Unconventional/Uncommon/Unique Items in Your Kit

The hook is made of stainless steel, has three prongs which screw out and are stored withing the body of the hook. The back (where you would tie your cordage) unscrews and this is where you put the tines. It has a decent heft to it. I find it effective to use with paracord for straining up backpacks, food etc. in the woods. There is a larger model as well, but I wanted "micro".

It also appears that they now have an even smaller version, a 'pico'

I acquired them from county countycomm.com

Let me know if I didn't answer your questions and I will remedy.

I really like anything that can't be fabricated, or is difficult fabricate in the woods, that can serve multiple purposes and still be lightweight.

That pico looks pretty damned cool.

I think the pico might actually be too small to be useful. I wish the tines on the micro were a tad longer.

County Comm has lots of unusual but useful stuff that would go nicely in this thread. Don't know how unusual it is...but I have their small shortwave radio with extra antennae. This little beast is awesome, and has an alarm and small LED light too. Worth every penny.

I carry a small lockpick kit in my BOB. I figure if the S really hits the F, it could come in handy to procure propane from those locked outdoor cabinets or perhaps gain entry into an abandoned house to use as a temporary domicile without destroying the door. Most household locks can be raked open or picked within a minute and the Masterlocks that they use to secure those propane tanks are a joke - 20-30 seconds tops. Plus, it beats carrying around a giant prybar.

Titanium roll up volcano stove.

Weighs practically nothing and is perfect for making coffee, ramen, whatever, for a hot meal from just a few twigs.
