Abstract: A battery system which is adapted to use film power packs as the source of electrical energy including a case adapted, for receiving and retainingly accommodating at least one film power pack and contact means having a portion contactable with the film power pack terminals when the film power pack is disposed in the case. In one aspect, the system includes means for receiving light emitting means and means for establishing electrical continuity between the film power terminals via the contact means and the light emitting means for causing the light emitting means to emit light.

Abstract: A survival stick adapted for storing items having an upper section, a lower section and at least one intermediate section, the upper section, the lower section and the intermediate sections being removably connectable to form the walking stick. A compartment is formed in the intermediate section for storing items and compartments can also be formed in the upper and lower sections for storing items. One of the intermediate sections is removably connectable to a mid-point of the upper section generally between the upper and the lower ends of the upper section to form a crutch support.
