Top 10 Must-Have Survival Tools – GoBag & Stay Home Ready

GoBag.One™ | GoBag or Stay Home™

Whether you’re packing a GoBag for mobility or reinforcing your Stay Home shelter, the right tools make the mission possible. This isn’t about gimmicks — it’s about proven gear that works under pressure and keeps you operational when every second counts.

From field repairs to fire-starting, these ten tools are the backbone of self-reliance. Master them, maintain them, and keep them within reach at all times.

1. 🛠️ Multi-Tool

A compact, all-in-one tool with pliers, blades, screwdrivers, and more. Choose a rugged model you can operate with gloves on.

2. 🔪 Fixed-Blade Knife

Reliable for cutting, carving, and light prying. Full-tang construction preferred for strength and durability.

3. 🔥 Firestarter Kit

Redundant ignition sources — ferro rod, waterproof matches, and a windproof lighter — plus tinder for instant flame.

4. 🔦 LED Flashlight & Headlamp

One for hands-free use, one for directional light. Keep spare batteries sealed in waterproof packaging.

5. 🧵 Repair Kit

Needle, heavy-duty thread, duct tape, and safety pins for quick fixes on gear or clothing.

6. 🧭 Navigation Tools

Map, compass, and GPS device (with offline maps loaded). Never rely on just one method.

7. 📡 Communication Device

Handheld radio (FRS/GMRS/HAM) for two-way contact, plus whistle and signal mirror for visual and audible alerts.

8. 🪢 Paracord (550 Cord)

Lightweight, strong, and versatile — shelter building, gear repairs, or emergency restraints.

9. 🪛 Compact Pry Bar

For breaching, lifting, or breaking through debris. A small crowbar or dedicated pry tool can save your hands and your knife.

10. 🥄 Mess Kit

Basic cook pot, utensil, and cup. Enables safe food prep and water boiling in the field or during outages.

✅ Pro Tip

Every tool should be tested in real conditions before it earns a place in your kit. Gear that fails in training will fail when it counts.
