According to Mike Connors, assistant fire chief for the Naperville, Ill. Fire Department, poor car maintenance is the greatest cause of car fires. Most others are caused by mechanical or electrical failure, rather than collisions or rollovers, as most of us would think.

We made two slings (for throwing rocks) out of 550 cord. We found the idea and instructions on the EDC Forum. Both of these were easy to assemble. The tan version uses two cords, the black one was made from just one length of 550 cord. The tan two cord version is larger and longer, but either can be made larger or smaller.

The Camelback H.A.W.G. is a good size pack for hiking and bicycling. The pack is not too large, but it is roomy enough to hold essential gear. In addition it has a pocket for an MP3 player at the top of the bag. This pack holds 100 ounces of water (3 liters) so it is a good choice for hot climates where a lot of water is needed

The Benchmade 8 Hook is a one handed webbing cutter made from one piece of440C Stainless Steel. Its design offers a one handed grip that lets the user securely hold the cutter even under wet or slippery conditions. The Benchmade 8 Hook comes with a black nylon pouch that holds the cutter and offers quick access to the tool. This high quality webbing knife is designed and built to be useful in an emergency. Any one working as emergency rescue personnel would do well to have one of these on their belt or rescue bag. The MOLLE compatible sheath and included MALICE Clip allow the cutter to be placed at almost any location on most vests, bags or chest rigs. This webbing cutter can be used to slice through seat belts or tactical gear. When removing heavy duty gear in an emergency this tool cuts gear and not the person under it.
