    Daisy sling shot/1000 rounds of ammo
    250 pc med kit
    2lbs jerky
    24 granola bars
    salt
    metal signalling mirror
    6 4" solid rings (make great block and tackle)
    bobber, spinners, hooks, sinkers etc in separate small kit.

    a folding handsaw. two dollars at the Dollar store. one of the best buys Ive made. had the thing for four years now. and have used it alot on hiking and camping trips.

    waterproof pill bottles to store things like matches, tinder, spices or what have you. just ask at the Pharm if they can give you a few.

    Roll of twine, hand as all get out.

    Meat skewers can be used as spear fishing heads, tent stakes, in hunting traps and a ton of other things.

    I've got a junk email addy, if that's all they want and no phone number or physical address I may look into it.

Also I've been checking out freebie web sites. You can get anything from food and coffee to tools and flash light. All they ask for is your name, address and email and they send them to you.
    I'm a firm believer that nothing is free, everything has a price or a catch.
