Super Tiny LED Flashlight
Talk about tiny! Don't you just love LED technology? Super small, super bright, super energy efficient LEDs make this tiny flashlight possible. You can't get much more minimal then this -- just snap the little LED light unit onto the top of any 9-volt battery, and voilà, you have a fully functional source of illumination.
The compact light includes a trio of super-bright LEDs, which should be plenty for helping you find your keys in the dark. Thankfully, there’s a power switch on top, so you can leave it attached to the battery when not in use. But wait a minute - there's more! This light even has a strobe feature for emergencies. Forget the flares just pack a few of these in your glove box and you will be prepared for any emergency.

Choosing the Right Knife
How to Choose the Right Knife or Multi-Use Tool for camping and backpacking.
You should always carry a knife or multi-use tool with you whenever you backpack for emergencies and every day needs. Sooner or later you'll need one—whether it's to slice food, open a can, make emergency repairs or cut some moleskin to protect a blister.
Step #1: Consider Your Options
* Straight knives—Knives with straight blades that don't fold away can be hard to pack and dangerous to carry. They can also damage your gear if stored improperly. If you must carry a straight knife, make sure you carry it in a protective sheath.
* Folding knives—These work like straight knives but they're safer and easier to pack. The blades simply tuck away into the handle for compact, easy storage. Look for smooth movement between the blade and handle, and for blades that lock in place for maximum safety.
* Utility knives—These compact, lightweight Swiss Army-style knives are built to handle a variety of tasks. Different models have different assortments of lightweight tools—from knife blades to can openers to screwdrivers and more.
* Multi-use tools—These hard-core utility-style knives are built to handle tough jobs and complex repairs. In addition to standard blades, most have heavyweight tool accessories like pliers, screwdrivers and small saws.
* Survival Tools - Super small, compact tools like the credit card survival tool or keychain tools are perfect for emergencies when you might have forgotten to pack any other knife or tool. These tools are always with you.
Step #2: Decide How Much Knife You Really Need
For basic trips, a folding knife or a utility knife with simple accessories should be more than enough. But for longer, more difficult journeys, carry a more advanced tool system (with tools like pliers, screwdrivers, a small saw) that can handle more demanding repairs.
When comparing models, consider both weight and size. Stick to the smallest and lightest option that will meet your needs. Also consider how easy each model is to use. Take a few minutes to try each tool feature so you know how easy they are to deal with and how well they work.
