Sorry Glenn I misspoke when I said box. I should have said case. The three I carry in my leather bottomed backpack are a Boy Scout brass unit I bought in 1961 or so, a machined brass model with knurlized striker and compass in the cap and a US military issue like we used to give the Scouts when they earned their Fireman Chit. The forth one is a US Made
Everdry from my collection. I like the slide back top for alignment that prevents cross threading. The knives are a Swiss army knife in case McGuyver isn’t camping with me that weekend. A WWII United States Navy issue “Boy Scout” style with cap lifter
and can opener and a USA made Remington R-45 folding Hunter with saw.
For sharpening a Boy Scout stone and also pair of 6 inch long nose Petersen Vise grips in a leather case. The compact utensil kit is Boy Scout by George Schrade from the late 40s/early 50s. I travel with this bag most of the time and there are more goodies to keep me warm, clean, and dry. It’s never my intention to get in a tight spot but it can happen so I live the motto. Be Prepared
