Tool Reviews
This pack is worn much of the time during outdoor activities. It carries water (120 oz), A extendable Baton, an Extra Digital Camera, Spare AA Batteries (6-12), Sunglasses (prescription), Spare Pistol Magazines (2), Gook Aid, Energy Bars, Peanuts, 550 Cord, LED Lights,  Simple First Aid Supplies (Gauze, Tape), Knife, pouch for Radio / GPS. I wrap a Shemagh (scarf) through the carry handle on top of the bag when it is not around my neck keeping the sun off. This bag weighs almost nothing even when it it full of water

There are a many, many US companies that manufacture endmills that are either variable pitch or variable helix, but only a few that manufacture variable helix AND variable pitch endmills. That’s because varying both the helix and the pitch is a patent protected design. Hanita, SGS, Dataflute, and our manufacturer, Carbide Grinding Company (aka GorillaMill), are some of the few that do vary both. Except for GorillaMill, the few use a very good design patented by a Japanese company. Gorilla, however, holds its own US patents. We have found that its improved designs usually produce 5 to 10 percent better performance than the other variable helix/pitch endmils, especially in harder materials like Inconel and titanium. We are proud to offer the GorillaMill to our customers and to be associated with them.

The always useful  550  cord (parachute cord) has many uses and will continue  to have more. It's  been around for   many years (since  WW2) and continues  to be an important and   useful tool. 550 cord is a Kernmantle rope which is a rope constructed with its interior core (the kern) protected with a woven exterior sheath (mantle) This design provides strength, durability, and flexibility.

We use these small plastic tripods to hold and point our digital cameras.The tripods fold up and weigh almost nothing so they can be carried in a camera bag or backpack. These along with a timer setting on the shutter like most digital cameras now offer make this a very effective tool for taking self portraits and getting high quality photos that might not be possible when holding the camera
