THESE TOOLS WILL IMPROVE YOUR CHANCES OF SURVIVAL

Early man started out with nothing more than the advantages provided by opposable thumbs. Life was tough and no aspect of survival was easy or effcient. Even the most basic parts of staying alive required extensive effort and no small amount of luck. Eventually, our ancestors’ thinking process began to kick in and they slowly started to create, use and improve tools. The most basic tools, such as hammerstones and sharp stone flakes, came first and were followed by others that made life a little easier and less of a constant struggle. While the mere existence of tools won’t increase the likelihood that one will survive an emergency, the skilled use of the tools in this collection can help you take care of more than just the rudimentary elements of survival. Modern materials and designs mean less time can be spent on satisfying the core necessities and more time can be dedicated to improving your overall situation.

GEAR GUIDE

Benchmade 365 Outlast Folder

Overview

Rescue situations often require more than one “right tool”, so why not have all those tools in the same place? The 365 Outlast, with the new Benchmade OPTION lock, does just that. The strength and versatility of the AXIS lock on two blades gives you the confidence needed to get the job done. The S30V drop-point blade opens quickly with the traditional thumb stud and the thicker, fully serrated, opposing-bevel 3V blade uses the integrated O2 wrench hole for its deployment. The carbide-tipped glass breaker and integrated rescue hook round out this tool’s capabilities.
