It’s cute - but it’'s not the right set of tools for me. If I’m base camping, I can bring in a proper kit of tools, which lives in the back of my car anyway. If I’m actually in the backcountry, I don’t think I’m likely to be carrying anything that’s held together with nuts and bolts, so those hex wrenches and multiple screwdrivers are excess baggage. Spend the titanium on making the handle long enough to reach the bottom of my pot!
Then again, I’m seriously working on reducing pack weight . I’m trying to get to where my summer base weight (exclusive of consumables) is below 7 kg From Skin Out*. Gubbins like this has no place in a lightweight pack.
- I’m quoting the weight assuming on-trail travel. For a bushwhack, there is another 1.5-2 kg of necessary gear. And forget about lightweight in the winter. My traction gear (snowshoes, crampons, ice axe, poles) outweigh the pack, sleeping bag, sleeping pad and tent that I carry for summer trips.
