When trudging through the jungle or nearing rocky cliffs, its always a good idea to take along a rope ladder in case you have to do some climbing. Or then again, you could make a miniature for an adventurous boy in your life. Perfect for 4 to 4 1/2 inch army men, any boy (and maybe some girls too) would love it!
