I always carry survival equipment with me. It's easy!
- The trusty pocketknife! Indispensable for cutting vines, tall grass (to braid into rope), cutting up meat, killing meat animals, self-defense, and even cutting and whittling saplings into traps or shelter. It's my weapon, my cutting tool, my screwdriver in a pinch, my eating utensil, and my cooking utensil.
On my feet are shoes, and in those shoes are shoelaces. Perfect little strings for whatever you need:
Speaking of my feet, a well-made boot makes one heck of a hammer in a pinch.
Cigarette lighters are good for more than lighting cigarettes;
Believe it or not, car keys can be pretty effective weapons if need be. Just insert the keys into an area where keys are not designed to fit, and your attacker may think twice about the logic behind their decision to attack you.

I heard somewhere once that humans can eat whatever deer eat if your unsure of a food source.

Lot of people also forget if you eat only vegetation it will make you sick, you need some sort of protein. Beetles and earthworms are very nutritious once you get over the fact you are eating a bug. And they are everywhere.

Incorrect mate, your right though it is a weapon. However you are allowed to carry one if you have a reason annnddd if you cant open it one handed and its under a certain length. Or your OBVIOUSLY using it for something, I mean I carry two knives on the water with me and I'd be arrested for having both in the high street without a reason. Even if both where more likely to kill you via tetanus then being stabbed by them Not sharpened them in months
A good strong multi tool is the way forward IMO, one with a locking knife is a definate plus. Gets round the knife laws and still gives you tool you need.

Both shoes and shoelaces can be used as weapons - they are soon to be outlawed - walk bear foot or face a criminal record!
