When off in the wilds there is always one more thing you could use, but each “thing” means additional weight plus the chances that something will be lost, forgotten or misplaced. But Adventure Medical Kits of Oakland, California has a nifty three-in-one survival tool that is blade, light and whistle. The Core Lite features a short steel blade that is just over two-inches in length, and can be used for “notching and grooving branches, plus a small single LED light. It won’t replace any big flashlight, but the bluish light help offer a little illumination on things.
If that was it the Core Lite would still be a good simple tool, but it also includes a whistle, which according to the company can provide a 100 decibel sound. Folded up it is just 1.4 ounces and small enough for most pockets, making it handy when you need it. And at $25 it is a good item to keep in a pocket for hiking and camping, just don’t try to get it through airport security.
