I wish I had thought of this first, but Grant Cunningham had this on his blog a while back:
Grant’s Patented Plan To Becoming More Self-Reliant In Three Easy Steps ™:
1. Buy a pocket knife.
2. Buy a small high-intensity flashlight.
3. Carry them with you every day.
https://www.grantcunningham.com/2019/06/how-to-get-prepared-in-three-easy-steps/
And then he discusses the concept further: https://www.grantcunningham.com/2019/07/following-up-on-the-three-easy-steps-readiness-as-a-habit/
When thinking about preparedness, we tend to focus on the sexy stuff. Socking away a year's supply of MREs, bug-out bags, and particularly guns and ammo aplenty to ward off hordes of Zombies or the entire cadre of the Hell's Angels and Banditos combined.
But when you really get down to it, a pocket knife and a flashlight will probably solve 90% of the difficulties you run into on a daily basis. (No, I don't have a citation for that statistic. ) I know seldom a day goes by when I don't use one or the other. Often both.
Grant Cunningham makes this gun related.
