Pondering this with a couple of coworkers today, 7 people at work and little else to occupy our childish nature, it turned to what if scenarios. Seeing the entire DFW metroplex shutdown because of what might happen, we discussed essential gear and I brought up the things that you might not consider as important.
This came about because of the Pynch Pulley. I recently became aware of them reading a back country hunting thread somewhere. I had never considered something so small as being potentially useful in a survival/shtf scenario.
With this in mind, and a full understanding this may derail into a cluster.
What are some small items or gear would you consider useful or potentially useful to have in a bug out bag? Something that other's might not necessarily thing of.
I have been listening to the "Borrowed World" series on Audible. This is just one of many "apocalyptic type series I have in my library, most are pretty cookie cutter, color in the lines type.
I want to hear from those that think outside the box, @sirhrmechanic and his thread on his motorcycle trip and his "hatchet" carry, made reconsider this and that is one thing I want to add to my inventory. I just can't decide if I want a "camp" or "tomahawk" defense style.
