Don't forget fishing gear. Also a cheap ham radio. Maybe a good knife if you don't have one.

Build a radio yourself? If that's a thing, I guess.

Speaking of radios, I once knew a professor who could build almost anything from a transistor radio powered by a bamboo bicycle.

Brilliant man, that professor. Just Brilliant.

Yea, he started off as just part of "the rest" then eventually got the recognition he deserved. Great guy.

Maybe a good coffee maker instead of one of those damn electronic door bells.

Fuck, I had a coffee maker that looked like a chemistry set, but it made the best coffee I ever had. But, they break so easy. Literally broke 2 of them before I gave up and got a Black and Decker.

I think a decent bolt action 22 and like 300 rounds of ammo are commonly overlooked. You can eat a lot of small critters that a 22 is perfect for.

Only $300?

22 is definitely underlooked. Not only can you get the small critters but its the proper round. You don't want to blow bunny in half.

It's also overpriced. When I checked, years ago, it was close to 9mm prices.

Depends. Do you want a folder, fixed blade, auto? Do you want an EDC knife? Self-defense? Both? What are you going to do with it? Random everyday stuff? Or actual work cutting wood, rope, etc? Price range? It's a bit to think about because there's a gazillion knives to choose from.

Personally, my top EDCs are Microtech Troodon, Benchmade Mini-Reflex and ProTech TR-5, but many people like Spyderco, CRK, ZT... like I said, there's a gazillion choices.

Anything designed by Ken Onion. The Leek is one my small EDCs.

Nice and may I also suggest a Hatchet or Axe set that comes with a flint kit! Never know!
