BC Adventure Survival Training

The first rule of wilderness survival is preparation. That's why BC Adventure wanted to make sure everyone who stepped through their door left at least a little more prepared for the wild. Made from organic beef jerky this laser etched card is good to eat for up to a year in case you find yourself stuck in a precarious situation.

amongst survivalists and outdoorsy folk, there's easily a higher percentage of vegetarians and vegans. good idea for an ad agency. bad idea for a survival company.

If that's the case, I'm sure the same thing could be done with a fruit roll-up.

If I was a vegetarian I'd rather eat meat than die.

a business card that when eaten, you lose the contact information. sounds like a very well thought out strategy.

If you have to eat the card, then you don't give a shit about the contact don't you.

"Bowww Wowww"

Have to copy down the contact information before you eat it. XD

It's a slice of dried meat (beef) with contact information on it, and you can actually eat it.

If you find yourself stuck with no food in a precarious situation, being a vegetarian comes second.

I'd love a card that smelled like tasty meat. As I'm sure every other carnivore in the woods would. Good luck surviving.

When you are a survival you start eating dead bodies, It has no sense the vegetarian...I think so. Good one!

Would make your wallet smell great!

Wow...another one-off from Rethink that nobody in the real world will ever get to see. I'm starting to notice a trend here.
