And again, let me emphasize, that I appreciate the work and enthusiasm that guys like you put into your products. My skepticism comes from my personal experiences of having to be ruthless with minimizing weight & volume carried.

...as well as a personal philosophy of KISS:

Even if weight and cube are NOT limitations, there is another issue: If you have 100 pieces of gear that each can perform a single task, then you have to find one item amongst a hundred on a shelf (in an emergency, mind you)....

But if each item can do 10 things, it's easier to find the one you need because your shelf isn't so cluttered. The majority of the time, a piece of gear that will do many jobs well is better than a piece of gear that will excell, but only at a single job....

Just my 2 cents.....
