    Collared cats face the same risk as "lanyarded" off trail hikers … becoming hung by the neck.

    You can buy breakaway collars like these, the one on the left came from PetCo ($8 and weighs 8 grams) and the one on the right from Target (approx $4 and 9 grams)

    cut down they weigh in at 3 and 4 grams respectively:

    Attached to a strap made from 1.1ozDWR nylon from a Thru-Hiker project it makes a lanyard weiging in at 6 grams

    A key ring adds 4 grams

    Here it is broken away

    and as a bonus, I'm left with these SUL bear bells (LOL)

    Nice find Jim, and those SUL Bear bells, might be put to use as AT Shelter MICE Bells!
