Back home in Saskatchewan, Northern Canada, VSSL founder Todd Weimer was building makeshift survival kits as a kid, filling PVC pipes with first aid essentials, fishing kits and matches. These days, the concept hasn’t changed too much but the mission remains the same: build canisters packed with essential camp and survival supplies that are tailor-made for adventure in the great outdoors. With a four-mode LED torch fixed to one end and a precision compass to the other, these sleek tools just bagged a guaranteed spot in our weekend rucksack.
