1) Hello, hopsscout .... welcome abord...
2) sorry to hijack your thread but
I guess Polak187 wants to stress the importance of redundancy in survival gear, which is a good point......

But all those corkscrews on the same handle are not a good example. You loose it, you loose all your options.

You should rather EDC different types of corkscrews :
- standard pig tail
- dual blade (no screw)
- air pressure "corkscrew" (no screw either in fact)
- endless screw
- collapsible corkscrew
- "butterfly" corkscrew
- and so on ...

that's real redundancy .... <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
