Each heel is made up of two wedges. The wedge closest to the left foot can be swiveled out at a right angle and is a steel-edged aluminum alloy hatchet blade. Grasp the toe and chop firewood and branches for a lean-to shelter from an impending storm.
The metal wedge in the right boot heel rotates
out 180 degrees to make a spade, perfect for digging a drainage trench to redirect storm runoff that threatens to drench your sleeping bag.
Lost in the wilderness without food? Rip-away panels on the boots’ toes and sides are made of starch-lined beef jerky – each marinated in a different spice combination. As you then lean back, picking your teeth with a pine needle, you can admire your snazzy Roman sandals.
Find yourself bored with fidgety keyboard-deprived fingers? These scout boots sport not one boot lace each but ten, one for each grommet pair. That way you can practice your knots – tie and flaunt twenty different knots – not bad.

Can you use the axe whilst wearing the boot, in the James Bond style?
If so, you could kick down a tree (or fight off bears and other angry forest folk)! |

Charlie Chaplin would have loved those boots. |

If these have detachable waterproof inners to wear as you
use the external boots, you're onto another winner, [FJ]. + |

Oh, and can I have one of the gizmos to fillet fish, and
another to take the stones out of horses' hooves? Just in
case... |

Why is the knife called a swiss army knife? |
|

Did the swiss army invent them? I wouldn't think that they would have that much use for a corkscrew unless they want a drunken army. |

when napoleon's army was on a tear, he had tons of champagne shipped to the front to help with morale. "i drink champagne to celebrate when I win and to console myself when i lose." germans did the same with wine in WWII. the swiss, well, maybe glug comes in corked bottles too. |

"Well we don't want it after you had
been chewing pieces off of it." + |

It's ideas like this that are the reason for having to have out shoes x-rayed at the airport. |
