VSSL took a standard camping flashlight and realised there was a lot of space to be saved by replacing the traditional bulb with a series of low energy, high output LEDs. The resulting light offered better battery life from far less batteries – opening up a lot of storage space in the flashlight’s tube.

Rather than lopping off half the handle, VSSL decided to create a series of flashlights and pre-load the handles with survival gear that has been specifically developed to fit neatly in place of the batteries.

The Supplies VSSL Flashlight (pictured above) contains: A dual mode (static and SOS) LED ‘flood’ beam lantern light, illuminates a large area (batteries included), an oil-filled compass, a 4 hour pure Canadian beeswax candle, a razor blade, 6 Aquatabs® water purification tablets, a wire saw (high tensile, 60lb working strength with handle straps), an aluminium beadless emergency whistle, waterproof matches, Tinder Quik® fire starters, fishing Gear, a signalling mirror, marine grade rope (250lb breaking strength), reflective trail markers, P38 military GI Type can opener, first aid supplies and a VSSL priorities of survival and instructions.
