A fixed blade knife that is intended for survival or tactical use is provided with a removable, ejectable, self contained compartment for the storage and carriage of survival and/or tactical gear within the handle of the knife. A self contained, removable compartment is superior to a separate butt cap for the handle as a butt cap requires the use of two functioning hands for removal, is not as fast as an ejectable compartment and can be lost rendering the handle useless for the storage and carriage of gear. The self contained compartment eliminates the necessity for a butt-cap, can be ejected quickly with a single digit that may or not be otherwise useless due to injury or environmental conditions. The compartment also serves to contain the gear there-in separate from the knife handle to prevent loss and allow use of said gear by a second individual while the knife itself may be in use by the primary user.

A pedal-powered boat that uses a flexible shaft to drive a propeller. By using a flexible shaft, the user's seat can be placed lower in the vessel, thereby increasing stability. The device also uses a pair of foot pegs and a ratcheted straight driver, which eliminates standard pedals, with their sweeping circular motion. This straight drive not only increases the efficiency of the leg power, it also converts the rotary action of the pedals to a linear motion that reduces the amount of space required to operate the unit. Thus, the driver unit can be placed under a seat so that it does not excessively intrude into the space of the boat.
