A part of my bushcraft essentials are, believe it or not, two rolls of heavy duty dog poop bags. 13" x 9", non scented, 15 count per roll. They can be used for holding water, protecting small things from water like kindling, a place to put food items you may need to gather, and if it's really rainy you can make sandbags with them. I'm sure their are other uses so let your inner McGyver run wild.

We also made a flat blade screwdriver on the handle of our channel locks when I worked at a Detroit Edison power plant. We used the blade to open up electrical control panels to do resets. We carried them on our rear hip, looped over our belt, so that the sharpened end of the handle didn't slice you open!

Great idea. How about a chisel end for shaping bushcraft what-have-you. Also, personally I like to crimp the end of the heat shrink by pinching it together with a hemostat or needle-nose plier immediately after heating it up. This way the handles are better insulating if you need to work on anything electrically hot. One can always rip off the heat shrink if you wanted to use the chisel or other tools ground in to the handle ends.

An additional hack, specifically for RovyVon or similar micro edc flashlights. Make it a neck light with some paracord. It makes access to it more convenient in almost every scenario, you have a way to secure it to things when you need an area light, and it can even be worn without clothes. Do with that what you will.

I have been using paracord for flashlight tethers for years. My method involves keeping one side free to use as a lanyard while still being able to hook it around the light and use it as the hands-free loop or, most commonly, an impromptu belt loop for storage. It works with fewer designs, but the versatility it gives is amazing.

Pro tip. For small flashlights with a two way clip for putting on a hat cut a small slit into the brim of the hat about 2-3" from where the bill meets the cap (length of clip + 1") super glue the threads so they dont fray and you can slip your light into it and it will lay on the bill without sticking out really far. Its far more natural to use as a headlamp that way.

You can also use the leatherman bit driver on top of a victorinox screwdriver (like the one found in the mini champ) and use different bits. Also bits can be used as a fire starter if you strike it with the mini champ file.

If you grind some flats on one of the knipex pliers handle tips you can add a standard flat screwdriver, or pry bar function. The other handle can be ground flat and then carefully angled the other direction for a two-sided philips driver. It would be cool if Knipex added proper #2 flat and #2 philips shapes at the handle ends though.

And to take ranger bands a bit further: when you make your own out of old bicycle innertubes, you can make them any width you like, while store-bought ones usually come in different diameters, but usually not different widths. I find that they give better grip if you clean off the talc powder on the outside of the tube (put there to reduce friction between the tire and the tube) that they give a lot more grip. The advantage to cutting your own ranger bands to wider sizes is that you can do the shrink wrap-flashlight hack without buying shrink tubing and used tubes from bike shops are always free. You can ask the wrenches in the back if they have a box of them but often times, they're piled out by the dumpster. Most shops replace rather than patch tires but they'll sell you a patch kit 😉

@Zoroasterisk

I'm mostly a pocket knife guy (Hogue Deka crew represent) but I recently started looking at them, and man. Flashlights are a lot. What I've gleaned so far is that CRI roughly measures color accuracy, and comes at the cost of power/heat efficiency. So, generally speaking, you'd want high CRI for anything to do with cameras or where it's really important to distinguish different colors, but for outdoor use, low CRI is IMO more desirable because it'll last longer. Hope this helps, sorry if I over explained
@Jacobbunt
@Jacobbunt 5 ай бұрын
@@Zoroasterisk That definitely helps, CRI was the last flashlight spec that I didn't really understand. I like slightly weird gear so I ended up grabbing a Olight Oclip and its been crazy useful for EDC but now I'm looking at larger flashlights for the times I need more power and run time and I'm thinkin the baton 3 pro max but I'm still lookin to see if i can find something reasonably priced with more runtime at 1000 Lumens

I recently found that the opposite/near-widest channel opening on a set of 150 Cobras works as a wire cutter in a pinch (literally!) Only works on wire you could feed into the groove though. Also when doing the handle heat shrink, try cutting a 1/2" "tail" that you can tuck back into the tubing to create a bit more padding for the very ends of the handles. Cheers!

Incredibly useful ideas - thanks for showing. I already knew about ranger bands and went to my bike-shop asked them and got a whole bunch of different sizes for free. Mostly an innertube is thrown away after 2 or three repairs, but the rest is still in good shape - rubbing it with talcum improves the lifespan and works as a dry lubricant as well. One of my favorite hacks is taking a cheap, regular locking 1/4" hex-driver and file and/or grind it flat on two opposite sides until it fits my Leatherman Wave bit holder. Got one for 6€ instead of 25€ for the Leatherman Extension, and much more compact - love it!

I like your flashlight lanyard idea but I still like mine better. Although I've never needed it, mine can be adapted to yours quickly. My flashlight is on a lanyard made to wear ID badges, park passes, etc. The type you see everywhere and they often have corporate logos and are handed out as schwag. I simply wear it around my neck, dangling when in use. I can use both hands and (this is key) as long as I'm working on something directly in front of me and below my chest, it works great. Car repairs, clean a fish, air up a tire, and find the right key for a lock. It works great and points where I usually need it. Your method always points the light off somewhere else unless maybe you are using a screwdriver and gripping it overhand working chest high or above. I wouldn't call mine a hack. It's just hanging an led flashlight on a lanyard and putting it around my neck the way that event pass lanyard was meant to be used. I can wrap it around my hand binding the light to the back of my hand if I want to, but never have. When the need arises I'll remember your trick.

Tip #1…. If you don’t have a clip you can loosen your cap a little and stuck it between cap nd forehead. Tip #2 very good but I do do it for mugging purposes (live in Mexico City). Tip #3 is pure gold. I’m going to offer one tip: carry a good length of synthetic gut or sinew cord. If you carry 30 grams in a bundle you’ll probably have 100 yards. I cannot tell you how tough synthetic sinew is. It can replace paracord in 98 out of every 100 things you use paracord for. Great video, thanks.

You can use just a loop of shock cord for the flashlight. I tie mine near the tail cap. Then just loop it over the back of my hand and slip it over the front. I can easily remove it, and reattach it if necessary.

The analog watch as compass hack is an excellent skill. Remember that you need to adjust for daylight savings time. During DST SOUTH would be halfway between the 1 o'clock position and the hour hand.

I have range bands but don’t use them too much. I do like the idea of having them for the flashlight with the bungee. I have both Knipex pliers. That was good mods for them.

Also, I don’t think a lot of people know this about the knipex cobra pliers but you don’t have to hold both the handles. Once you get it, locked onto something you can let go of one of the handles and it still holds the grip completely tight. They actually lock on kinda like vice grips.

Mentions Macgyver, doesn't show any hacks for a SAK. In a pinch, you can use the cap lifter on a SAK with 1/4 inch drive sockets. Had to take a battery out of a family members car, and had plenty of sockets, but no ratchet in the truck. So, got the cap lifter out in the halfway position, put the socket on it, and got the battery out. And if you dont have a dedicated bit driver, you can get a 1/4 inch bit driver to use with most SAK cap lifters. Also, I don't know why i didnt think about using shrink wrap for tool grips, it only makes sense.

Not sure if someone already said it or not, but if you have a leatherman p2 or p4 you can open both phillips and flathead drivers together and put a 1/4inch drive socket on them. It’s not perfect but works in a pinch for sockets and other bits.

If you can't find orange shock cord (very hard to find), you can get color shrink tube (much easier to find). Comes commonly in yellow, blue, white, red.

I truly hate being loaded down. So I carry as little as possible. I can handle almost any situation with my Buck knife, penlight, and Leatherman.
