All the Tools You Need Are in the Jackfish

all the tools you need are in jackfish untitled
For centuries, the Swiss Army Knife has been the pocket tool of choice, providing uses around the globe with every tool they could possibly need while on the go — a selection of blades, a corkscrew, a screwdriver, a tweezer, a toothpick, scissors, a file and more. Swiss Army Knife look out, there’s a new kid in town, the Jackfish.

After a successful Kickstarter campaign that raised $133,327, the Jackfish is now available at jackfishsurvival.com. The credit-card-sized tool is only 8.5 mm thick, plus it can carry four credit cards. Plus, it comes with tools that you can’t find in a Swiss Army Knife: a whistle if you need help, iodine to purify water, a gadget that provides fire in case you need warmth, a compass so you can find your way, and a USB drive so you can carry scans of your passports and other documents you may need.

best fighting movies fightclub

It may sound a bit barbaric, but it's undeniable that human beings love to watch one another fight. The magic of the movies allows us to enjoy that pleasure safe in the knowledge that, at least most of the time, no one actually got hurt. On the big screen, fighting takes a wide variety of different forms. Sometimes it's boxing, sometimes its kung fu, and sometimes it's much more street-level, down-and-dirty battling. All of these styles of fighting can be done well, and many of them have made it into some great action movies over the years.
For this list, though, we've narrowed down the focus specifically so that the films involve some form of combat sport. We've also gathered some of the best sports movies of all time that you should check out if you're looking for something a little broader.

Ben Affleck’s ‘Air’ is the Michael Jordan story you haven’t seen
Nike and Michael Jordan's partnership are the focus of 'Air'
nike air jordan 1

Michael Jordan is one of the most decorated players in NBA history. Winning six NBA championships with the Chicago Bulls and five NBA MVP Awards, Air Jordan is synonymous with hoops greatness. Over 25 years since his last title win with the Bulls, Jordan is still an icon and one of the most famous athletes on the planet. Why? It's got to be more than just his on-court accomplishments that contribute to his enduring legacy for millions of fans, many of who weren't even born yet when Jordan was last seen lacing up his sneakers.

Ben Affleck is determined to get to the bottom of Michael Jordan's continued relevance in the public eye. Unlike other Michael Jordan films that have been released as of late, Air won't include Jordan as a character in the story, but rather all of the people who helped shape his decision to join Nike as their signature shoe endorser in the 1980s. This is a brilliant idea, as Air Jordan shoes are still some of the most popular all around the world. The brand sells more than $5 billion worth of shoes every year, a deal which is mutually beneficial to both the shoe corporation and Jordan over two decades after his retirement from the game.
