…or, looking for tips on stuff that are useful to have that most people don’t think about.
I can’t be the first person to say this, but a poop-knife.
No i still don’t believe this is a real thing. I’ve personally never needed one and I’ve had some dire situations in the bathroom - all sorts of dire situation one can have in the bathroom.
It’s a real thing for some of us. Wish it wasn’t, but not all of us have it so easy.
You not needing one yourself doesn’t equal the average person’s experience. Probably less than 10% of Americans eat enough fiber daily.
Fire extinguisher.
Get a small one and put it in your boot or the back of your ute (seppo: truck).
If you’re ever first to a car accident, or have one yourself, you’ll be very glad you have it.
these used to be mandatory in my country, and we’d put them under the front passenger seat.
I have a roll of dental floss in my hike bag. It’s small, super strong, and there’s one pile of it in a roll. Could be used for replacement shoelace, laundry line, tying wood together for a shelter, etc.
Stick a sewing needle in it. Find one that fits inside with the spool of floss. I’ve carried one in my bag for decades at this point.
highly recommend! i sew all my patches and pockets onto my outfits and shit with waxed dental floss. never had anything break ever even after years

I like yr jurse, my friend.
Not unusual, but surprising how many times it has come handy in group gatherings.
I always have a lighter on me, so I never need to find a bottle opener.
that’s completely new to me. how can you open a bottle with a lighter?
Jam the bottom of the lighter flat against the bottom of the bottle cap. With your other hand grab the neck of the bottle as high as you can. Your hand should be pushing the lighter up against the cap hard enough that you don’t need to hold the lighter with your other hand. Squeeze the neck of the bottle to flex those finger muscles, and push down on the lighter like you would any other bottle opener. Enjoy your beverage!
i will try that next time i need to crack open a bottle (and likely make a huge mess)
