Just got a new Izula Kit and Basic E&E from knivesshipfree.com
Looking at a small set of Ranger Beads, 3 miles.
The fire flint the kits comes with, also used the 2 split rings to be used to make a trap with. Have a photon micro light and the whistle put into the handle.
So we have a light, a whistle, paracord, a trigger for trapping, ranger beads to see how far we walked, just missing a small compass and we would be set, all in ONE with the Izula as the anchor.
I could have used the RAT FireKit on the hook and hang it off the bottom of the knife to add a the compass needed, plus tinder and have a spare battery for the flashlight as well.
This is the first time I have tried to wrap anything since I was about 10 years old. When I was younger (1976) a teenage girl used to come over and ride the pony my grandfather bought for me and my brother. She showed me how to braid things and make a key chain out of blue and yellow plastic strips, you older guys and gals like me remember those things.
Anyway, about 3 hours later (after doing and redoing the designs until I came to these), 2 minor cuts to fingers, one cut in a finger crease and 1 stab into my thigh, cutting through my jeans, here we are.
RATS are VERY unforgiving knives, you make a mistake and they will bite you, but the coin is two sided. I know that if I ever had to use my RAT for self defence it would really mess someone up, no doubt.
Just wanted to say a HUGE Thank you to Derrick and knivesshipfree.com
