NOTES
Variety is the spice of life. So
in between our fishing and
hunting, we like to mix it up
with new flavors. While the Kale
and White Bean Stew didn’t
sound immediately appealing
to our inner carnivore, we were
pleasantly surprised to find that
it’s rather delicious. Not only
that, but one pouch contains
360 calories, 8 grams of fat, 16
grams of protein, and 60 grams
of carbohydrates — not bad for
a bag of dehydrated beans and
veggies. And like all lightweight
and compact Good To-Go
offerings, this stew is easy to
make at home or in the field:
rip open the bag, remove the
oxygen absorber, add 1.5 cups
of boiling water, stir, reseal
the bag, then wait 15 minutes.
Plus, it has a two-year shelf life.

points (to attach to your belt

dimensions aren’t huge (3.7 by
4.7 inches), the RunOff does
offer enough space to protect
your cash, cards, and keys.10 MAKE & MODELTacticlip

NOTES
We’ve gotten a kick out of
the many ways people create
multitools. The Tacticlip is
one such amusing invention.
Based on the snap barrette,
this little gadget doesn’t just
hold your hair up, it can also
cut, saw, screw, and measure
— among other functions.
How? Its frame has integrated
tools. For example, its raptor
claw protrudes discreetly
from one end and excels at
opening boxes. It also has a
serrated edge for sawing soft
objects, a mini screwdriver, a
wire stripper, and even a wick
holder. Made of spring steel,
the 2-inch-long Tacticlip is an
innocuous object when worn
that can turn into a handy
multitool when a light-duty task
presents itself.12 MAKE & MODELTerrain 365
