VSSL’s lineup of multi-purpose outdoor utility tools combine a functioning flashlight with the needs of outdoor enthusiasts. VSSL has taken the classic oversized flashlight and converted the space where bulky D-cell batteries lived into usable space for essentials, first aid supplies, shelters, and booze. Each VSSL is made from lightweight, durable machined aluminum, with threaded ends that expose the contents inside.
Our First Aid Kit came stoked with all of the essentials for basic trail and camp needs. We’ve used the kit to bandage up an elbow after a mountain bike crash and two wounded toes caused by sandal clad collisions with tree stumps while camping.
FEATURES
- Dual mode (static and SOS) LED ‘flood’ beam lantern light, illuminates a large area (batteries included)
- Compass (oil filled)

The beam on the LED flashlight is not overpowering, but clean and broad, providing plenty of light for getting from campfire to tent. A simple rubberized button controls the light. I’d love to see an updated switch that allows for locking the power button, as we’ve accidentally turned the light on in our bag a few times.
An oil-filled compass on the bottom end of the unit is a nice touch. Now, get out there and learn how to use a compass!
BOTTOM LINE
You never know when you’ll need a flashlight or a first aid kit. You might as well combine both of these essentials into one elegantly made combination that you can throw in your glove box or camp kit. A great gift idea for any outdoor enthusiast!
