For
years I’ve adopted the same setup: My multitool on my right front
pocket and a folder on the left front pocket. The folder is kept sharp,
mostly intended for emergency use while the blade in my multitool is
what gets used for most things for which a pocket knife is needed from
opening wrappings, cutting cardboard, cutting food, cord and that long
list of etceteras. For years this has worked for me extremely well. As
years went by different items in my EDC have been upgraded. Flashlights
seem to be the one thing that keeps improving the most and gets updated
often. For years I carried a Cold Steel as my folder and still do on
occasions, but mostly the folder in my left pocket has been updated to a
Zero Tolerance 0630. It’s a rugged tactical folder that self deploys as
it comes out of the pocket. That’s a speed advantage I like having. Now,
when it comes to the multitool, that has remained the same over time. I
have tried others, but as years go by I still find theLeatherman Charge Ttito be the best multitool to have. I have tried others though, so here’s my top 3 list of best multitool: Leatherman Sidekick & Wingman
The Sidekick along with theWingman
have been Leatherman’s best-selling multitools. Truth be told it’s the
Wingman the one that sells best. The Wingman has large scissors that can
be accessed from the outside of the multitool just like the blade. A
lot of people favour scissors, especially good solid ones. The Sidekick
drops the scissors in favour of having a saw instead which I like
better. Most things that can be cut with scissors can be cut with the
knife. The saw on the other hand is harder to get by without when
needed. Are these top quality multitools? Not so much. They are great
budget tools and for a 40USD limit they are the best you can find in
the market, but the metal used is pretty thin. With moderate use, you
can expect the tool to show signs of wear, more wiggling and play
between its parts so don’t expect it to last as long as the more
expensive tools offered by Leatherman. It’s a good thing that Leatherman
offers such a good warranty because there’s a good chance that after
some time of heavy use it may need some service. Leatherman Wave
Here’s were Leatherman shows what it’s capable of. TheLeatherman Waveis
a long time classic and often chosen by those that need a full size,
hard use multitool. The choice of tools in it is very good. While made
of folded metal, the steel used in the Wave is visibly thicker than the
one used in the cheaper tools made by Leatherman. Even though it costs
twice as much as the Leatherman Sidekick and Wingman, this is in my
opinion the best bang per buck in multitools given the design, tools
included, quality of construction and durability. Here’s a tool that
will last you a lifetime and serve you well.
Best of the best. I haven’t found a MT that does so many things as well as the Leatherman Charge Tti.
The charge is basically an upgraded Wave, which is already excellent.
What the Charge improves on is on the steel used in the blade and the
titanium handles. S30V is a premium steel, far superior to the 420C used
in the Wave. While 420C is ok for a small folding knife, it is mediocre
compared to the edge retention of premium steel like S30V. This may
seem as a small detail since we all know that the importance of steel
used in knives is often exaggerated. Having said that, the smaller the
knife the greater the wear and the more important it is to have good
steel, especially so in a small pocket knife that will see a lot of use
and considerable wear. There’s where I’ll happily pay for good steel. A
second trait I greatly appreciate of the Charge is the sculptured
titanium handles. Having used both considerably, I can say the Charge is
FAR more comfortable to use. For small jobs it’s not that big a deal,
but when using pliers, the blade or screwdrivers for extended periods of
time (say you’re putting together something from IKEA) the more
comfortable handles does make a difference. If you can afford it,
this is the one you want for your EDC. It can take a lot of use, even a
bit of abuse within a reasonable limit. Mine has served me well for many
years of constant, daily use. What about the Signal? The Leatherman Signalcould
have been a great multitool but I find the design to be inferior to
what Leatherman is generally capable of. Maybe it’s not Leatherman’s
fault, but the consumers. It was the consumers that asked for a
multitool… with a whistle… oh, and a firesteel! Gotta have a firesteel!
Oh, and I need to sharpen my two inch blade pretty often when I’m out in
the woods doing survival stuff. I can imagine the smart people over at
Leatherman pulling this one together, very much like Homer Simpson’s
brother’s company workers putting together “The Homer”, Homer’s dream
car. So yes, that’s the Signal. Problems with the Signal? The
blade. It sucks. Both regarding the lack of strong fine tip and that
combo edge and the choice of steel. I wont have a 420C steel blade when I
already have the far superior S30V in my Charge. Pliers are nice, but
having replaceable steel inserts in my pliers won’t make my day. I’d
rather have that 154CM steel in the blade thank you very much. The
plastic whistle, firesteel and sharpener look gimmicky. Any serious
outdoorsman or survivalist will have a better whistle and better fire
starter. Oh but its an emergency, your Signal is ALL you have. Well,
then I also need clothes, boots, first aid kit, a flashlight and a long
etc. Since you cant have it all, at least have good things of what you
have. And if you’re going to integrate a whistle and firesteel, do it
right, meaning a)without compromising the rest of the tools, which are
why you carry a MT in the first place b)Give me quality items that are
up to the standards of the rest of the tools in the MT. Don’t get me
started on the sharpener. Useless waste of space which could have been
used to improve the other tools. And by the way, if you can’t sharpen a
knife with a smooth stone well enough then the multitool won’t help you
anyway. I see why I would like to access the diamond file on my Wave or
Charge to sharpen the knife, sure would be nice, but a simple cut on the
existing file in the Wave and Charge with little else being changed
would make that possible, all while leaving me a much useful tool. Very
likely to get lost or disengage unintentionally? Sure, but not more
likely than loosing the already useless sharpener in the Signal.
Anonymous said... Nice vehicle. Hondas are pretty
reliable vehicles. I would offer one thought though: how do you drive a
standard transmission if one of your legs or arms is incapacitated ? Twenty
years ago, I pulled a rotator cuff tendon on my right arm, forcing me to keep
it slung for two weeks for it to heal. If I had to shift a manual transmission,
it would have been very difficult. Likewise, a foot / leg injury would not
allow me to disengage the clutch, not without some difficulty.
Just food for thought.
.
.
That’s actually a valid point.
On one hand manuals are more durable, simple and allow greater control of
the car and engine. Having used nothing but manuals my entire life (other than
some rentals here and there) I can drive one using one hand or even one foot.
Granted, not exactly something I recommend doing.
On the other hand an automatic is easier to use if an arm or leg has been
injured. It’s also better regarding fuel efficiency in most cases. The ease of
use by drivers that don’t know how to drive manuals and the ease of use when
injured are probably the reasons why military vehicles such as Humvee have
automatic transmission.

Message: http://www.kdrv.com/news/Ashland_Police_Warn_of_Continued_Kidnap_Scam_.html I believe you called this "express kidnapping" in your book, where somebody calls the mark and claims to have a relative of the mark who they kidnapped, and to send money. Keep in mind that this isn't New York or Los Angeles, but sparsely populated south Oregon-Medford is the main city, but it only has around 80,000 people. It looks like you're right yet again. I believe it was Mark Twain who said, history may not repeat itself but it rhymes.
Before Collapse
.. That’s very interesting, thanks for the link. Indeed,
it happens a lot in Argentina. This is what we call “virtual
kidnapping”. Basically “virtual kidnapping” is any kind of scam in which
the victim is made to believe that a loved one has been kidnapped but
no one has been actually taken. It can be anything from random calls to
scams made with knowledge of the supposed kidnap victim being away,
maybe on business, or otherwise. In one case I remember from Argentina,
the “virtual kidnap” was perpetrated because the virtual kidnapper knew
the victim would be away for several hours with his mistress, cell phone
off to avoid being located. That gave the virtual kidnapper a good
window of time to work with and collect the ransom money from this
person’s family. These kind of scams are precisely why it’s so
important in a place like Argentina (and I guess now USA) to have your
cell phone with you at all times so as to quickly contact family
members. “Express kidnap” is different. It involves someone actually
being kidnaped. It’s called “express” because it’s usually a very fast
action, not involving the intel often found in more elaborate, typical
kidnaps. “Express kidnaps” often involve criminals simply driving around
looking for targets that seem wealthy. This may be people wearing
expensive clothes, location (wealthy neighbourhoods) fancy cars or
private school uniforms. At one time several private schools encouraged
students to stop wearing the school uniform because pupils were being
kidnapped because of them. The amount of ransom money asked is usually
far less than a classic kidnap. The idea is to get paid little money but
get paid fast, minimising the chance of getting the police involved. FerFAL Fernando “FerFAL” Aguirre is the author of “The Modern Survival Manual: Surviving the Economic Collapse”and “Bugging Out and Relocating: When Staying is not an Option”.
Hi Fernando,
I've seen you write about criminals attacking cars
using foam or other things to force a driver to stop so they could
steal the car, did you ever see criminals attack a car's tires? Also did
new tires become hard to acquire or did they just go up in price like
everything else did? Sean
Hi Sean, Thanks for your email. There’s actually a few things worth mentioning. First,
yes tires did become pretty expensive, even more so than in USA or
Europe, especially if you wanted to get good ones and not some cheapo
ones made in China. You have to understand that once a country goes
down like Argentina did after the economic collapse, there’s an amazing
number of factor that come into play all at the same time and tires are
just an example. A bankrupt government means very poorly kept roads.
Roads fall apart surprisingly fast if not cared for. There’s potholes
all over the place and are at times impossible to avoid. Sometimes they
are downright craters that can not only ruin a tire or rim but break an
axis as well. Suspensions need to be changed pretty frequently as well
because of this. No money means no cleaning and the roads are full of
all kinds of litter and debris, the chances of getting a punctured tire
are pretty big. An economic collapse means people are desperate for
money… including mechanics and tire shops. It was and still is pretty
common for shops to “spike” the roads with nails so as to get more work
repairing flat tires. At one point the roads were so full of nails you
could easily get two or three flat tires a week until you realized which
roads had been spiked.
Criminals
also use this same method to force you to stop and carjack you or mug
you. The most sensible thing to do if you got a flat tire in an isolated
part of the road was to keep driving anyway you could until you got to a
gas station or more populated area so as to avoid getting attacked.
Even then there were no guarantees but yes, it was a tactic commonly
used by criminals as well. Maybe the most common one is to simply throw a
brick through your windshield to force you to stop. People have been
serious injured, even killed because of this. Stanley J5C09 1000 Peak Amp Jump Starter with Built in Compressor
This
is yet another reason why I believe a SUV makes so much sense. A bigger
car with bigger tires is more likely to have more rubber and hold on
better against nails and such. If possible, I think it’s a great idea to
get runflat tires just for this kind of situation. If anything, at
least check your spare tire, have an inflator (or better yet a charger
compressor combo like the one above) and know how to change a tire. Take care, FerFAL Fernando “FerFAL” Aguirre is the author of “The Modern Survival Manual: Surviving the Economic Collapse”and “Bugging Out and Relocating: When Staying is not an Option”.
This guy came back shooting. Crazy! C- Thanks for the link. Notice a couple things,
1)The window of opportunity. The two most vulnerable moments of the day
in high crime areas (and the most vulnerable even in safer ones) is
when leaving or entering the house. That’s when you’re more likely to be
attacked, that’s when you should be extra careful and aware of what’s
going on around you. 2)The legality of the shooting. The attacker
threatened the victim first with a gun. The home owner didn’t rush in
guns blazing. While in some States you can use lethal force in defense
of your property, in others you are required to be in legitimate fear of
your life. In this case there’s no doubt about the house owner being
threatened with a firearm and the justification of the shooting. It
could have easily been a very different outcome with the victim in jail
instead. Make sure you know your local laws and make sure you know them
well, especially when it comes to the legal status of the use of
firearms, self-defense and the use of lethal force. I'd rather be
judged by 12 than carried by 6. Sure, no argument there. But you know
what’s the reality-based survival twist to that saying? If I’m getting
judged by 12, I sure as hell want a “not guilty” verdict. Counting
on WROL working in your favour is as wise as counting on getting away
with doing something illegal, its just a VERY bad idea. FerFAL Fernando “FerFAL” Aguirre is the author of “The Modern Survival Manual: Surviving the Economic Collapse”and “Bugging Out and Relocating: When Staying is not an Option”.
Fernando, Hey amigo. I haven’t heard from you for some time. Good to know you’re still out there writing excellent, realistic articles like this one. I think in any Argentina-like inflationary situation cash, especially in the form of gold and silver, would rule.
I agree with you that WROL is unlikely to occur (failing a truly
catastrophic event that shatters all infrastructure). The U.S.
government and most State governments have “continuity of government”
plans to insure their survival and ability to remain in power. They even
have plans for dealing with such horrifying events as a massive or
nuclear EMP. Note that I don’t claim their plans will be effective but
they do exist. So a total collapse of police or fire protection, or
medical services is unlikely–though a severe decline in or corruption of
such services is possible. About shooting looters or home invaders.
In most States, killing someone is deemed justified if you feel like
your life (or that of a family member, etc.) is threatened. Colorado has
a “Make My Day” law that allows a person to use deadly force to defend
their home and that has been held to apply to “on their property” not
just “inside the house.” The law you cited is that “Make My Day” law and
anyone who kills someone under paragraph 2 of that law is immune from
prosecution (paragraph 3) or from civil liability (paragraph 4). Still, not all States have such laws, so it is wise to know the laws of the State in which you reside.
I have enjoyed reading your books and found them very informative. My
own are fictional and envision a total societal collapse caused by a
massive asteroid impact. If you haven’t got around to reading them yet
I’d love for you to click on my website link and check them out. Ray
. Hello Ray,
That’s why its so important to know not only exactly what the law says,
but also what it means. For this last part most folks will need to have
a conversation with a lawyer or attend a shooting class which includes
legal advice. Fearing for ones life for example, means there has to
be a believable threat. This usually does not include shooting people in
the back while moving away, especially when outside private property.
This is why it’s a VERY bad idea to chase criminals. Its practically
impossible to claim self-defense when the criminals are traveling away
from you while you chase them. FerFAL Fernando “FerFAL” Aguirre is the author of “The Modern Survival Manual: Surviving the Economic Collapse” and “Bugging Out and Relocating: When Staying is not an Option”.
It had already been in use by several special forces units but its now official and the Glock 19 will slowly replace the venerable SIG226.
Personally I think it’s the best choice they could possibly make. In
fact, the Glock 19 is the handgun I specifically recommend in my book “The Modern Survival Manual”,
both for novel shooters and experts. In my opinion it combines
reliability, compactness, accuracy, light weight, ease of use, ammo
capacity and ease of maintenance like no other firearm in the planet. Of
all the people I taught how to shoot, without exception all of them,
men and women, large hands or smaller ones, they all shot considerably
better with the Glock 9mm than with any other gun. At the same time 95%
of expert shooters that I consider worthy of taking note of what firearm
they carry, they all choose Glocks. As a one and only firearm I
have a tad of a preference for the slightly larger full size Glock 17
(the smaller Gen 4 is just perfect IMO), but I understand that for
special forces operators that already carry a rifle and considerable
weight, the lighter weight and more compact model 19 is better suited as
a small yet fully capable, full capacity secondary firearm. The shorter
barrel of the Glock 19 also means that the addition of a sound
suppressor does not excessively extend the overall length of the
firearm, which is yet another desirable feature. The Glock 19 is perfect
for covert operations where better concealment is important, while
still retaining the same firearm used as a sidearm along with their long
arm during training. FerFAL Fernando “FerFAL” Aguirre is the author of “The Modern Survival Manual: Surviving the Economic Collapse”and “Bugging Out and Relocating: When Staying is not an Option”.

One
of the things I constantly remind people of is the importance of
reality-based survival and preparedness. It’s hard to think of another
field of study where fantasy and reality get mixed up so often and to
such extent. I participate in various forums and always look forward to
people’s thoughts and concerns. It is amazing to see how many times
people take fantasy as facts, make unfounded assumptions or even prepare
based on completely fabricated suppositions. A favourite classic of
mine: “When SHTF no one will care how much silver/gold is worth”.
Really? What makes you think that? Based on what exactly are you making
such assumption? Do you have examples of this ever happening? These are
just some of the questions such people have no answer for. In the
case of firearms and self-defense shooting, another myth I work hard to
dispel is the idea of “WROL”. The weekend survivalist, uneducated other
than his Master’s degree in The Walking Dead Sciences, gets on his
tactical soapbox and begins: “cuz.. after SHTF… you know… there aint no
police… cuz everyones on his own and the law don’t matter no more.. cuz
dat’s WROL.. ya know… without rule of law”. OK, so maybe this is a
mild exaggeration but dear God its concerning how many people out there
go for a slightly more polished version of what I just quoted. The
reality is a tad more complex. For those of us that have been through
what self-claimed experts theorize about, and have gone a step further
beyond just having personal experience and spent literally years
seriously studying and researching these topics, we know better. The
simple truth is that society doesn’t disappear, it may get chaotic at
times but it’s still there, and more relevant to the topic the laws
don’t go anywhere the day you’re brought to justice and asked to answer
for your actions. The problem with all these fantasies about going
out shooting raiders and looters is that there are real looters and real
criminals out there. Before the world goes Mad Max and you start
kidnapping people and using them as walking blood banks because the
world run out of food (but somehow managed to retain the ability to
build the most insane custom vehicle with horrible fuel efficiency)
before any of that happens you will have to go through very hard times.
You will have to avoid getting kidnapped in parking lots or carjacked,
defend your home from home invaders, somehow make your home safe when
away, find ways of defending your income, you will have to survive for
REAL, not Man vs Wild but REAL SURVIVAL folks, do you understand what I
mean by this? Argentina is a country where unbelievable things have
been happening for years. It’s a country where those that manage to
survive have to go through their own trials in more than one occasion
and many fail to make it through every day. I’ll give you an
example. Argentina has suffered an 80% inflation since 2014. 40% for
2014, 40% for 2015. That’s official World Economic Outlook numbers.
That’s the second worst inflation in the world after Venezuela, where
people kill each other over a pack of food. That’s double the inflation
of Iran and almost four times the inflation of Ukraine. Just ask
yourself, how would you cope yourself with prices going up 80% in two
years? Where would you be, how would you support your family? And
yet, the world hasn’t ended. No Mad Max, just the same crap as always,
only worse. When it comes to crime, you better know how to avoid
trouble, you better know how to defend yourself, but you better know the
law as well because the minute you screw up they will come after you.
This is true for Argentina and its true for America as well. Before you
prepare for Mad Max, before you ride eternal, shiny, and chrome, you
have to survive the real world. You have to survive the looters and well
organized criminals yes, but before that you have to survive the
carjacks in parking lots, the meth heads, muggers and home invaders, and
you have to survive them within the margins of the Law. Sorry friend,
no WROL for you. The law is still very much there, not to protect you,
but to answer to. And if you fail to be prepared to do so, if you’re not
prepared to fight armed with your firearm but also armed with the
knowledge of your local laws, you won’t have to bother with preparing
much because you’ll have the State housing you and feeding you, in
prison. FerFAL Fernando “FerFAL” Aguirre is the author of “The Modern Survival Manual: Surviving the Economic Collapse”and “Bugging Out and Relocating: When Staying is not an Option”.
Some
interesting info worth remembering. When it comes to British coins, Pre
1920 coins are sterling silver, meaning 92.5% silver content. From 1920
to 1946, these are known as Pre-1947, these are 50% silver. For more information, examples and a couple other things a junk silver buyer should know, check the video below!
During a verbal altercations, stay out of range. This is particularly
important when interacting with strangers during arguments and
discussions. Think car accidents, altercations with neighbours, etc.
This happened in Argentina just a few days ago. The fat guy hitting the
victim is a “trapito”, these are gangs of semi-legal criminals that
charge you a fee, sometimes pretty high, for parking in public, no
charge areas. The victim suffered a fractured jaw, hit his head when he
fell and is still in critical condition.
.....
Notice a few things.
1)The victim is a pretty big guy. Taller, muscular and more fit than
his attacker. Given that he continued the interaction rather than just
getting in his car may indicate that he’s used to having the upper hand
during arguments. This takes us to the main lesson, which is never to
engage in a fight unless you have to. Insults, verbal taunts and
gesturing means nothing. If you get into your car and just leave you won
the fight. Lesson#1: The best outcome is avoiding the fight in the first place.
2)The attack is clearly overweight, and seems shorter than the victim,
but none of that matters. Check out the speed. Turns out he’s got a
black belt in karate. He’s very fast for his size and knew exactly the
mistake the victim made by stepping too close Lesson#2: Never
underestimate your opponent, big or small, fat or skinny. A bullet in
your head or blade through the ribs kills you just as well.
3)A concealed carry firearm or knife or OC spray would have made no
difference in this case. It’s not all about the weapon you carry, or
even how good you are at shooting it. Its about fighting and being smart
about it. Lesson#3: Gun fight, knife fight, fist fight. Fight is the key word. The verb is what matters, not so much the noun.
4)Keep out of punching/grabbing range. Distance gives you time to
react, deploy weapons, get behind cover or simply run. Big, strong,
being armed, even being a trained fighter, none of that matter if you
get KO. Lesson #4: Keep your distance.
5)Lesson #5: Bring your hands up during a discussion.
This is essential to avoid getting sucker punched and would stop 95% of
the sucker punches you see in videos of attacks. Rarely will you see a
perfect straight punch, let alone one with enough power to KO. Its rare
enough in pro boxing and UFC, even more so in a street fights. A boxer
stance may seem intimidating and probably escalate the level of
violence. The boxer stance is what you do when you’re in the fight, not
when trying to avoid it. It is usually recommended to bring the hands up
to face level, palms forward in a “wow, calm down dude” attitude. This
isn’t bad, a) it brings your hands up, face level in front of your which
is what you want b) it is a stance more likely to deescalate the level
of violence. c) It is instinctively perceived as conciliatory body
language “Look, I’m unarmed, look, I mean you no harm”. In my experience
it is very likely to deescalate the violence unless the attacker
already made up his mind about attack you no matter what. The problem
with this stance is that if this is the case, it leaves the underside of
your wrists exposed. A sudden knife attack would damage your Radial and
Ulnar artery as well as tendons, disabling the use of your hand and
causing life threatening bleeding. You don’t want that. I suggest the
“old lady stance”. Hands up but palms facing towards you. Imagine and
old lady pleading with her grandsons “Boys, can you please stop
fighting!”. Either that or the “lying fisherman” stance, perpendicular
palms facing one another. It doesn’t protect your wrists as much but may
seem more natural and would be faster for striking or grappling.
