I got this knife and have it clipped to the roll bar right near the drivers seat in the Jeep, it had a glass breaker on one end and the the cutting hook for rope or seat belts as the secondary blade. ((Benchmade 915 Triage)
Color to match the Jeep. A good knife to keep in any vehicle

Look like a good one to have with you Peter.

Can't go wrong with a Benchmade folder; looks like a real neat member for your Jeep family. Do you have your Jeep "survival" kit going? You know, axe, shovel, pull strap, etc??

I have the ax, shovel, Hi-Lift jack, tow strap, shackles, flashlight, tire repair kit. I still need a good portable compressor to air the tires back up, but some knives got in the way.
Peter

When you get your winch, I remember seeing where Warn has one with a compressor within the case. I have this one from Extreme Outback along with their repair kit. It is an awsome setup.

That looks interesting. Where is the compressor made, I would like to buy one not made in China
Peter

Don't know but the way they set it up in the case is quite cool. I have used it for airing up my Airstream tires. I really doubt it is made in China from these folks. You might give them a call.

Pap

I just talked to the owner and he said that 1/2 are parts from the US and some parts from Japan and Tiawan but all assembled in California. All of the internal pistons, air box, etc are USA made; brushes and electric parts from Asia but nothing from China. He said if you plan on airing up/down alot you need the Extreme compressor as it is twice as fast as my Jr. You can also get it in the carry box like mine or mount it on the Jeep some place. Hope that helps.

Pap

Thanks Pap
I do want to get a compressor soon, but need to wait a bit'
ARB also makes one, and I would like to look at that one too

Absolutely essential item for 4-wheel escape on everything from solid ice to sand ( not over 6 ft. deep mud holes) is 100% wool, made in the U.S.A., and stamped accordingly U S Army blanket. It has worked 100% of the time for 45+ years-same blanket-even on solid ice, 8 feet at a time. There is one in the trunk of every car in my family. Guaranteed to keep one wheel ( at least) at a time from spinning.
