I just saw this ad in my March, 1982 issue of BICYCLING magazine. It's
on page 155.

"Lo-El Surviv-All

If wilderness camping is your desire, the Lo-El Surviv-All may be the
all-purpose tool for you. This one-pound, 15 inch long unit is a shovel,
hatchet, fish scaler, saw, and nail puller. Underneath a screw-off
plastic cap on the handle is a survival kit packed in a waterproof
plastic tube including the following items: safety matches, knife,
flashlight, needle, thread, can opener, safety pins, candle, hook with
lone, adhesive bandages, iodine swab, and a small container of soothing
lotion for insect bites.

The Lo-El Surviv_All retails for $17.95 and is available from Lo-El
Enterprises, 706 East Main, Lake Mills, IA 50450. Replacement parts are
available from the manufacturer."

With this tool Joerg wouldn't have to worry about finding loose nails to
fix broken chains with. LOL


Is it really wilderness if there is nails there?


I think that some of the trails that Joerg rides are old trails that have been used in the past by miners, loggers or even rancher/farmers and thus there are a lot of nails around. LOL

Cheers
