A colleague at work was doing some research for a project and came across this doodad./ Knowing I'm a closet survival nut he called me over and showed it to me. Looks like its made by High Gear. Anybody know anything about it? Looks like a great little compact kit. I can see a thermometer, a whistle, a light, a compass, a magnifying glass, what I think is a scratch pad for the matches, and the match container at the back.

If it's not constructed out of inferior materials, I reckon you could carry something far worse than that in your pocket as your go-to pocket flashlight. I am a firm believer in the Department of Redundancy Department, if it is built well, looks cool to me. :D
 
Wow, I didn't even realize that. I left for quite a few years and came back a little over a year ago. Maybe I need me one of them 5,000 post giveaways or something. :)

I wonder how that dry compartment on that contraption works? I wonder if it really is a "dry" compartment or if that is simply wishful thinking...You could still put a Spark-Lite in there and some fine steel wool and you can shake the water out of steel wool...it would work.
 
I am a sucker and love doodads like this. I would probably buy one, never carry it , and then put it away. Find it mothts later and then give it to my young nephew who would think its the greatest gizmo in the world.
 
I'm not a super fan of all in one items...if you loose it or something happens to it you're SOL.
 
This is probably a dumb question, but what do you need a thermometer for in a survival situation? (or even hunting/camping)
