Just something cool I wanted to share

Vintage Swiss Army Flashlight

There aren’t many things made today that are higher in quality than their original counterparts from years, if not decades ago. That brand new LED powered flashlight you carry around everywhere for emergencies is bright, effective and energy efficient, but will it be around in a decade? Ok, probably, but it has no character. This Vintage Swiss Army Flashlight was actual army issue some two decades and for good reason. It does green light. It does red light. It does the obligatory clear, but it also does Morse code. Since it has a brand new battery, it’ll be good for service for quite some time.
$35

Yes Mam, I saw that one earlier in the day by Greg. It has to be a winner and has my approvel before I get to try it. What a great idea, Greg must really do some good outdoor thinking. I wish he would help me more on this site.

Tell you who you should try to get to help you here. Dave Taylor the guy that makes these. He is a wonderful old hermit in the desert and is an IKC member

Terry, I have never used that one but it sure looks like it would do great. Miss Jan tell Dave Taylor to come on over we could work together.

Never owned a Camelbak b4 but they are really nice!!It was way more convenient on a mountainside than taking bottle outta gear bag.I used the Branton Axe as a climbing aid n the spike is great for this.The boots were not uncomfortable and helped alot with traction on the rocky,crumbly mountainside.
