I never thought about how useful that would be.
Since I'm in metro Atlanta, surrounded by folks that probably aren't prepared, my plan is to bug-out quickly to the national forests or state parks. If it's a short term problem, I get a nice camping weekend. Is fishing gear considered tools?
TR listed some great tools to keep around the house if you wanted to wait it out. Assuming a long-term stay away from your current home due to H51, economic collapse, or zombie invasion, what would you consider must haves?
Assuming I'd want to build a shelter better than a tent: hammer, nails, manual drill with bits, screws, screwdrivers, axe, handsaw, plumb bob, square, level.
Tar paper?
Rope, what sizes and lengths?
Wire, gauges and amount?
I've been looking at some inexpensive trailers from harbor freight to be a camping/bug-out trailer. My truck feels big, but by the time I add load up on food, water, fuel, and clothing, it seems a lot smaller. With the trailer, I could also carry a few things to make my life easier: like my kayak for fishing, scouting, setting trot lines, etc. Because I camp and hike frequently, I will rotate food stuffs, and the trailer will double as my camp trailer. After a few trips, I will have a better idea of what I need/don't need in a serious SHTF situation.
