  1. Round my neck lives a extraordinary multitool the like of which is not often found. It’s an old style mil fold flat can opener.

    A simple thing which allows me to (surprisingly enough) open bottles and cans, gut animals, cut rope and cloth, sharpen sticks, undo screws, acts as a water drop magnifier, a trigger for snares, a hook to lift latches, a magnet by design, and a striker for flint.
    Cost, 50p (75 cents).
    Neat eh?

      • Oh yeah,there’s a lot of good multitools,along with many that are junk.
        The reason I use the OHT is because it can be used with just one hand-which is a huge plus in case you are injured and only have the use of one hand/arm.
        My second choice is made by Kobalt-the Lowes house brand. I got it as a gift from one of our daughters
        It’s a bit heavy if you are worried about weight,no serious backpacker would ever carry it.
        You can find it on sale for 15 bucks or so.
        I’ve been using the Kobalt brand multitool for years with next to no problems.
        I bent the plier trying to get a rusted lag bolt out of an old phone pole that the gate to my friends property where we fish,camp and shoot at was hung on-I did get the lag bolt out-took the bent plier multitool back to Lowes-and they replaced it at no cost to me. The lifetime guarantee is one of the reasons I like the Kobalt multitool,the others are the quality,the fact that all the tools work as the are supposed to-and it has tools I actually use day to day. It comes with a folding lock blade knife,and a belt sheath that both are carried in.
        This is the multitool I’m talking about…
