Before I moved to the San Francisco Bay Area, keeping an evacuation get bag in the house wasn’t things I always thought I would like to do. However, I have always liked to do things my way. However, I presently reside less than a mile from the wrong, which earthquake experts claim is the most hazardous area in the area. And the question,” Did you feel that,” is one of the most often asked in my home?

However, natural disasters don’t give a previous notice, so my family and I have made an emergency plan for when the have arises: we keep our vehicles fueled up, we have our compact chargers topped up, and we all know how to shut off our fuel. The most crucial preparation work we’ve done, however, was putting together an a&nbsp bug-out bag. I’ve got a multitool from Gerber that includes pliers, scissors, screwdrivers, wire cutters, as well as a knife in my go bag right now without having to pay the full price.

You can spend a lot of money on a multitool, and some of those more pricey models are well worth it. However, I chose the Gerber Dime 12-in-1 Mini multitool because I wanted to buy more than one of these because my kids could always use one as well.

This multitool is typically around$ 30, but it’s always worthwhile, whether it’s on sale or not. However, you can save a few bucks during the Memorial Day sale and receive the red one for$ 26 ( a 10 % discount ). If red isn’t your thing, there’s a green version that costs$ 31 and a stylish all-black version for$ 30. I’ll explain below why I enjoy this tool so much. Here are our top picks for portable solar panels, power banks, and iPhones for additional go-bag staples.

How does this multitool fit into my emergency preparedness plans?

We also have a large toy chest full of earthquake kits, along with bug-out bags at hand. Weight isn’t really an issue with this large kit, which is known as a stay box, because we can store enough food, water, and other supplies to survive a few days or even weeks. However, each item in a go-bag must be transportable and necessary because weight quickly adds up. ( I chose the mini lantern I chose. ) The Gerber Dime 12-in-1 Mini is only a few ounces long and fits comfortably in my hand when folded up.
