Oh yeah I forgot to mention , when the knife is not attached, the bottom of the stick's pvc fittings are protected with a rubber cap that is commonly used for canes or chair legs. The pvc fittings also had to be modified slightly by sanding with a rotary sander, I used A Dremel. The length of the line wrapped around the exterior is about 70 feet not 30 feet. The plastic bags I mentioned were marked, to measure one qt., as to make water purification less of a guesswork thing.
Pack that thing full of gear and then take a 10 mile hike with it. Anyone who is survival minded isn't going to be out in the wild with only a staff. He/she will have a pack or at least a gear belt. No reason to design something that will quickly become a burden.

Great job
You might try to put a "cup" on the end of the blow gun so you don't swallow the dart when you inhale a breath.
The cut from the tubing cutter actually created a stop, to prevent accidental inhalation,
very creative ideas for the walking/survival stick
+Hike with Mike
thank you

Good point, this was an in exercise in stowing gear into a staff.
