When you're on a remote trek, minor mishaps have a way of turning into big problems. Like the way a ripped tent canopy becomes an open door for biting hordes of bugs. Or how a split seam on your pack means you can't carry on in the wilderness. That's when the RipSPOOL™ mini field kit will save you a ton of grief – and quite possibly your life. The outside of the compact canister is wrapped with 4 feet of heavy-duty repair tape – ready to fix a ripped tent, seal a punctured water bottle or even support a sprained ankle. The twist-off lid is a spool that holds 60 feet of 30-lb. test braided line strong enough to lash down a tarp or sew a split seam. Better yet, the lid doubles as palm push for the #16 sail needle stowed inside – ideal for driving the point through heavy-duty materials like canvas or leather. Even the FireCord wrist lanyard does double duty as waterproof fire-starting tinder.
