4 Cheap And Lightweight Survival Items You Already Own (But Didn’t Know It)
Image source: scoutingmagazine.org
There are a variety of different items scattered around your house that can be extremely handy in a survival situation. These items are often quite cheap — and can be extremely effective. They also can be packed away and stored easily, essentially adding very little or no weight to your survival kit.
Here are four:
1. Trash Bags
I am not talking about those lovely lavender-scented trash bags that are made for your kitchen trash. Those bags are great for taking out the trash, but not great for survival. I am referencing the heavy duty contractor trash bags. These are the types of bags you find near the tools in a store, not near the mops. These bags vary in size, and I personally tend to stick with the 40 to 45 gallon variants.
These bags are thick and heavy duty. They can still rip and tear, but they are less prone to stretching and tearing when given a bit of weight. They cost a little more, but they aren’t terribly expensive, usually a little less than a dollar each. They are lightweight and pliable enough to fit in nearly any extra space in your pack or pocket.
