[SkyPilot]

Thanks. I'll have to check out the Pocket Chainsaw. Yes, those rope saws break and are pretty useless. I had one in my personal survival kit when I was an Air Force pilot. I used it on a trial basis twice, and both times they snapped.

Here are a few good items you can purchase on-line that I have found to be good products:

A Blast Match firestarter - sparks five times hotter than a lighter or regular match.

A cutlass Ka Bar machete - cuts through things with great efficiency and stays sharp, amazing quality.

5 gallon collapsible water containers.

Water purification tablets.

A good head lamp.
