Compared to the rest of the animals that roam, swim or fly about this planet we Humans really do not have much of a tool box. 

Claws, talons, teeth, tusks and horns are not on the list of items that we are born with.

Yes, our brain is our Superpower that enables us to survive and thrive in all types of environments and out into space. 

Yet we may have the software; we do not have the “Hardware” aside from our nails, fingers and teeth. 

TheQuarterMaster has a fantastic range of tools that are portable and pocket size. 

Our Multitool is a great price and comes with a 10 year warranty with 13 tools will be able to grip, cut, pry, and file. Compared to your finger nails and teeth this is a real winner.

A simple Okapi or Honey Badger knife can defend you if attacked by a Cake or Piece of Biltong. 

Seriously though, I cannot get through my day without my Honey Badger, using it to cut tape, boxes or in the kitchen. 

From a self Defence point of view a Claw knife is a fantastic weapon of last resort especially if you are of the fairer sex. A blade can devastate an attacker from close up. 

I wish more women with the appropriate mindset and basic training carried a blade. By the end of the week there will be less rapists and abusers in society.

No matter how fantastic our Brain, Fingers and Nails are, you cannot start a fire with them. 

With a bit of practice you should be able to start a fire many time over with a Ferro Rod. It is virtually abuse proof and water proof.

If you have an inclination to the historical, why not try your hand starting your fire with a ”TontelDoos” or Tinder Box. It takes a bit of practice but is surprisingly easy once you get the technique right.

Think about it, the world was explored and settled with the help of canvas, wood, iron, brass and a lot of blood sweat and tears. 

There was not an iPhone, keyboard or Screen in existence! 

Simple tools carried in your pocket will make your day much easier. Try it You will be surprised how much you come to rely on them.

Stay safe: Be prepared
