to handle an emergency situation and everyday applications. The durable blade is forged from heat optimized high-carbon 420 stainless steel, reinforced with a lightweight, glass-filled nylon thermoplastic handle material. In addition to the folding shears, you’ll also find a strap cutter, ring cutter, 5cm ruler, oxygen-tank wrench and carbide glass breaker. Integrated lanyard ring and included molded polymer holster and replaceable pocket clip make it easily accessible. Some EMTs use these to cut unlucky riders out of their expensive (and thusly permanently ruined) riding suits. Boo! Hiss! Closed length 5”. 5.8 oz.

It’s hard to beat the allure and practicality of titanium construction. Around two inches long with a screw-type connector.

This kit comes complete with a lightweight, cork-handled graphite rod, reel, fishing line and a tackle box (you provide the tackle). The ball-bearing-driven, open-faced reel is a nice, smooth-running, stainless steel, brass and aluminum instrument with drag and clutch options and can be easily switched for right or left handed anglers. Pole assembles securely in seconds to 6' and disassembles to 15.75".

There’s plenty more space inside the soft-sided, foam packed bag for worms, lure spray, more tackle, sunscreen, etc. Easily fits in a rear or rack bag, pannier or backpack or can be strapped on anywhere there’s space. Rod & reel alone weigh only 12 oz. Entire kit weighs about 1.5 lbs. Kit is 18"×8.5"×3.5".

Sturdy aluminum capsule securely stores your…um, stuff. Inside storage dimensions measure approximately 3"×.75", with a threaded center closure and a waterproof O-ring seal. Two included keyrings allow fitment to keys, zipper pulls or bag straps, or easily store in a pocket, tank bag or under seat. 3.25"×1". Assorted colors.

This is a military-grade digging tool for trenches and holes. In current US military use and equipped with a powder-coated, carbon steel shovel head and a serrated blade edge, it is designed specifically to conquer tough digging problems in all types of terrain. The foldable body is made of an anodized aluminum shaft and glass-filled nylon handle, which is nicely ergonomic. A difference you’ll feel if you have to dig for more than a few minutes. 23.75” open (9.25” closed) x 6” wide. Weighs 2.3 lbs.

"Why do we sell pooping-in-the-woods trowels? Because we also carry all those Sporks. What goes in must come out. These also present and reinforce a perspective about riding and ‘exploring the world’. I’ve carried the folding steel one (#1584) for years, and a small roll of TP flattened inside a zip-closed plastic bag. Boot-heels work only on the softest soil. Having a trowel along frees one to ride and camp just about anywhere, anytime. Which is the point."
