Prepper's Checklist of Tools
Survival depends on the tools in your possession

Survival tools for preparedness.
Build a kit of tools for your survival when the world goes dark and
you'll need to do everything by hand. Ultimately, your long term
survival depends on the tools in your possession ~ such as a
hatchet and hammer, shovel and hoe for around the homestead
or a pressure canner for the off-grid kitchen. For your bugout bag,
you'll need a whole other set of survival kit items.

The list below will get you thinking in the various categories.

Consider the tools you own in your disaster survival. Want to add
a new gadget to your preps? We've gathered a prepper's list of
tools to own.

Disaster Survival Checklist of Prepper
Tools to Own:

Prepper Tools To Own #1: Bushcraft survival tools.

Axes: Before buying a survival axe, hatchet or tomahawk,
consider your needs:

Felling axe ~ extremely sharp for cutting down trees
Limbing axe ~ lightweight and shorter than a felling axe
Hunting axe ~ chop bone, and speed up game processing
Splitting axe ~ heavy hitters
Hatchet ~ typically have a hammer head, great for around
the house, not the best for tree felling though conceivably
you could
Tomahawks ~ for breaching operations, excavation, obstacle
removal, extraction, and other utility applications.

Compass.
The Cammenga Lensatic compass is the compass to own!
Eventually preppers want an alternate tool for navigation, and
that's when the U.S. made Cammenga tritium lensatic compass
comes into play. Built for U.S. fighting forces, the Cammenga is
the world's leading brand of military compass.

Bushcraft basic knife, such as the Condor Tool.

Folding /collapsable Saw.

Tomahawk. A tomahawk is a versatile tool used for
breaching operations, excavation, obstacle removal,
extraction, and other utility applications.

Machete or large cleaver.

Military style shovel or a Krovel.

Prepper Tools to own #7: Lock picking tools.

Prybar and lock picking kit (for urban bushcraft)! Lock
picking is a prepper skill as well, so at minimum get yourself
a precision pick and screwdriver set, pictured immediate right.

FUBAR Demolition Bar: Your preps might include a pry bar
tool. The FUBAR demolition bar has a precision ground chisel
and prying end for ripping cutting and prying. It also has a
second nail puller to maximize leverage. This small pry bar
tool for your bug-out bag, will help you open doors and
windows as well as helping you gather firewood and serve as
a weapon. You won't need a camp hatchet!

Here's how to make your own lockpick tools.

Prepper Tools to own #8. Kitchen tools.

Foodsaver
grain mill
meat grinder
heavy-duty apple / potato peeler
food strainer for canning
