    Most unusual item in bug out bag?

    What is the most unusual item in your bug out bag? What do you plan on using it for if it is not self evident?

    I have two halves of a flexible cutting board. I bought a set of multicolored ones from Amazon. I placed two different colored halves in my bag. One is for skinning animals/cleaning fish and the other is a makeshift plate. They are lightweight and can be bent to the contour of my bag. I can wipe them clean and sanitize them over a little smoke for reuse. I can bend and use it carry small items (like twigs for my bio-stove, berries, etc.). I can use them as a windscreen for fire starting. I can use it as a work station for cleaning my firearm so I do not lose small parts.

    Your turn.

    Flask of Everclear. It's good in a trangia stove, use in place of rubbing alcohol for medical, can make tinctures if you know what you're doing, or you could get wasted on it if you wanted to.

    Plastic. I have some small pieces, maybe 12" - 16" square. Many uses, including water collection, berries, rinsing anything edible.

    I have a 6' piece of coated heavy gauge wire that is folded into a almost a square shape of about 6" on a side that fits into the inside dimension of my med size pocket organizer, Wire can be used in dozens of different applications.

    A giant rubber band. At 36" I figure it's got a lot of uses I haven't thought of yet.

    Maybe lashing things together, like poles for a portable teepee type tent to be covered with tarp or plastic. Stretch it tight between two tree branches to make a Ridgeline for a tarp tent. Or a clothes drying line. Use it to secure a rain cover for a backpack. And a zillion and one other things.

    Not real sure why I have this, but it looked like it would come in handy.

    There is also a tampon in my med kit for bullet holes.

    Ya never know when ya gotta grapple!
    I have the tampons, too. I just picked up a few Celox plungers so I may retire the tampons....but probably not.
