The third segment twists out into a lamp that can also be charged by the radio in layer one. A packet of water or food can be kept in the third segment, which also doubles as a makeshift bottle for storage. The fifth segment is a case for a minimal substantial first aid kit. A safety whistle is tucked in the pipe’s top-most lid.
