I couldn't get by around my home without these four additions:

(1) Solidly built LED flashlight - both low power (small sized) and higher power models

(2) A Dremel Tool with lots of extra bits - cutters, grinders, sanders, etc.

(3) A utility knife you aren't afraid to use hard - therefore no "trophy knives" - I use a $10 stainless Mora for this

(4) Paracord
