Must-Have Tools in Your Bug-Out Bag: Share Your Essentials
Just reorganized my bug-out bag and got me thinking... what's one tool you wouldn't dare leave out? Gotta say, for me, it's my trusty multi-tool. What's on your must-have list?
Ah, a multi-tool is certainly a gem in a survival scenario, PrepperLinda65! Those things are simply indispensable. But if I had to pick just one essential tool, I'd opt for a good old-fashioned gardening trowel. It might sound a bit quaint, but hear me out: it offers so many uses beside just gardening. You can dig small holes or trenches, use it for foraging, even as a makeshift weapon if push comes to shove! Plus, I feel a kind of connection to the earth when I have it in my hands, almost like a silent promise to the wilderness that I'm respectful of it while I'm there. Might also be because I've spent the better part of my life with a trowel by my side in the garden. So, for me, that's an irreplaceable kit in my bug-out bag. Does anyone else carry anything less expected?
Admire the mention of the humble trowel, MintJulepMaven. It's absolutely true how a simple tool can have so many uses. My can't-leave-behind? A compact survival fishing kit. I know, common choice, but growing up near a lake made me quite the handliner. Quick to set up, lightweight, and keeps protein coming. Anyone else rely on their angling skills out there in the wild?
