Besides guns and ammo, knives, machetes, hatchet, fire starter, etc., what other tools do you consider important to have?
I’m still looking at the SAS Tactical and Primal Gear bows, but have not bought any yet.
Provide pictures and details of what you have if possible.

Self defense and hunting weapons are important. No doubt.
I have a 10/22 rifle, but I think a 22lr revolver, being lighter and easier to carry anywhere, makes a great survival tool.

Food, shelter, water

medical kit.

I agree. But was looking for must-have tools.

Cutting
Combustion
Cover
Container
Cordage

He also has a "10 C's of Survival" that adds:

Candlelight (flashlights)
Cotton Bandana
Compass
Cargo Tape (Gorilla, Duct, etc...)
Canvas Needle (or large Leather Craft Needle)

I love the bk2. It’s on the side of my emergency backpack.

I need a decent sheath for mine.

A good multi-tool is always nice to have.

Speaking of sheath, on my BK2’s sheath there is a leatherman Wave + in the front pouch.

Nice!
Your emergency backpack looks well equipped. The knife on the other side, which one is it?

Good read. Thanks for sharing.

It’s the BK11 “ Becker Necker” with Micarta grips. If your talking about the knife on the upper front left of the pack.

I also have life straws, emergency solar/ crank radio, full first aid, emergency blankets, an asp, and more in my backpack. Here’s the radio.

Knife, hatchet, cord/rope, ground cover ( I can cover my head just fine in almost any environment), fire, water purification, survival food rations for a couple of days to get started. That went with me on every elk hunt. 5 miles from camp in unforgiving terrain and conditions, then an hour to town is no place to find out you should have figured out how to use what you carry.
Just like that first aid kit, the knowledge to use what you have will carry you farther than any "stuff".

One thing I was never without was 2 or 3 large orange garden waste bags! You can use then to make a sleeping bag, peg them down to the ground as an emergency signal to Planes and helicopters, use then for ground stills or tie then round a leafy branch to catch water through the still method.
