Advance preparation is always required before you head out into the rough, whether it's for a personal or professional pursuit. To keep a handy cutting implement nearby with minimal weight penalty, carry the 5ive Star Gear Stainless-steel Wire Saw. Big on application potential but small on size, this compact utility coils up to fit easily into a pocket, backpack or even a small gear pouch.

This multi-stranded tool is built from durable stainless-steel to withstand the punishment of rugged environments. It includes cutting wires positioned between a pair of swivel-point rings to provide means for easy handling. Useful for cutting through tree branches and logs for firewood, this versatile implement can also be fashioned into a bow saw at a moment's notice with little more than a strong, flexible branch.
