Indispensable Non-Power Hand Tools For The Homestead
Image source: homesteadnotes.com
If there is one thing I hate, it is not having the proper tool for a job. I compare it to asking a girl to marry you, and then asking your future mother-in-law to accompany the two of you on your honeymoon. It just does not work.
But back to tools — specifically, non-electric ones. Before my crazy days of tool purchasing, it was common for me to discover I did not have the right size socket, or my C clamp was not wide enough for the brake job.
The key to being self-sufficient is just that: being self-sufficient. This means having the proper tools and supplies on hand to allow you and your family to survive and thrive for an indefinite period of time. I advocate that if possible you should have everything from bullets to Band-Aids, beans to bull horns. I understand it takes time to purchase and procure things. Believe me, I’m in that boat myself, but I’m moving forward toward self-sufficiency.
If you are a homesteader, small farmer or prepper, one area you MUST become self-sufficient in is tools. Things break. Axles break, door handles break, engines break. What I am going to attempt to do is compile a list of basic hand tools you should have for your land, farm, home and your life.
