Survival tool

A survival tool apparatus comprising:

• an elongated hollow shaft having first and second ends and defining a transverse bow-receiving slot extending through said shaft adjacent the first end thereof and being sized to slidably receive a one-piece bow therethrough, said hollow shaft further defining a tool-receiving cavity for storing the one-piece bow and a plurality of discrete tool members therein, said hollow shaft further having a longitudinal axis and defining an arrow-guiding recess on its outer surface generally parallel to said longitudinal axis;
• a multi-function tool head including plug-like means receivable in the first end of said hollow shaft for securement thereto and having an end wall immediately adjacent said bow-receiving slot, said plug-like means substantially enclosing said first end of said hollow shaft to retain said tool members in the cavity thereof, said tool head further including shovel means having a blade portion with a marginal edge terminating at a shoulder portion of an axe means formed in one piece with the shovel means, said shoulder portion forming a substantially obtuse angle with the axis of said hollow shaft, and having a length substantially coextensive with said shovel means, said axe means having a cutting edge substantially continuous with a portion of the marginal edge of said shovel means, and defining an arrow-guiding recess substantially continuously extending from and aligned with the arrow-guilding recess of said shaft, said tool head further including hammer means formed in one piece with said shovel and said axe means and having a striking face outwardly extending from the marginal edge of said shovel means adjacent said shoulder portion so as to generally oppose said cutting edge of said axe means;
• and
• end cap means engageable with said second end of said shaft so as to substantially enclose said second end of said tubular shaft to retain the plurality of tool members in said hollow shaft.
