so i posted this on /b/ and they said to go to a diff. board so i thought this would the best one
I came up with a million dollar idea that will blow you guys away. i give you... THE SURVIVAL FIDGET SPINNER
perfect for campers and boyscouts who get bored easily
i would really appreciate your guys's feedback and i might even give some of you royalties if you give feedback
thanks for you time guys
OP here, i forgot to mention that this is a rough draft. i saw this in my dream when i was napping and immediately came to ms paint

I would ironically actually buy one of these. I think Bepis likes fidget spinners, so if he shows up and says good things, I think you've got a winner. Prepare for the anti-hipsters tho. They'll be here in no time to crap all over your idea.
>mirror... can be used to start fires using the sun

How I am supposed to baton with it?
Where is the paracord?
And the fishing and fire kit?
Also, put a socket that can be used in a bow drill.

>put a socket that can be used in a bow drill.
THIS. Also, maybe turn the useless key-chain hole into a bottle opener.
>>1039236
ah yes, i was blanking on what the third hole should be so i just bs'ed it
>>1039242
Make it out of ferrocerium and magnesium
Alright, anons. I present to you... THE OFFICIAL /OUT/ FIDGET SPINNER. Lazily shopped together by yours truly.
>Left: Signal mirror
>Right: Circular knife
>Top: Bottle opener
>Center: Compass. Reverse side has socket for bow-drill
>>1039258
Crap, my dyslexia. Left and right are switched.
>>1039258
perfect! pretty much what i had in mind
i see quite the sum of money in your future my friend
>>1039258
you gotta put fish hooks on the ends and string wrapped in one of the ball bearing areas. you also need a hex bolt wrench, i think you can incorporate that in the bottle opener
>>1039258
My favorite part of it is that the bottle opener and knife will throw off the compass and get anyone who relies on it hopelessly lost.
>>1039284
I was thinking about that while I was shopping it together. I consider it natural selection. Anybody who relies on a fidget spinner innawoods probably deserves to get lost.

OP: It needs to be made of carbon fiber to save weight.
>>1039528
yes yes yes! this is all coming together nicely
We need to start doing the math to see how much this would cost to actually manufacture these things. I know that fidget spinners are cheap as heck, but all that other stuff might beef up the price a fair bit.
>>1039258
Why a bottle opener? Why not something useful.
>>1039192
has to be a concave mirror ya dingus
you'd be hard pressed to start a fire with any mirror that small, even a concave one
>>1039742
We're building a tactical survival fidget spinner, anon. Trying to make it useful would be like trying to teach a Russian how to tastefully appreciate fine wine without chugging the whole bottle..
>>1039175
Put grooves around the edges to hold line and make it so you can stick a handle into the keychain hole and other side of the compass
>>1039764
Maybe a magnifying glass instead?
>>1039175
I'm not super familiar with the physics of fidget spinners, but it seems to me that balancing them is necessary, and could be a real bitch.
Is this fidget spinner made to use it instead of my favorite habit to roll boogers?
>>1040187
Plus they are super survival, you can feed with them as long as you need
>>1040060
That is a horrible idea.
