A crash course in survival gear from a Delta Force operator
By: George Hand | April 16, 2020
Here’s a seemingly unfair question to ask:
“If you’re only allowed to carry along one single piece of gear with you into a survival situation what would that piece be?â€
NO FAIR!!
I agree it’s not fair, what’s more is it isn’t a realistic question to ask. It would be great to have parameters added, at a minimum whether it is a warm or cold weather survival environment. Cold weather makes me think of a means to burrow, as with a shovel; hot weather makes me favor cutting/chopping as with a knife or hatchet.
Doesn’t that make this sort of combination multi-function implement seem ideal?
It sure seems ideal to me, but it seems to be gaming my fundamental question of what *one* piece of gear do I choose. It is a combination multi-function tool that solves several key survival problems. Sure, multifunctions tool are not quite as good as a stand-alone dedicated tool of singular function — an axe, a shovel, a sheath knife — but they do a pretty decent job nonetheless!
