This cool accessory for your Swiss Army Knife came across my Facebook feed and caught my eye. The Swiss Army Knife has been for a long time, a companion for many prepared people.

Given the numerous natural disasters and large-scale riots protests across the country, it’s as good a time as any to cover (or discover) what considerations should go into building a “Go-Bag”.
