Lot of ignorant comments here. This grappling hook is for functions like tossing a line over a high tree branch when outdoors to keep a food bag away from bears. It's not marketed as something for you to use like a Navy SEAL (ie, rappelling down a cliff). It's not exactly EDC, but it's still freaking cool. I have several CountyComm products and they're all high quality.

Vigilant? So something a rock would be better suited for? For a bear bag this would be far more likely to get stuck than a rock. And is infinitely more expensive than a free rock. And weighs waaay less than a rock when weight is what you want when setting a line for a bear bag.

jdpman81You can go ahead and use a rock. No one is stopping you.

VigilantOr you can just stop recommending needless stuff just so your edc identity can be validated. They’re useless products marketed to the outdoors version of Mall ninjas. Which is you apparently

bigdaddykimThis isn't a matter of subjectivity. Inform your ignorance with the product description from the manufacturer: "The pocket grappling hook was originally built by EOD Robotics, Inc. at the request of a desert warfare operator. He explained his need for a light weight, reusable grappling hook that could be used to snag trip wires or command detonation wires on IEDs in a combat environment. Soon other members of the military saw how useful they were and ordered another production run." So as you can see it's not a needless product. Just because it might be needless to you doesn't mean that it is needless to everyone else.

Vigilant"...Soon other members of the military saw how useful they were and ordered another production run." ... aside from this being a specialized product originally developed for specialist situations.. it really is useless for the general public...
  • "Oh did your hat get blown away by some wind, what it's on that 'ledge' over there?? .. lemme get out my grappling hook...
  • "What? you're saying those tiny branches are 'in your way'?, here, lemme get this grappling hook out...
  • "Wait a minute, you're now telling me you dropped your umbrella in the mall fountain on the level below us??, I got just the thing..."
Ps, ex-mil here and in reality, the military does provide its troops with everything necessary...
  • lol.... unless youre engaged in desert/jungle warfare and are surrounded by everything lethal and just have nothing to get yourself out of that situation other than that trusty grappling hook specifically designed for that moment.
