One SF Soliders' Survival Kit

Step 5: Tools

I carry a small wire saw that has proven itself more then once for everything from making a shelter to cutting fire wood. The multi-tool has "locking" jaws like a pair of Vice-Grips, a lock blade knife that is on the outside of the frame so you don't have to open the tool to use it, wire cutters, a file, a saw blade that will cut metal, a bottle/can opener, and both philips and flat blade screw drivers. The little knife started life as a replacement blade for a utility knife. I will post an instructable on how I made it in the near future.

How did u make that knife?

This is a very detailed kit. I can't believe that it fits in a pouch on your tac vest

Thank You! It will al fit in a 4"x6" plastic case if you like, but the "case" takes up every bit of space in the pouch. I vacuum seal it in a 1qt Food Saver bag about 7" long and still have space in the pouch and the bag for any "extra" goodies I might come across that will make life eaiser.

What is the name of the multi-tool with "vice-grip" jaws and where can you get it?

[tomsweet65]

It is made by Kershaw, I am not sure of the name of the model. I got it at Home Depot (or Lowes) a few years ago. At the time the cost was under $25.
