Survival Insurance From Bear Forest Knives: The OH SH!T KIT

I can’t begin to count how many times I’ve intended to do a task, sat down, got ready, and realized I had every tool but the one I needed. That’s fine when you’re putting together an Ikea bedroom set, but when it comes to wilderness survival, the right tools could save your life. A survival kit is a necessary piece of equipment if you’re exploring the wilderness, so Bear Forest Knives has created what they believe to be the paddle you need to get out of that stinky creek. This is the OH SH!T KIT.
