Filed Under Algonquin National Park Camping Fishing Gear Reviews Sweden

The Swedish FireKnife (MSRP $30) is the result of a collaboration between Light My Fire and Mora of Sweden. No kidding aside this is a true “You got your peanut butter in my chocolate!” moment. Take a razor-sharp cold-rolled Swedish stainless steel Morakinv Companion F knife combined with a unique locking handle and hidden powerful magnesium Swedish FireSteel and you’ve got yourself one hell of a camping knife!

I will be testing this, and several other outdoor products, next week on a back country camping trip in Algonquin Park. Stay tuned for the full review and continue reading for more photos of the Swedish FireKnife.

Survival Straps – First Impressions

Filed Under Adventures Apparel Gear Reviews

Survival Straps are bracelets made from several feet of military spec paracord featuring a precision machined stainless steel clasp. They’re not only stylish, but they’re also quite useful to have in case of an emergency. Simply unravel the strap to deploy it and you should have several feet of super strong paracord to help you out of a jam. You can even send your story and photos to Survival Straps and if they republish your story on their site they’ll even replace your strap free of charge! They’re available in several different styles, and something like 50,000 different color combinations!

Now I’m honestly not the type of person to wear jewelry of any kind, other than maybe a sick custom-made Fishing Fury chain from Clay Candy Shack (I wish!). I do however make exceptions for things that are dual purpose, like the bottle opener ring, not that I own or wear one . Since the Survival Strap also falls under this dual purpose category I jumped at the chance to review them when I was contacted and given the opportunity.

The greatest part is they sent me a few different models and colours so we’ll be giving away several Survival Straps in up coming contests. Don’t forget to register for our blog and follow us on Twitter to receive updates on new posts!

Looking around my apartment, there are few signs that it’s the home of a fisherman. If you look closely enough you’ll find a few fine fishing inspired details. I can’t think of a better addition to the kitchen of a fisherman then these fish inspired flatware by Yamazaki. Don’t think for a minute that this is a cheap novelty set of cutlery, they come with a $450 price tag for a 60 piece set!

* 5 Piece Placesetting 18/8 stainless steel

* Knife blades made with high carbon cutlery steel to maintain finely honed edges.
* Each piece is inspected to insure only the finest product is shipped to our customers.
