This durable item is exceptionally compact with a 5X magnification and accuracy up to 300 yards. Depending on the style of weapon, this rangefinder also provides the necessary arc for the shot, taking out just one more variable that could make all the difference.
LifeStraw
Few products have revolutionized outdoor living as much as water cleaning systems, and the LifeStraw should be found in every pack.

With the LifeStraw, outdoor enthusiasts can ensure that they will have great drinking water with a compact design that will stand up to the rigors of hunting, hiking, camping, and more.
Phillips Shoqbox

Phillips has created their Shoqbox from the ground up in order to be as durable and compact as possible while still producing quality sound. This small Shoqbox is no larger than a water bottle and can connect to almost any device with a USB or Bluetooth connection for superior quality music.
