When you open the fork and the spoon, the center of the unit unlocks and separates into two tools: One has a fork, bottle and can opener, and a cork screw. The other half has a knife, spoon and a punch.

Another great feature is that the knife is on the side that has the spoon. So, you can actually use a fork and knife at the same time with two hands! Good idea.

Esbit style stoveEsbit Style Stoves (USED)

We have some used Esbit stle stoves. These are not quite the same as the German Esbit stoves. For one, these are either brass or copper in color. They have a bottom fuel chamber that does not have any holes in them, making them ideal for use with fuel gel. The tops interlock with a sliding motion.So to open them, you first slide the top pieces back, then flip them up.
Be aware, these are used and not very pretty but functional. For those who are willing to put in the effort, they should polish up well.

Does not include fuel. Order heating fuel below.

Fuel GelFuel Gel, Diethylene Glycol, Military

Here is the real Military deal!

The military is now using this Diethylene Glycol fuel gel as the replacement for the old Trioxane Fuel Bars. This gel has a higher heat of combustion per unit mass and its only combustion by-products are carbon dioxide and water. When compared to Trioxane, it weighs less, burns hotter, and doesn't give off toxic gases.
Simply tear open the pouch, squeeze the contents onto the ground or onto your Esbit or Tri-Wing stove, shield from the wind and light with a match.
Place your canteen cup over the flame and in less than 8 minutes you will get boiling water!

Instructions from past warsMini P-38 can openerSuper Turbo Mini Can Opener

The military has been using these openers for years, and they work!

After going through a hurricane (Iniki in 1992), we discovered how important a can opener really is! The day after the disaster, a few stores opened up (among the rubble) to supply residents with necessities including canned goods. The problem was that you couldn't find a can opener if your life depended on it (and in some cases, it did).

Sold in two packs! Put one in your back pack, and the other in your automobile glove compartment.

LifePack emergency water filter systemThe LifePack Emergency water filter system contentsLifePack Emergency Water Filter


The LifePack Emergency Water Filter ensures that you will have clean water in any situation through safe and simple filtration.

The LifePack water filter provides up to 3 liters per day of clean drink from nearly any surface water source. Over a 3 day period it will produce over 9 liters (20 lbs) of clean drink. Use any water source, even muddy or brackish water to generate clear drink. Purity levels are comparable to reverse osmosis systems, and the filter meets EPA standards for the removal of biological pathogens (viruses, bacteria, cysts). This technology is being used by our military's elite fighting forces, and NASA to provide for their hydration needs.

Makes up to three liters of clean sports drink a day for three days.
LifePack solves the problem of contaminated water by allowing you to easily filter virtually any available water safely and efficiently where ever you are.
LifePack uses forward osmosis to filter out dangerous organisms such as bacteria, viruses and parasites.

The LifePack is easy to use. Simply put dirty water into the red port, and one sports syrup charge into the green port. That's it. The water will be filtered by the advanced forward osmosis membrane as it is drawn into the LifePack’s inner chamber. When the process is complete, simply pour the clean drink out and restart the system. No purifying chemicals are required, nor is any power input needed other than the sports drink syrup charges that drive the filtration process by osmosis.

Life pack filter use

Step 1:    Open the Red port and fill with dirty water, then close port.
Step 2:    Remove green cap, and poor one Sports Drink Syrup bottle (6 bottles included) into green port and then close.
Step 3:    Wait 6-12 hours or until green side fills.
Step 4:    When ready to drink, open red port and discard left over dirty water and close port. Then open green port and pour clan water into clean drinking container. Close green port.
Step 5:    Enjoy clean water, and repeat 1-4.

LifePack Emergency Water Filter. Price: $29.95
