most useless kit ever seen on the market

[Loenja]

hey guys just a funny idea i had
just a place to post pics and discuss the most useless pieces of kit anyone has ever seen.

cant think of any atm but seem to remember a whole lot of things that i could definately do without when out and about.

this could be quite interesting

them silly five toe plastic shoes !!!!!! what is the point !! I ask ???

 

[Toddy]

You mean those really expensive, incredibly comfortable, sure as a mountain goat grip, ergonomically great for your feet and your balance, breathable ones ?

Folks who own them love them

I knew you'd be defending them! I have to agree. Massive clumpy over-engineered boots would be my contribution!

Love the Fivefingers.

Can't stand the HandPresso, though

Cushions. What is it with cushions? Pointless, but every woman has insisted on buying me cushions. What do we do when we sit on a sofa..... move the cushion out of the way. What is the point!!!?

These super cheap survival knives with a plastic hollow handle held on by a nut, had one when I was about 13 and broke after a few hours use. Still don't understand why people stock these in survival/surplus shops, I would be embarrassed to sell them.

now that would be handy to place one spud in my stove...I bet its pricey though

 

[Harnser]

hope you didn't buy it, don't think it would even be any good as a fishing weight, but you could use it as a lure.
I reckon most led torches are pretty crap, the area they illuminate is too narrow,you have to be ontop of what your looking at to see it and if you look into the beam you burn the back of your brain.

 

[Loenja]

that axe looks completely useless and very fragile
the spud thing is just about understandable although

 

[nuggets]

one mans rubbish is another mans treasure !!!

 

[JonathanD]

Wow, they look the perfect size for cooking those small Fray Bentos pies over the campfire. I'd buy one
