Keychain Bug Out Essentials! Get 'em now, before you need them!
I just heard about a baby that died in a car fire, because nobody could get the safety straps off her car seat, and not one person had a pocket knife!

That got me thinking about what everyone should ALWAYS have with them...preferably on their keychains.

First: A small pocket knife that connects to your keychain. Don't watch someone burn because you don't have a knife! Comes in handy for lots of things... A small multi-function Swiss Army knife or just a simple single blade...you decide.

Second: A high quality whistle, like the Storm safety whistle. If you are lost in the woods, or buried under a collapsed building, or wanting to attract attention, call your kids back to the camp, or whatever, this whistle will be your friend! Yelling takes too much energy and your voice will give out quickly. This whistle takes very little energy and may save your life. It's tiny, and fits on your keychain.

Third: A small, high quality LED flashlight, like the Photon II. Super bright, long lasting and will amaze you at it's brightness. Find your key holes at night, read your maps, find your lost contacts or whatever. This light is also tiny, and hooks to your keychain.

All these items can be found on Amazon or somewhere similar.

For less than $25, you can be MUCH more prepared for emergencies and disasters and simple, daily chores.

Hope that helps....

cheers

Thanks Tinygreen...I can always count on you!

I saw a tool on Amazon that has all the tools in one, including a car window breaker and some other tools too...

Why not carry some simple, tiny, inexpensive tools in your pocket or purse at all times???

Huh, my trees are being mobbed by blackbirds right now...that's never happened before...NEW MADRID DOOM!!!

INOVA Microlight with Black Body and White LED

Unlike other lights, the Microlight projects a highly focused light beam up to 50 feet with up to one-mile signal visibility, and it offers up to 15 hours of burn time per battery set.

Also, the Microlight is built to last. With a rugged polycarbonate body, recessed lamp, internal stainless steel switch and momentary-on, plus constant on/off functionality--the Microlight's go-anywhere practicality is unbeatable.

All good advice, but be careful about carrying a Swiss army knife around, here in the UK at least!

I has a mini Swiss army knife on my key ring for years, until a policeman saw it and suggested that in the wrong circumstances, it could land me in trouble.

Mind you, in the wrong circumstances, knitting needles could land you in trouble, so I suppose you just have to assess risk versus benefit!

Great idea! Imagine being out in the cold after your house was destroyed by an earthquake or flood...no way to start a fire...you would be dead in a hurry.

(not that I condone killing burglars... in most circumstances, maiming should be sufficient).
 Quoting: Cathy C


I just took a Concealed Carry Permit class and the instructor told us to never try to maim a person who has broken into your house. You could just piss them off more, and you open yourself up to civil lawsuits. The instructor, a lifelong police officer and FBI agent, said "shoot to kill" if you have any fear of being killed. "Empty your gun!"

Of course, it's different in the UK...

It's gettin' crazy over here, in the US!

I'll shoot to kill anyone who comes in my house and I am afraid for my life... That sounds awful, I know, but if it's him or me...I'll choose to live.

That's just my own opinion...I don't need to sell it to you or anyone else. We all need to make our own decisions in life, despite what our "leaders" think.

you have to be prepared. i have 4 bags set up. 3 people and 1 dogs. i'll just have to grab and run. it will take longer to get the parents. much longer.
