Good Tools with Multiple Uses

      No I know that I have talked about choosing prepping items with multiple uses in previous posts, however I feel so strongly about it that I decided to dedicate an entire post to multi-tools. Also note that by googling survival multi-tools you will be able to find most of these various tools I will go over. Amazon and eBay are where I have purchased a few of mine.
      Most of you are probably familiar with the traditional multi-tools (as below), however I am happy to say that there are plenty of people out there that love multi use items as much as I do, because almost every month you can find a newly designed multi-tool.

      Several of these newly designed tools are on my holiday shopping list. I mean why transport a toolbox around in a SHTF scenario when you can literally have two or three multi-tools? The answer I have to that is "only fools carry more than they need."

      I am a personal fan of the above multi-tool, as it is an improved version of the military trench digging tool that I am already familiar with. This would be a great tool to keep in your bug out bag/vehicle. Besides the axe, saw and pick attachments the shovel attachment can also be used as not just a digging tool but also a cooking surface.

      Crowbar, hammer, tomahawk. Need I say more?

      Now I love this little tool. It is a multi-tool that fits right in your wallet. I found this baby on Amazon, and I fell in love. Mine should be arriving any day now.

      Not all multi-tools are handyman tools or weapons, some like the one above is a wonderful tool to having power and light,as well as receiving information. I really like that it is powered by both solar power and crank power.

       Now the two multi-tools below are the ones that I carry on my person all the time right now. The wallet multi-tool was a gift from my wonderful wife, and the other I clip to my belt loop, and is also a self given gift after my deployment.
