Last Saturday I lost my Luhr Jensen hook file during a little melee. Apparently it was ripped from its moorings when I grabbed for the pliers.
I like the 4-1/4" (with no handle) tethered with 3/16" surgical tubing to my chest pack.

I went to every merchant in my area to find one and they are non-existent. They used to be an always available staple, larger ones with yellow handles and the plain smaller ones.

Danielson crap is all they had for a hook file.
Wonder why such a good and reliable product has disappeared ?

After a lengthy search I found a source on line and bought a few.

Who also melted his favorite fleece jacket on the stove last weekend. It was a worth it, though....great weekend otherwise.
Steelhead, snakes and spudguns were all at the party.
