Techschmeck’s 2010 Reviews on Compact BOB Items

Many who have packed a bug-out-bag or even a bag for camping knows how truly mind boggling it can be.  Let’s face it, there is a lot of items and not a lot of space to pack everything.  The search for well built, compact  items can be as disheartening as searching for a needle in a haystack.  Thanks to the folks over at www.techschmeck.com, they have compiled a list of items and product reviews on items that are both compact and reliable for use in the more rugged environments.  The writer of TechSchmeck endorses these products because she owns them and has used them.  These would make great additions to a bug-out-bag or use in everyday life.  Additionally, educational toys are also reviewed on this site.  And, in a SHTF situation, many want the children to be preoccupied with mind stimulating gadgets.  The reviews of these products as well as many more are at the TechSchmeck website.  Here are a few:

the Utili-key 6 in 1 Tool

no bigger than an average key.  way more useful.  i used it today to crack open a friend’s laptop.  (the screwdriver shaft is not small enough to work on recessed screws, tho.)

the Gerber Artifact Pocket Keychain Tool

the flip out exacto knife makes this thing more useful than you expect.  perfect for cutting into your packages of loot when they arrive from ThinkGeek.  the bottle opener is a total bonus.  also has a pry tool, and a couple of screwdrivers.  bigger than the utili-key, but totally worth it.

Inka Pen Travel Pen

it’s always with me – perfect for drive through banking, and all of my other writing needs.  pressurized ink cartridge (so i can write in space), waterproof ink (for underwater journaling), and a stylus too.  pen is less than $15, and ink refills are like, 4 bucks.  i love my inka pen.

Keychain Solar Flashlight

super bright and always ready to shine.  this was my first GeekPoint freebie.  it makes people jealous (and blind if you shine it directly in their eyes).

MagnoGrip

my brother is a carpenter.  he spends a lot of time on ladders and such and this magnetized wristband is a great way for him to save time…this puppy is strong enough to hold a hammer (but my brother still prefers his tool belt).  i got him this for Christmas.  it made him happy.

Items that are more compact, can make packs lighter as well as make room for other needed items.  TechSchmeck has done a great job finding these items.
