OK, it's just what I figured with the bolt cutters. Not too many fences or gates around Alaska though. Here most problems begin with getting stuck and the weather going to hell. There are a lot of people who think a granola bar is being prepared, so we get a few tragic SAR headlines every year. Most of my hunting is fly in, hike in, 4 wheeler or snow machine.

Back to the subject of tools, I have a complete selection of non-power carpentry tools that I can and have used to build everything from buildings to cabinets to furniture. They are in 2 old style open carpenter's wooden tool boxes and my family knows they are to go with us should the SHTF. I built this tool set based on what I learned from an old retired master carpenter when I was a kid. I do have all the modern power tools & toys, but I use the old stuff most.

I've always thought I should plan for no power and limited fuel if things got really bad. After many prolonged power outages here over the years, I've tried to make sure we have what we need at home so we don't have to rely on utilities. It has paid off many times.....
