Doomsday prepping and apocalypse planning can be expensive. Having the best gear in an all-out survival situation doesn’t come cheap. Luckily Timberline has us covered with the MSS (Machete Survival System).
Regularly $89.99, the MSS is on sale now for only $29.99 – that’s a hell of a tool for the money. It has a 17”, full tang blade of high carbon steel. The steel is coated in an electrophoretic coating that protects it from moisture in hostile environments. The blade has a large plain edge section for general machete use, and includes two sections of serrations for more rugged work.
The Timberline MSS is more than just a blade. The real value comes from the other tools featured on this machete. The spine of the blade features a wood saw with offset teeth, which makes tasks like shelter building and firewood processing a breeze. The choil of the MSS is a wire cutter/stripper that is recessed so your fingers don’t accidently get injured, and the base of the over molded elastomer handle, the MSS includes a field marker/glass breaking tip.
The sheath is heavy duty and keeps up with the most demanding survival needs. It features durable ballistic nylon construction, MOLLE compatibility, and leg ties for minimum play when carried.
