In a cheap gadget/gear buying mood.

[Shoki]

I've got twenty bucks to burn and I want a cool bit of suvival gear. I thought about a Mora, peanut lighter, another ferro rod, magnesium bar, or some 550 cord but I can't help but think that there's something really cool I'm forgetting about. I want something to use in either my PSK or my regular gear. Any ideas?

Check out countycomm's they have tons of cool stuff for under 20 bucks

Pencil sharpener. Haha

If you want something often overlooked that is well worth the $20, look at Tru-nord compasses. I've had mine since '05 and it is better looking with some age.

 

[ejes]

Ragnar's or county comm.

How about a good winter 2 qt cookpot from Open Country - $13.99 or $11 at campmor

Matched with a Sea-to-Summit long Alpha Light Spoon - $7.95

And you have a good camping/hiking cookset for winter - plenty of volume for melting snow, and long spoon for freezer bag/rehydration meals.

I bought these 2 weeks ago

You should be able to spend $20.00 at countycomm.com pretty fast, they have some really neat stuff there.

Why don't you put it away, save some more and buy something more substantial or use it to finance a trip?

Dealextreme has these little gadgets too. Interesting variations turn up all the time on ebay. I have one that was swag for the disaster movie, The Day After Tomorrow, the theme presumably being disaster preparedness.
