A Simple and Useful Bug Out Bag PrepI’ve written several articles about bug out bags and have made many lists of bug out bag items that most people forget. Which is why I was so surprised when I came across this video about a bug out bag item I’d never considered before.

This tip comes from Canadian Prepper, and he recommends putting these small, lightweight items into your bug out bag. Are you ready? Here it is… (Well, you probably already figured it out from the picture above.) Nails!

Why nails? Many reasons. Depending on the size of the nails, they can be used as tent pegs, as fishing hooks, to make a spear, to construct a shelter, to make animal traps, to set up a trip wire, and so forth. Watch the video below for more ideas.

    Good post. Some people use the large nail spikes as a platform for sitting your pot – skillet over a fire. Drive three or more into ground and rest on top. As an emergency method to stab the earth and/or ice and climb up a steep hill – riverbank. Assists in cooking a potato by inserting through the long way, allowing heat to go to center and cook from inside out as well, speeding up the process. For a stronger hanging hook, use two of them, one below at a 45 degree angle, then another above it so that the 1st supports it. And many many more.

    I have seen this video, probably shortly after it came out.
    I don’t remember all the details but it did make me think of a few shelter oriented items I keep in my bob:
    3 inch screw-in hook to avoid running paracord around a large tree which is surrounded by other obstacles.
    A few 2 inch hose clamps to join a thumb sized branch to a smaller one to make a tent pole where only the small branch will go thru the tarp grommet.
    Six foot long bungee cord with hooks at the ends to spring load a corner of the tarp so it is more resistant to wind gusts.

      Bungee cords are an excellent addition to every bag, inch, bob, edc. They do not take up much room and do not weigh a lot. They can be used for those quick temporary situations and saves you from using and or cutting up your para cord. They can be carried inside your bags or used as compression straps outside the bag until needed.
