It may just be cheap junk, but if someone buys it, it may start them off. And it still puts them ahead of the people who just carry a beer and an out-of-range cell phone.

I was looking in here last week, and the registered users were outnumbered by the "anonymous users" EIGHT to one!

Come on in, Anonymous Users! The info is good, the people are nice, and the water's fine! <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I like the case often I buy the all in one deals just to scavage the custum cases.

Did anyone see the nomad Utensil thing.

Yeah. I actually thought that the Nomad was pretty cool. I might order one to test it out.

I have this bulky Ozark Trail Brand Knife, Fork, Spoon, Bottle Opener, Corkscrew Combo in my BOB right now. All the utencils are full size, beefy, fold up and connect together into a relatively small package, but still it takes up a decent amount of space and it's heavy.

I like the case myself. I was thinking much the same thing.

TELL me about it. The people I work with are the nicest, but their idea of being prepared is carrying a cell phone.

They don't wear wristwatches, and they say the light from their cell phones would serve to guide them in an emergency.

I have showed them a bit of what I carry, but they grin and call me Eeyore. Sigh.

Beats nothing, and might be a good start for someone.

Yea, I did... And I am trying to hold my right hand(that is heading for my credit card) with my left hand, but my right arm is stronger...

That reminds me of a kind of funny story that happened to me. Back before I EDC'd my trusty Ritterphotonlight with me, we had the power go out while I was at work. Well, I was not only at work, I was actually sitting in a stall in the men's room. Though some parts of the building have emergency lighting the men's room was not one of them. I was instantly in pitch black darkness.

Though it really wantn't what one might call a survival situation I did STOP (Stop-Think-Observe-Plan). I had one of the old PageWriters on my belt (the clamshell text pagers) and used the screen light as a flashlight. It was enough to ... uh ... finish up, wash my hands, and find the door. Even the halls were incredibly dark, but I managed to find my way back to my desk where I did have a flashlight waiting.

Moral of the story:

1. Don't get caught with your pants down.

2. Don't underestimate the need for some kind of EDC light source.

3. Even the glow of a cell phone (or pager) can make a big difference.

4. Proper sanitation (washing hands) is important even in an "emergency" situation.
