You make sure you have your wallet or purse and keys when you leave the house every morning but what else do you carry. Do you have a knife, screwdriver, scissors, and emergency rope and do you have the means to obtain a food source or even protect yourself with what you have on you. Everyday carry items if chosen carefully can help you through various situations you may find yourself in to include protecting yourself and even surviving if you become lost or stranded.
You do not want to carry an extra briefcase or purse so any items you carry must fit in your pockets, clip on your belt or even can be worn around your neck. Neck chains can be a choke hazard so ensure the chain is designed to break away when worn around the neck. Wearing a quality belt is important not only to attach items to but also the belt can be used for other things as well such as an emergency tourniquet.
One of the more important tools you can carry is a multi-purpose knife. Pliers, wire cutters, and scissors can be helpful in many situations, from car repairs to shelter building. Some models have a small saw bladed that can be used to saw through heavy cordage, or even plastic hand restraints if you find yourself in that situation.
Rope bracelets are very common today and many people call them survival bracelets because in a survival situation you can use the cordage to build shelters, fish and make repairs to gear or clothing. One paracord bracelet can provide between 6 and 10 feet and if you feel you would need more you can purchase a bigger bracelet or wear two. Paracord is unique in that it can be broken down into multiple strands for sewing or fishing line while still maintaining a sturdy core.
Flint rods or as many call them Ferro rods along with magnesium sticks can be used to start a fire virtually anywhere. They can be worn around your neck, attached to a key chain or worn with a gear clasp attached to a belt loop or purse strap.
You realize that fishing is one of the easiest and most reliable ways to obtain food, and yet you cannot carry a pole and tackle in your pockets. Paper clips of varying sizes along with string from your survival bracelet can be used for emergency fishing. Use your file and pliers to sharpen and shape hooks into different sizes.
Consider a cell phone as an emergency survival tool. Ones that have GPS tracking enabled can be used to find you if you become lost, stranded, or otherwise need rescuing. You can also use many cell phones as a GPS device to find your way home if you become lost in the wilderness.
Anyone can find themselves in a situation where they need personal protection, and typically all the protection you would have is what is you are carrying. There are various shapes and sizes of pepper spray canisters, and some can be carried on a key chain or clipped to a purse strap or belt. Stun guns can be disguised as cell phones or other common objects so they can be carried on a belt or attached to a purse with drawing unneeded attention or questions.
