Thanks to the folks at Browning for sending me one of their survival pens to check out. What a great idea this is, and would be perfect in a backpack or glove compartment.

Browning Survivor Pen Light

The tool has a ballpoint pen designed to write on most surfaces, and a hardened-tip for breaking glass. It includes a high intensity LED light as well.The pen features an “ultra-tough all-aluminum construction”, with a spring steel clip. You can use the clip to attach the light to your hat brim if needed.
