11. Just this week I purchased a simple leather toggle necklace, nothing special about

it whatsoever, and it was also branded as "survival gear" and made by a guy who calls his company Survival Gear U.S.A., and on the receipt he wrote a handwritten note thanking me, and in big letters he wrote "Please Stay Safe!"

From what I could tell, all he makes are men's braided leather necklaces.

I don't understand why a braided leather toggle necklace is survival gear that somehow enhances my safety in a dangerous world?

Very strange.
