鈥淚鈥檝e worked with Gerber on survival kits for years, and the item that always comes out on top for me is this compact compass.聽Navigation is key in a survival situation, and you can鈥檛 rely on technology 100 percent of the time. In low temperatures or wet and windy conditions, 聽has always had my back and helped me return safely to base. But you need some basic skills to use it effectively.鈥

鈥淚 worked with Revo to design , and they聽come with me on every adventure.聽I鈥檝e branded them as 鈥榓lmost unbreakable.鈥 They would have been 鈥榯otally unbreakable,鈥 but I had one pair get crushed to bits when a two-ton boulder landed on top of them, so I鈥檓 going with 鈥榓lmost unbreakable.鈥欌

鈥淭he less kit to carry, the better. That鈥檚 why we spent months designing this multifunctional bottle.聽At night聽it聽can be a great light source, and during the day,聽the solar charger provides some extra juice for my phone in an emergency.鈥

鈥淚n the wild, knowing what time you set off and how long you鈥檝e been going is vital. 聽can also be used as a navigation tool: using聽the hour hand and the sun to find north can help get you out of a sticky situation if you鈥檙e lost.鈥

鈥溌爉old to the shape of your foot and have some of the best traction I鈥檝e ever worn. They鈥檙e great to train in, too, and are quick drying, which reduces the need to change shoes between different terrain.鈥

鈥 is the聽same rope聽commandos use to rappel out聽of helicopters,聽but we use this stuff for everything when filming. It鈥檚聽tough, light, and looks the part, and聽I also use it to make rope swings for our boys.鈥
