Crazy Gear Friday

A Way Too Big Knife
A friend of mine sent me this article from OutdoorLife.com. It frightens me that the article says to even throw away your toiletries. Yikes!

The Most Incredible Knife: Wenger wants you to do one thing: throw out your old knives. Actually, it wants you to do several things: throw out your bike tools, your toiletries, your laser pointer and so on, because you can find all of these instruments in a huge Swiss Army knife, which includes every tool the company makes. Wenger is calling the contraption “Giant Knife Version 1.0.” It debuted with all 85 features and can perform hundreds of functions.

Who doesn’t need a cigar cutter next to a bicycle chain rivet setter next to a golf divot repair tool? Wenger is on to something with this everyman’s gadget. It wouldn’t be a knife, though, without a blade, so Wenger put seven in the line-up. And it wouldn’t be Swiss Army unless it came with tweezers and a toothpick. (They’re included, too.)

A Light Stove Made From Pop Cans
Another friend told me about making a camping stove from pop cans. There are a lot of directions. It is best just to link to the article.

I doubt the knife fits well in one's pocket though.

Can it keep raccoons away?
