Best Multipurpose Tools for Bug Out Bags?

[BlueSkyWanderer]

Looking to streamline my bug out gear—what’s the most dependable multipurpose tool you’ve found? I value sturdy construction and real utility over fancy extras. Open to suggestions beyond the usual brands if anyone’s tested lesser-known options in the field.

The Leatherman Sidekick’s been my go-to for years—none of the fancy stuff, just solid basics that actually hold up when you need them. I used to think brand didn’t matter, but after breaking two no-names out in the shed, that changed my mind. The Sidekick’s pliers and decent blade see most of the use, honestly. Anyone tried those multitools from CountyComm? Heard they're tough but haven't tested one myself.
