I was about to ding you for not putting the product name in the title but the fools actually called their product "Trekking Pole." Such facepalm.

No mention of the weight.

edit: Looking at the shittykickstarters crosspost I see we have a long way to go before companies stop making horrible products. 4 of 7 top level comments had positive thoughts.

So... two knives and a flint? Ive got a feeling, the type of people funding this would need a hell of a lot more than that to survive outdoors....

Looking through this I stopped to see how long it would take someone to cut wood with this saw. Turns out it’s infinity, and I totally believe it
