I’m From the South…and even I have never seen anything like this! We have a saying where I’m from…”If duct tape can’t fix it, it ain’t broke”! I have seen duct tape working to “redneck engineer” everything from artificial Christmas tree stands to broken car windows, but I have never seen a wallet made out of it. Now, rest assured that this wallet isn’t ACTUALLY made from real duct tape, that would be really sticky. It’s just the outside part…but that’s close enough!!

They come in your choice of bi-fold and tri-fold, and there’s also a duct tape passport holder! LOL I would have to imagine that they’d be super durable, since they’re made out of the very stuff that “citizens of the southern states” use to fix things! They’d be very popular around here. I’ll have to spread the word!

As a southerner, I often use the phrase “crammed like sardines in a can”, but even I have never seen anything like this! How many times have you been stranded in the woods and thought, “wow…I sure wish I had everything I need all mashed up in one tiny place”? Well, now you can!! They crammed 25 survival necessities in this tiny can for only $10!

Each can includes:

–non-aspirin pain reliever
–adhesive bandage
–alcohol pad
–antibiotic ointment
–a book of matches
–compass
–chewing gum
–sugar
–salt
–energy nugget
–duct tape
–fire starter cube
–first aid instructions
–fish hook and line
–note paper
–pencil
–razor blade
–safety pin
–reflective signal surface
–tea bag
–waterproof bag
–whistle
–wire clip

So, as you can see, they’ve put a lot of stuff in a small package! Although I’m not sure where that Tootsie Roll came from…but, hey, I’d eat it! :) I’d love to know how they did it, myself, and it might even be worth $10 to me to find out!!

Want one? Get it at ThinkGeek! (There’s also survival kit in a water bottle, which might be even more useful)
