We carry the Multi tools, knives, machetes, hatchets, saws and axes. Who has some other tool in their kit? Say some kind of rescue tool in their Urban Kit. I am looking for the ultimate Multi purpose extraction/entry tool for urban survival in case of natural desaster or terrorist attack. Any thoughts or Ideas!!!

You really can't beat a good 'ole crowbar for that. The Forged Halligan tools are pretty good too, with that and a flat-head axe you can do a lot. The Titanium Crowbars are awesome, but look around for a deal. They range in price from $40 to $140 and I have no idea if the $140 is any better then the $40 one.

In the Jeeps I carry; a GI folding entrenching too (not an aluminum knock off),
A GI small pick mattock, a Svensaw, and a homemade Jeep tool consisting of a 2.5 or 3 lb blacksmith's hammer head (bigger beaters, beat better) brased to 1/2 of a 3/4" pipe coupling screwed into a 3/4 x 18" pipe handle and a prybar made from a straightened jack handle inserted though and brased to a 3/4" pipe cap screwed into the handle. I won't detail the welding and mechanical supplies.
In the BOB I cary a 12" or 14" crowbar with the face off a 16 oz claw hammer brased to it (for pounding).
Enjoy!

after the tsunami in asia and after big earhtquakes there is high demand for shovels to clear debris. Folding type shovel is good but if you can store it in a pick up or car, wood handle is better for electrical insulation.
Gloves also are important for protection hands, dust mask of some kind (I keep big bandanna), I keep them with a small spade in a car bag. Also I keep old pair of boots with thick socks in the trunk.

I have a Biel Tool. I leave it in my desk at work. It too heavy to carry around with me. I've yet to use it. Kind of a cross between a hatchet and a crowbar. I also have a Ti pry bar that I like and sometimes carry.

I always carry the PocketWrench II . I love this tool because it's useful for prying, poking, and prodding, but has no sharp edges. A toddler could play with it.
Sometimes I carry the Stanley Wonderbar II. Short enough to fit comfortably into my shoulder bag, but stout enough for heavy prying should the need arise.
