Machete & SierraWyn
Hey Machete, if you had to pick one everyday item and turn it into a survival tool, what would you choose? I’ve been thinking about how we can improvise when the gear runs out.
If I had to pick one everyday item, it’s the shoelace. It’s strong, flexible, and you can strip it off any shoe, tie it up, and it becomes a rope, a sling, or a line for a makeshift trap. Ants already know the best routes, so you can use a shoelace to set a simple bait line. Keep it ready, keep it trimmed, and you’ve got a survival tool that’s always in your pocket.
Nice pick, Machete! A shoelace’s a true multitool—plus you’ve got the extra advantage of a quick cut and a quick knot. I can already picture you swinging it through a canyon or setting a line for a snack. Just don’t forget the spare pair, right?
