https://youtu.be/krSzDruljGY I recently ran across this Waypoint Survival video about the essential tools a typical hobo might have carried 100 years ago. It led me to think about how the gear chosen by an itinerant worker past or present would differ from the typical survival kits seen from folks anticipating disaster. Don't get me wrong, I am a staunch advocate for having a basic first aid kit and bug-out bag along with plans to handle forest fires (my local most probable natural disaster) or whatever else might come your way. But few internet personalities seem to be concerned with what to do after the emergency passes. And there are occasional neat stories about so-and-so undertaking transcontinental hikes and the like. What do you need to pass the time, earn some coin, and work odd jobs along the way whether rebuilding after an emergency or just setting out on a more nomadic life? Obviously, the first item is a knife. One of the oldest tools known to mankind is still an essential.
