About this video

Mike Ritland and Eddie Penny, owner and CEO of Contingent Group, discuss two travel safety products. Penny demonstrates the CG 9-1-1 kit, which he describes as a compact travel safety kit containing items like a smoke hood, headlamp, seatbelt cutter, glass punch, personal alarm, tourniquet, and door wedge alarm. They also showcase a tactical pen made of aircraft aluminum that Ritland says can function as both a writing instrument and self-defense tool.

Key takeaways

  • Penny’s company sells a tactical pen for $89 that is made of aircraft aluminum and designed to serve as both a writing instrument and a defensive tool
  • The CG 9-1-1 kit costs $140 and contains compact safety items including a smoke hood (which Penny claims could have saved lives on 9/11), headlamp, seatbelt cutter, glass punch, personal alarm, tourniquet, and door wedge alarm
  • Penny recommends travelers keep these items in their luggage or backpack, noting that all items can pass through security when traveling internationally
