Greetings!
I am putting together an Urban Bug Out Kit, and looking for recommendations for a multitool and/or SAK to include. The bug out kit being a 72-hour emergency backpack, to get me out of the city (san francisco) and out to a friend's house 40 miles north.
Top considerations so far are:
- relaltively lightweight
- ease of use and safety
- durability
- emergency oriented (e.g. seat belt cutter, wood saw, metal saw, can opener, awl)
- potential for barter (known and respected, obvious quality)
If necessary, I can carry a MT and a SAK. My plan right now is a Swisstool Spirit, and Fireman SAK.
I've never owned a multitool, so I am requesting the opinions of the experts
What do you keep in YOUR Bug Out Kit?
Respectfully,
Starbork
