Unconventional/Uncommon/Unique Items in Your Kit

[Jimbeaux82]

While not that unusual, here are a couple very useful things that I carry

JB Weld - I can fix nearly anything with it

Large rat trap - best thing made for catching squirrels

Cyalume sticks - need light for more than just a little while?

small tea candles - much easier to make a fire once lit

double yes on the yo-yo's

I remember reading an article somewhere about a guy going away for work to relatively dangerous/third world country. I remember he listed the things he packed in his one backpack. The one thing that stood out to me, and I thought was a good idea was a pack of candy.

His reasoning was that it can be used to give as a sign of good gesture when coming across someone with language barrier.

That's for sure!!

In these parts the best "candy" I could produce would be a brick of .22 ammo or a case of beer!

For the potassium permanganate, is also gets interesting when mixed with glycerin IIRC

means its an automatic fire starter with nothing else needed but tinder. do it in a controlled area (concrete driveway) its a sure fire starter. been used by campers and military for years. before all the new whiz bang ways were invented. IF U TRY THESE: caution. keep them separated in glass bottles. when I carried it, I used 1oz glass bottles and put THEM in a plastic bottle. good kit

on youtube a guy cut two bottle caps with the threaded portion and used a plastic disk as a space then epoxyd them. seems like a good compact method

I have lately been carrying a pencil sharpener. Partly because its usefull and partly because it was all "cheating daddy" when I pulled it out and showed the kids how fast I could make shavings(after they had been slaving away for 10min with a mora).

Just to clarify I use it on pencil sized twigs. I have been looking for one of those pencil sharpeners for those huge novelty pencils though because I think it might be more useful.

Sweet KLR and Tankvest Lost River!


I always have a small bottle of iodine tabs, they saved my ass (and the group I was with) once.
