All sold pending funds. Thanks!


I'm cleaning up some of my gear and put together a couple small survival necklaces and a keychain with quality components. This will cover some important essentials that you should always carry in a compact and light weight form.



Sold pending funds Necklace #1:

Weight is just 2.1oz/60g.

Components:

Bootlace lanyard:
Forms the necklace, could be used for improvising/repairs, fire bow, tinder, or.. a spare bootlace!

Zipper pull whistle:
Loud and shrill signaling device. Also forms a break-away for the necklace-- I don't like knotted line around my neck.

Light My Fire mini firesteel:
Waterproof, effective fire starter. Can also be used for night-time signaling. I can include the factory scraper if you like.

Spy capsule:
Waterproof storage, includes 3 Tinder Quick tabs.

Victorinox Classic knife:
Knife blade, firesteel scraper, scissors, nail file, tweezers, toothpick, screwdriver.

Inova micro LED light:
Light source has high/low/flash modes, batteries can be changed without tools.

Silva Nexus 40 compass:
The smallest high quality compass I've found-- it is the size of my thumbnail. Liquid filled, with easy to control motion. Luminous card too.

Condition: the light has a bit of time on it-- not much. The knife has has light use and has some normal pocket wear-- very light scratches on the scales. The rest are new.

$25 including first class mail to US addresses. Please email dwambaugh at yahoo dot com rather than PM. I take PayPal too.

This is my own concoction, using a large spy capsule with a ferrocerium rod expoxied to the side. There are 4 Tinder Quick tabs in the capsule. The capsule is long enough for matches too. A light My Fire scraper is included.

Knife blade, firesteel scraper, scissors, nail file, tweezers, toothpick, screwdriver.
