+5 Knife of Exiting – CRKT Extrik-8-R
Alright… this one is a personal must have especially with a family, my personally preferred CRKT McGowan Extrik-8-R Seat Belt Cutter. Note the hand-tied reflective orange paracord fob that comes attached, this was not my doing. It is very easy to keep a grip on with the scalloped edges and very roomy finger holes. This …

Cashing in on the $8 Million MP3 player.
Alright folks. So I just learned something neet. That music piracy might be even more lucrative than robbing Ft Knox. Now, first off, this is just between you and me. We cannot share this with others, because if someone found out we’d have a SWAT team at our doors.

Key of Opening and Biting – Swiss Tech Utili-Key

New Solar Technology
This is one that needs no metaphor. Solar power as it stands right now SUCKS. It’s costs without government subsidies simply don’t compare to the cost of the normal fossil fuel generated electricity over the long run. Until now.

Gerber Artifact – What’s a RPG without an Artifact?
Oh the memories of various artifacts listed in many fantasy based role playing books. Most of the best ones had all sorts of neet functions. Remember the Rod of Seven Parts? Anyone?
