Most survival gear feels like it’s designed for a heavy rucksack, but this CHELONIAN multi-tool manages to pack an entire emergency kit into a single 5.4-ounce frame. I was surprised to find that the titanium-plated stainless steel blade holds up remarkably well against rust, making it a reliable companion for damp camping trips.

At just over five ounces, it is an incredibly versatile tool for camping or hiking where every ounce of pack weight matters.
