Be it bucket or rope, or axe or shovel, What other tools should we think about having if we have to bug out on foot?
 
I Never thought of Boots, but that actually is a good Idea to include a pair as putting on footwear takes time when seconds might count.

I imagine some kind of gun and ammo could count as one. It is good that ebsyesgue sees Shotguns as "Tools" instead of weapons.

A maul might come in handy.
 
Good boots are part of my everyday kit.

I see a shotgun as an SD tool. I would want a rifle as well, because you can take game at longer ranges, with a smaller hole. Less processing needed.

Three or four fire starting methods.

Bandages, trauma shears, sharpening kit, canteen, one of those water filtering straws and replacement filters, iodine tabs, camp axe or hatchet, poncho, extra socks, needle and thread, cold weather gear, a big pack to carry it all in, and that's just the short list. There are one or two items that I would either include or leave out, depending why I needed to leave, where I was living, and where I expected to spend my time.
 
Paracord. If I'm going to the mountains, then some decent climbing rope. Maybe a good flashlight with backup batteries. Maybe just a nice coat for the winter.
 
Helicopter?

Actually, it would be best to have some good intel and have moved to a remote, self sufficient island getaway months before hand.
Or if you're more ambitious, Antarctica would be very safe, since no-one lives there and any controlling interests would basically never even bother looking for anyone. Maybe it is similar to throwing yourself in jail, but at least you're not getting hunted down by the bad guys.
 
other than the obvious FAK ,boots,clothing etc...some kind of breaching tool,for breaking open doors,crates,car trunks,so ide go for a crowbar..have one ready to go...
 
If I could only bring one thing it would be a large pot. to hold and boil water when in camp.it could be used to store other items when on the move.
 
A really large human that I don't necessarily like and can keep up with me until we're in relative safety. Someone that I could make lots of jerky out of, can fabricate a tent out of their hide and use their bones as something to rattle to attract deer.
You asked...
